Abstract

Based on the thermal effects on the beam stability formerly studied, a series of measures are taken to improve the air temperature control for the storage ring tunnel at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS). The cooling capacity is increased about two times by rearranging the Air Handling Units (AHU) and the piping system. The PID parameters are optimised to more effectively suppress the air temperature fluctuation. The global air temperature variation in the storage ring tunnel is currently controlled within ±0.1 °C related to time. After successful experience of air temperature control for the elliptical polarization undulator (EPU), the mini environment control is also applied on another insertion device, undulator 5 (U5). The ambient temperature variation of this magnet is controlled within ±0.1 °C related to time. The thermal uniformity is much improved than ever.
