Abstract

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade is planned to take place during next long shut down of the LHC, starting in 2025. During this period the matching sections of both ATLAS and CMS experiments will be upgraded to allow for increasing collisions rate and more efficient luminosity production. One of the new element which will be introduced to the layout is the beam deflecting RF system so-called as crab cavities. Eight crab cavities modules, operating in superfluid helium, will be installed in this new machine layout. This paper will focus on the cryogenic design solutions adopted and integrated in the crab cavities cryogenic modules. The concept of the cryogenic modules was created in 2012 and evolved over the years with introduced optimizations of the cryogenic local cooling loops and related safety system. Design aspects of the chosen solutions for the first prototype and LHC compatible solution will be discussed. The thermal behavior results from operation on SPS proton beam from the first prototype module will be developed.
