  • Many welding processes are performed to construct cryogenic system. Leak-tight for the cryogenic system is required at low temperature environment. Helium leak detection techniques are commonly used to find leak for the cryogenic system. The helium leak detection techniques for spraying, sniffing and pressurizing techniques are introduced. High vacuum is also necessary to use helium leak detector. So, types of fluid flow, effective temperature, conductance and pumping speed are introduced for vacuum pumping. Leak test procedure is shown for pipe welding, cryomodule and low temperature test. Cryogenic seals which include copper gasket, helicoflex gasket and indium are investigated.

  • 지금 국내에서는 토카막 핵융합실험장치, 대전류 중성입자빔 실험장치 및 우주 모의실험실 같은 거대시설의 건설과 운용이 활발하다. 이런 시설의 핵심설비인 대형 진공용기는 중소형 용기에 비해 누설 가능성은 높은 반면 기체누설을 검사하는 것은 까다롭다. 중소형 용기에서 널리 사용되는 헬륨누설검사 방법을 어떻게 효율적으로 이런 대형 용기에 적용할 수 있는가 알아보기 위해, 다양한 가상적인 누설검사 시스템들을 구성하고 압력분포 및 헬륨 분압을 계산하여 주어진 장치조건에서 적절한 검사 시스템을 찾는 방법에 대해 논한다.

  • 포항가속기 저장링 진공챔버는 진공도가 $10^{-10}Torr$로 유지될 수 있도록 설계되었고, 초고진공에 적합하도록 TIG용접을 하여 헬륨에 대한 누설률이 $1{\times}10^{-10}Torr{\cdot}{\ell}/sec$ 이하의 기밀성이 요구되고 있다. 저장링 진공챔버에 적용된 TIG용접방법과 결함에 대해 논하고 누설검사에 사용된 헬륨누설검사기의 원리 및 검사방법에 대해서 보고하고자 한다.

  • A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used to the chemical/pharmaceutical industries, the semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, etc. with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. EPA stated that 60% of all fugitive emissions come from the valve stem packing in a typical petroleum or chemical processing plant. They monitor regulated components for leaks and maintain seal performance at acceptable levels. Korean industrial standards only deals with the bubble test for in-line leakage of valves, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-4}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], therefore, it is not sufficient to check fugitive emissions. In this study, we conducted Helium leak detection from a PFA lined ball valve and evaluated fugitive emissions according to ISO 15848-1, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-9}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], for manufacturing the high-reliable PFA lined ball valves against fugitive emissions.

  • Low temperature test for half-wave resonator (HWR) cryomodule is performed at the superfluid helium temperature of 2 K. The effective temperature is defined for non-uniform temperature distribution. Helium leak detection techniques are introduced for cryogenic system. Experimental set up is shown to make the low temperature test for the HWR cryomodule. The cooldown procedure of the HWR cryomodule is shown from room temperature to 2 K. The cryomodules is precooled with liquid nitrogen and then liquid helium is supplied to the helium reservoirs and cavities. The pressure of cavity and chamber are monitored as a function of time. The vacuum pressure of the cryomodule is not increased at 2 K, which shows leak-tight in the superfluid helium environment. Static heat load is also measured for the cryomodule at 2.5 K.
