Abstract

We present the concept design of the cryogenic feedbox for the superconducting dipole and quadrupole/multi-pole magnets of the Super-FRS (FRagment Separator) project. It also includes the warm gas control and management, the instrumentation and the control logic related with different operation modes of the magnet cooling. As one of the most important trip scenarios for cryogenic facilities, the over pressure in the magnet helium vessel caused by quench has been simulated for a prototype dipole. For safety reason, the safety relief valve and its sizing have also been taken into account.
