Conceptual design of a superconducting magnet coil for the large coil program. [Flat-wound NbTi coils]
A conceptual design for a toroidal field (TF) coil for a six coil test array has been developed. The electromagnetic, cryogenic, structural, manufacturing, quality assurance and verification testing requirements have been analyzed. The bore is oval shaped and is 2.35 meters horizontally and 3.35 meters vertically. The coil is designed to operate at 8T peak field at rated current of 10450 amperes when the other 5 coils in the toroidal array are at 80% rated current. Using-flat-wound NbTi conductor this pool-boiling, pancake wound coil is fully cryostable, and is enclosed in a 316LN stainless steel coil structure and helium container capable of supporting all expected in-plane loads and out-of-plane loads due to pulsed fields and unsymmetrical current distributions in the other 5 coils.
