Explore the cutting-edge design concepts for enhancing services routing in the PPF1 region, including PCB packing, connector integration, and optimal alignment for power tapes and optical fibers. Achieve efficient routing and fluid cooling support.
E N D
PPF1 Design • Current work • Altering radial layout and routing through PPF1 locations to ease problems of services routing • Design of ‘busiest’ PPF1 region, i.e Powertapes, Powertape Cooling & Optical Fibre CLRC
PPF1 Design • Services routing from SCT EC to PPF1 CLRC
PPF1 Design • Current scheme for PPF1 P/T & Opt.Fibre • Envelope CLRC
PPF1 Design • Requirements • Support for up to 3 columns of 9 powertape PCBs • Support for optical fibre connections • Connector for fluid cooling • Routing for powertapes & cooling pipe & optical fibres (including straight through alignment fibres) + restraints for services into & out of region From http://www-f9.ijs.si/~cindro/cables/forward/pp0fz.pdf CLRC
PPF1 Design • Close Packing of PCBs • PCB packing to achieve minimum volume • Wedge arrangement for PCBs • Bond neighbouring PCBs (from same disc) = single large PCB • 3 & 2 connector long versions of PCB CLRC
PPF1 Design • 1st Concept • Idea • Use restraints at each end of PCB to clamp both powertape and conventional cable, then simply restrain both ends to locate PCB in desired location • Quick prototype • Quite difficult to get them to close pack as location and angle of PCB needs to be relatively accurate CLRC
PPF1 Design • New concept • Relatively simple PCB restraints • Slot location for rear (no tools) • Sprung location for front (where there’s easy access) • Plate for other connections (optical fibre & cooling) CLRC
PPF1 Design • New Concept Continued… • All PCBs set-up in dummy housing then tapes clipped together • Excess tape taken up in spare space over TRT EC Clipped further down bundle = little flexibility CLRC
PPF1 Design Sample tape = 250um Actual tape up to = 400um Sample stack lightly compressed = ~18mm Actual tape estimated compress = ~29mm Actual space = 31.5mm - 1 mm for restraint box • Excess Tape CLRC
PPF1 Design • New Concept Continued… • Cooling & Optical Fibres Region for optical fibre & cooling CLRC
