Abstract
A thermal switch has been developed for precooling a superconducting magnet with a cryocooler[1,2] The switch is essentially a heat pipe [3],which provides a high heat transfer rate when the working gas is being liquefied and acts as an insulator when the dewar for the magnet is filled with liquid helium. Configuration and performance of the switch are described herein.
