Optimizing a photon absorber using conformal cooling channels and additive manufacturing in copper

This study optimizes a Diamond Light Source photon absorber using additive manufactured (AM; 3D printing) conformal cooling channels in copper, achieving a maximum temperature drop of 11%, pressure drop reduction of 82% and examination of the AM print quality and its compliance with synchrotron and particle accelerator hardware applications using custom benchmark artefacts. These improvements can reduce thermal fatigue failure, component size, vibrations and energy consumption of absorbers, boosting overall facility efficiency, reliability and beam stability.
