Cryogenic Aspects of the UTSI-CFFF Superconducting Dipole Magnet for MHD Research

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 35 A))

Abstract

The Argonne National Laboratory, under the sponsorship of the Fossil Energy Division of the U. S. Department of Energy, has designed and is constructing a 6-T, 0.8-m minimum warm bore superconducting dipole magnet system for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) research. The system will be installed and operated at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) Coal Fired Fuel Facility (CFFF). The system will consist of a coil assembly contained in a liquid helium cryostat, a helium refrigerator/liquefier system, and controls and instrumentation for cooldown and steady-state operation[1–4]

Work supported by the U. S. Department of Energy.
