Description

The thermal well system to support the cooling plant of the accelerator test facility Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is in test operation after about one year of commissioning. To avoid any impact on the environment, follow the governmental regulations, and document different aspects and operation statistics, KIT developed a special robust and reliable data handling pipeline.

We describe the implementation of the data archiving strategy, as well as the experiences gained and statistics on e.g. power reduction from the first year of commissioning of the thermal wells. Furthermore, our plans for improvement and extension of KARA's efforts towards sustainable operation are presented.
