Abstract
When using the superconducting technology industrially, it is not always possible to install a refrigerator near a high temperature superconducting coil for cooling it. In the method using heat conduction cooling, cooling result as expected cannot be obtained due to temperature difference between a refrigerator and a superconducting coil via a heat transfer plate when the distance of the refrigerator and the coil is long. Therefore, a method of cooling a superconducting coil by circulating helium gas has been proposed. Helium gas discharged by a compressor at room temperature is cooled by a pre-cooling heat exchanger, thereafter cooled by a GM refrigerator. The cold helium gas cools the coil and current leads. In this study, the helium circulation cooling system was investigated by using one-dimensional numerical analysis and experiment at different helium gas mass flows.
