The Argonne National Laboratory has designed and is constructing a 6-T, 0.8-m minimum warm bore superconducting dipole magnet system for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) research. The system will be installed and operated at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) Coal Fired Fuel Facility (CFFF). The system will consist of a coil assembly contained in a liquid helium cryostat, a helium refrigerator/liquefier system, and controls and instrumentation for cooldown and steady-state operation. The design, instrumentation, and operation of the cryogenic system are described. (WHK)
