Description

The current helium cryogenic system at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a single-plant configuration designed to support up to four superconducting RF cavities. While reliable in routine operation, the single-system architecture poses a critical vulnerability: any warm-up maintenance, scheduled overhaul, or unexpected repair requires a complete shutdown of the cryoplant, interrupting helium supply and affecting SRF availability.
To eliminate this single-point risk, TPS proposes a dual-system approach for upgrading its helium cryogenic infrastructure. By adding a second, fully independent refrigeration system, continuous helium supply can be maintained under all conditions—including planned servicing, component replacement, or unforeseen failures. With either cryoplant capable of sustaining essential SRF cooling on its own, the dual-system configuration ensures uninterrupted operation and greatly enhances overall facility resilience. This upgrade is essential for supporting long-term SRF stability and future accelerator development at TPS.
