Cryogenic aspects of the UTSI CFFF superconducting dipole magnet for MHD research

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5712416

The cryogenic aspects of the design of a large superconducting dipole magnet system to be employed for research in magnetohydrodynamics at the University of Tennessee Coal Fired Fuel Facility are presented. The system incorporates a low loss liquid helium cryostat, an integrated helium refrigerator/liquefier, and the necessary controls and instrumentation for cooldown, steady state operation, and fault conditions. Details of the design include the magnet cryostat, the cryogenic support system, instrumentation, and operations for cooldown, steady state, and fault conditions.
