  Quality assurance (QA) documents are often collected locally on a per-component basis by the manufacturing teams, while project engineers require global evaluations of the QA documents e.g. for production control or during installation and commissioning of the machine. DESY is using an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) for supporting and unifying the QA documentation of different accelerator components. The EDMS provides dedicated user interfaces which are optimized for the needs of the specific engineering teams which are working on the components (including industrial manufacturers), and at the same time integrates the QA documents into a central database for further overall analysis and applications. The poster introduces the general structure of QA procedures, describes the benefits of using an EDMS for QA documentation and describes examples from different applications at XFEL and PETRA III.

  The Technical Infrastructure Monitoring system (TIM) is used to survey and control CERN's technical services from the CERN Control Centre (CCC). The system's primary function is to provide CCC operators with reliable real-time information about the state of the laboratory's extensive and widely distributed technical infrastructure. TIM is also used to monitor all general services required for the operation of the accelerator complex and the experiments. A flexible data acquisition mechanism allows TIM to interface with a wide range of technically diverse installations, using industry standard protocols wherever possible and custom designed solutions where needed. The complexity of the data processing logic, including persistence, logging, alarm handling, command execution and the evaluation of data-driven business rules is encapsulated in the system's business layer. Users benefit from a suite of advanced graphical applications adapted to operations (synoptic views, alarm consoles, data analysis tools etc.), system maintenance and support. Complementary tools for configuration data management and historical data analysis will be available before the start-up of the LHC in 2007.

  This paper presents the air temperature analysis and control improvement for the technical zone, where many critical instrumentations of power supply, rf, vacuum and control apparatuses are located, at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS). The technical zone with circular shape is located on the core area of the storage ring. The diameter and height of the technical zone are 28.5m and 3m, respectively. Totally 13 temperature sensors are installed in this zone to online record the air temperature history. Because of insufficient cooling capacity and poor air circulation of the air-conditioning (A/C) system, the air temperature may reach to 30 degrees C, and spatial air temperature difference may be more than 7 degrees C. To cope with those problems, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is applied to simulate the spatial temperature distribution. The A/C cooling capacity will be increased, and the air exit and exhaust distribution will be modified according to the simulated results.

  After 13-year operation of the Taiwan Light Source (TLS), National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), had proposed to construct a new light sourc, Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) in the near future. TPS is preliminarily designed with 3.0 GeV in energy, 518.4m in circumference and 24 Double-Bend Achromat (DBA). This study designed the utility system, including the electrical power system, grounding system, de-ionized cooling water (DIW) system and air conditioning (AC) system for the TPS. Special considerations are focused on the stability of the electrical power and grounding system and temperature control of the DIW and AC systems. The power and cooling loads had been estimated according to each subsystem of the accelerator. Layouts of main utility equipment and piping system had also been preliminarily designed.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is an accelerator-based neutron source currently nearing completion at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. When completed in 2006, the SNS will provide a 1GeV, 1.44MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. SNS is a collaborative effort between six U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories and offered a unique opportunity for the mechanical engineers to work with their peers from across the country. This paper presents an overview of the overall success of the collaboration concentrating on the accelerator ring mechanical engineering along with some discussion regarding the relative merits of such a collaborative approach. Also presented are a status of the mechanical engineering installation and a review of the associated installation costs.
