Examec has, together with RFR-Solutions in Landskrona, completed a major project for CERN that involves cryogenic energy transport of very high currents, from the earth’s surface down to 100 meters underground to power one of their detectors in the LHC accelerator.
The CERN research facility is home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator. A particle accelerator is a device where charged particles, primarily particles such as electrons, positrons and protons, are accelerated to high energies with electric fields. It is used for various experiments in particle physics and nuclear physics but also in other areas such as cancer therapy
Low-temperature steel pipes for cryogenic energy transport must be specially designed for cryogenic liquids and kept in good operating condition to ensure safe and efficient transport at extremely low temperatures.
