Analysis of Booster Turbo Pump Manifolds
2012
Abstract
The Booster Accelerator uses Sargent Welch turbo pumps, back by roots blowers, to pump the magnet strings from atmosphere to ion pump starting pressure. In 2009, all of the Booster Correction magnets were upgraded to a larger correction magnet. This drove the need to redesign the turbo pump manifold. This new design incorporated a method to connect a different turbo molecular pump. The turbo pump chosen to test was the Oerlikon Leybold Turbovac 151 pump. This was based upon the previous success in the Tevatron, when used as a replacement for the 3120 Sargent Welch pump. The rated speed of the Leybold 151 is 145 l/s nitrogen. The rated speed of the Sargent Welch is 160 l/s nitrogen.
