- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
This presentation/paper gives an overview of the Oak Ridge National Lab`s collaboration with private industry in developing electric power applications for magnetic refrigeraters which use high temperature superconductors. Highlighted is the lab`s general approach and technical progress towards advancing magnetic refrigeration technology in the 20-80 K range by specifically developing a prototype magnetic cryocooler with could provide 50 W cooling at 40 K. Included is magnet schematics; a listing of the basic components; load points; magnet charge and cooldown; vendor for induction alloying elements; and performance testing. The projects are in collaboration with Astronautics Corporation of America and included are the proposed projects for FY 1995, key personnel, and the fiscal 1994 budgets.
