The primary objective of the Phase 1 award was to investigate the performance of cryogenic pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) and their use in practical large superconducting magnet systems. PHPs exhibit an effective thermal conductivity an order of magnitude and more over high purity metals such as copper and aluminum. They can therefore be utilized to reduce cold mass and effectively transfer heat from the magnet system components such as the coil pack, shields, or current leads to cryocoolers or cryogen reservoirs.
