Description
The mandate of the European Spallation Source ERIC
is to design, plan, construct, commission, operate and
decommission the European Spallation Source (ESS).
It is located in Lund, Sweden, co-hosted by Sweden
and Denmark and has more than 22 Partner
Countries, including the UK. The UK contribution is
coordinated by STFC. The facility will deliver its first
neutrons in 2019 and is expected to be fully
operational by 2025.
The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be one of
the largest infrastructures in Europe and will be used
for neutron production for materials research. It will
use a long pulsed superconducting linac and
accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam current to the
energy of 2000 MeV. Peak beam power to the target
will be 125 MW, 7 times more than the highest power
existing facility.
STFC are providing a number of goods and services
on behalf of the ESS. This tender is for the
procurement of shutter switches for the RF distribution
system (RFDS) for the cold linac (for the Spoke and
Medium Beta (MB) elliptical cavities).
All the components shall follow EIA standards, unless
specified. Insulating materials shall be selfextinguishing
and not release any toxic or corrosive
products when subjected to fire.
All the components shall operate in pulsed mode with
high reliability for at least 20 years and shall be able to
withstand frequent stoppages without affecting
performance and reliability.
The Shutter Switches and their flanges are to be
made of aluminium alloy. Aluminium 6061-T6 alloy
(ISO Al Mg Si Cu) or equivalent is recommended by
ESS. The following alloys are acceptable: 6061-T6,
6082-T6, etc.
