Title: Superconducting magnet and on-board refrigeration system on Japanese MAGLEV vehicle

Abstract

This paper reports on a superconducting magnet and on-board refrigeration system on Japanese MAGLEV vehicles. Running tests on the Miyazaki test track are repeatedly carried out at speeds over 300 km/h using the MAGLEV vehicle, MLU002. The development of the MAGLEV system for the new test line has already started, and a new superconducting magnet for it has been manufactured. An on-board refrigerator is installed in the superconducting magnet to keep the liquid helium temperature without the loss of liquid helium. The helium gas produced when energizing or de-energizing the magnet is stored in on-board gas helium tanks temporarily. The on-board refrigerator is connected directly to the liquid helium tank of the magnet.
