A case study of a high heat load equipment at the Australian Synchrotron

A case study of a front end shutter is presented in this paper. In this study, power density distribution of a super-conducting wiggler photon beam is calculated using synchrotron radiation workshop (SRW) and was input to Ansys workbench as boundary conditions using customized scripts written in Ansys. Two types of absorber, corrugated and flat styles, were verified in this study. Heat flux can be spread between ridges and grooves of corrugated surfaces. As a result, it was found that the absorber with corrugated surfaces had a better performance than the absorber with flat surfaces. Different absorber materials (OFHC and GlidCop copper) were also verified in this study
