Description
Warm vacuum interconnections are critical components used to couple adjacent vacuum chambers in the warm sectors of the LHC. Their primary functions are to ensure vacuum tightness, to accommodate small radial misalignments between chamber flanges, and to compensate for longitudinal thermal expansion/contraction of the Long Straight Sections during bakeout operations. Within the framework of the HL-LHC project, a new generation of warm vacuum interconnections has been developed. This design introduces a novel concept of RF contacts utilising a deformable radio frequency contact bridge.
This contribution outlines the main design, manufacturing strategies and qualification of these new warm modules for the HL-LHC operation.
