Determination of the refrigerating capacity of cryogenic gas machines for cooling current leads containing high-temperature superconductors

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A method of calculation of current leads containing high-temperature semiconductors and cooled by cryogenic gas machines (cryocoolers) has been proposed. The method is based on subdivision of current leads into individual portions (sections) differing in the character of traversal of the current and cooling conditions. The results of the change in the required refrigerating capacity of the coolers operating at different temperature levels as a function of the length and arrangement of the sections have been shown. The distinctive features of the variation in the temperature and the heat flux along cryocooler-cooled current leads have been analyzed.
