Fermilab satellite refrigerator compressors with the oil- and moisture-removal systems
Abstract
A helium purification system for the energy doubler and the experimental areas was tested. A purification system is installed after each screw compressor in the satellite refrigerators. The purification system removes oil mist, oil vapor, water vapor, and particulate from the compressed helium. The units were designed with consideration of modularity and necessary redundancy. Test results and achieved performance of the oil removal in the operating system are presented.
