Summary

We present non-traditional refrigeration circuit that has been prepared and developed for the particle detector cooling. Such unique applications require many additional technical demands compared to standard cooling circuits. Employed refrigerant must provide suitable performance within radioactive and magnetic fields; it should be chemically stable and moreover it should have dielectric performance to avoid damage of employed electronics in case of evaporator leakage. The special vapour cooling circuit capable to operate with fluorocarbon refrigerants (R218, R116, R610 or even with their mixtures), was designed for testing different elements of the final particle detectors’ cooling circuits e.g. heat exchangers, capillary tubes, evaporators and basic elements of the relevant cooling circuit control system. Successful implementation and use of the circuit is demonstrated via results obtained during commissioning runs with the Roman Pots (RP) detectors that are being installed and used within the TOTEM project at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN.
