Abstract

Background

Indirect cooling method is an alternative scheme for magnetic alloy (MA)-loaded cavity because of the feasible structure and MA core treatment process. Stable and long-term operation is not possible without a powerful cooling system for the high-power MA cavity.

Purpose

The paper reports a method to evaluate the cooling efficiency of an indirect cooling structure for high-power-loss MA cavity.

Methods

Two types of helix metallic cooling plate were designed and checked by CFX code considering the average power loss more than 0.13 W/cc. In order to enhance the heat-transfer efficiency between the non-flatness surface of the MA core and metallic cooling plate, a filling material with high thermal conductivity is needed. Different commercial filling materials were investigated, and a high-power test bench was developed to assess the cooling efficiency. A parametric fitting method was adopted to qualify the heat-transfer coefficient according to the temperature rising curve.

Conclusion

The results indicate that the experimental data maintain good consistency with the CFX simulation results and the cooling structure meets the high-power-loss cooling requirement. The heat-transfer capability of the filling was influenced by the thickness of heat-transfer materials and the painting process. The heat-transfer performance of the thermal grease is better than that of the thermal gasket even though the latter has a higher thermal conductivity. The virtual thermal conductivity of the filling material was less than the product index and affirmed by the CFX transient simulation.
