1. INTRODUCTION
This procedure document describes the cold head of the F2000 magnet.

2. PROGRAMMING
None

3. TEST PROCEDURES.
None

4. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES.

4.1. COLD HEAD.

4.1.1. INTRODUCTION
The complete cold head must be replaced every two years.

CAUTION

The cold head can be damaged during installation if these operations are not done by trained personnel.
Extreme cold can condense air and produce moisture. This can cause ice to form, which may not be
removable. Install or remove the cold head quickly from the open cryostat to prevent air and moisture from
entering the cryostat.
________________

1. Do not remove the cold head if gas cleanup equipment and helium gas of the required quality
are not available.

WARNING

Only trained personnel must perform this procedure. Failure to properly perform this procedure may
result in death or injury, and/or damage to equipment.

CAUTION

Do not switch on the cold head heater controller before the yellow ball valve is open.
A magnet quench may be the result!
________________

1. Verify that there is positive pressure inside the magnet. If there is no positive pressure inside the
magnet, switch on the B0. Switching on the B0 heater is done via the application software with the
following procedure:
1. Login: Gyroscan
2. Select: Scan control.
3. Select: Scan utilities.
4. Select: Enter service mode.
5. Select: System tuning.
6. Select: System Tuning Tools.
7. Select: Installation procedures
8. Select: Magnet monitor procedures
9. Select: Heater control
10. Select: Activate heater
2. Verify that the heater switch on the cold head heater controller (CHHC) is in the OFF position.
3. Open the yellow ball valve in the vent line near the magnet turret.
4. Connect the thermocouple/heater power cable (item 204) to the CHHC and to the 11 pin Deutsch
connector on the magnet. See Figure - Cold head heater controller connected to the magnet.
5. Connect the CHHC mains cable (item 203). Use the mains connector that is also used for the
magnet power supply tool.
6. Switch ON the mains of the CHHC and check if the temperatures displayed on the ‘read-out’, shown

in degree Celsius about - 220 (20K) and about -190 (80K). Verify that the temperature set point on
the lower display is set to 15 degree.
7. Switch OFF the compressor in the technical room.
8. Switch ON the heaters switch at the CHHC. The warm-up time is approximately 45 minutes.

NOTE

The following steps may be performed while the magnet is warming:

________________

9. Disconnect the expander cable at the cold head.

10. Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the gas line clamps.

WARNING

Use two wrenches to disconnect the gas line couplings to avoid loosening the cold head coupling.
The gas pressure can project the coupling with enough force to cause injury.
________________

11. Disconnect the gas lines at the ‘supply’ and ‘return’ fittings on the cold head.
12. Use 2 wrenches, (items 212 and 213).

13. Break the fitting loose at the coupling by holding the fitting at the cold head with one wrench
while loosening the gas line nut with the other, see Figure – ‘Breaking’ the connection
14. Disconnect the gas line from the fitting by holding the body of the gas line coupling with one
wrench while unscrewing the coupling nut from the fitting, see Figure – ‘Breaking’ the
connection
15. Once the gas lines are disconnected, push the clamps retaining the gas lines down until the
gas line connections are below the cold head.

3. Mount the motor service tool clamp subassembly (item 205) to the service plate.
4. Securely clamp the valve motor with the valve motor clamp such that the magnetic motor is
restrained and cannot be pulled to the magnet by the magnetic field.
5. Securely tighten the 3 post screws to the magnet turret that were only hand-tightened in the
previous step.
6. STOP, DO NOT proceed further until the preprogrammed ‘set point’ temperatures for BOTH
the 20K and the 80K shields have been reached, as indicated on the CHHC.

[Link].Depressurise the cold head:

Vent the cold head to atmosphere pressure by opening both charge/vent adapter valves.

[Link].Separate the valve motor base from the surge volume

2. Use the 5mm tee handle wrench (item 207) to remove the 8 socket head cap screws (SHCS),
lock washers and flat washers (items A,B,C) that secure the base to the housing.
3. Use the swing arm of the service tool assembly to rotate the valve motor and valve motor
base subassembly out of the way, approximately 120 degrees clockwise.
4. Remove and discard the ‘O’-rings (items 07 and 08) from the face of the surge volume
housing that has been exposed as a result of the separating of the base from the housing.

2. By hand, raise the surge volume housing until the slack piston stem (item 02 of Figure - Cold
head rebuild parts 1/4) is clear of the magnet.
3. Remove the surge volume housing from the magnet area (DO NOT let the SHCS drop out of
the housing).
4. Remove and discard the 2 ‘O’-rings (items 03 and 04) from the grooves in the cylinder in the

tipped swabs (item 15).
5. Replace the equalisation capillary (item 10) from the SVH by using the wedge screwdriver.
(item 221)
The equalization capillary may be difficult to remove due to screw sealant. If the equalization
capillary is difficult to remove, apply heat with a heat gun then try again,
6. Use the wire brush (item 222) to remove all traces of remaining sealant from the capillary
threads in the SVH.
7. Clean the capillary threads and capillary porting with alcohol and cotton tipped swabs. Clean
the capillary path with alcohol soaked pipe cleaner.
8. Dry these threads and capillary path by purging with helium gas.
9. Wrap teflon tape (item 17) 2-3 turns counter clockwise (when facing slotted end) around the
centre threads of the new capillary (item 10).
10. Mount the new capillary inside the SVH with the wedge screwdriver (item 221), by turning the
capillary into the SVH until it hits the bottom

Service the variable bonnet/orifice assembly

1. Fully open the variable orifice/bonnet assembly by turning counter clockwise.

2. Loosen the variable orifice/bonnet from the SVH with the variable orifice/bonnet wrench
(item 220).

4.2. ADSORBER REPLACEMENT

The adsorbers of the compressor have to be replaced every 2 years. Revision of the adsorber is not
possible. Venting is not required when using the following procedure:

REMOVAL
1. Switch off the compressor power.
2. Disconnect the gas supply hose.
3. Remove the compressor top and left cover.
4. Disconnect the self-sealing couplings of the adsorber on the inlet side.

WARNING

Do not permit non-self-sealing fittings in the joint to loosen. The gas charge will vent.
________________

5. Loosen the bolt that holds the adsorber to the base from underneath the bottom panel.
6. Loosen the locking nut on the front panel at the supply fitting.
7. Pull the adsorber back until the supply fitting clears from the front panel.
8. Remove the adsorber from the module.

INSTALLATION
1. Remove the plugs from the gas lines of the new adsorber.
2. Position the adsorber on the base and insert the supply fitting through the front panel. Ensure
that the lock washer is installed on the fitting before inserting it through the front panel.
3. Install the bolt that mounts the adsorber to the base. Tighten the bolt and locknut.
4. Connect the adsorber self-sealing coupling on its inlet side.
5. Connect the gas supply hose.
6. Install the covers.

Used adsorber venting and disposal

1. Mount a venting adapter to one of the self-sealing couplings of the used adsorber.
2. Vent the used adsorber to atmospheric pressure.
3. A used adsorber should be treated as chemical waste.

Datasheet compressor
It's very important to know when it was the last time the adsorber has been replaced.
You can check this on the datasheet attached to the compressor. When no form has been attached, please
insert the next form in the plastic cover to the compressor.
