INFLUENCE OF SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET WINDING STRUCTURE ON CONDUCTOR CRYOSTABILITY

The influence of the volume of the superconducting winding interlayer space and the structure of the insulation coating upon the conductor r ecovery current value I-r has been investigated experimentally. An ana lysis of the optimum conductor insulation coating was performed, consi dering different forms of an organic fibre net. The optimum thickness and cell dimension of the net were chosen based on the I-r measurement s. It has been shown that the optimal volume of interlayer cooling cha nnels increases the conductor cryostability, and creation of additiona l gaps of approximate to 200 mu m in the winding spacers is able to in tensify the heat transfer.
