During the past 15 years, the Institut f ur Technische Physik of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, has developed current leads cooled by forced-ยฏow supercritical helium in the current range from 20 to 80 kA. The design is based on a separation of the current carrying part and the heat exchan
Large superconducting apparatus are best cooled by directly coupled refrigerators. The input of high currents to the superconductors produces heat losses according to the Wiedemann-Franz law. It is well-known that the direct input losses can be reduced when the leads are precooled over their entire
A cold box, which does not have temperature expanders, designed for a forced cooling system is described. The cold box can be used to main rain superconducting magnets at 4.5 -+ 5 K for a Iong period of time. Tests on the cold box have shown that the mass flow rate of forced cooling flow is 6 + -10
Forced-cooled superconductors are viewed as a promising alternative in the development of high field superconducting magnets for future fusion devices. The high current density cabled superconductor is protected against thermal instabilities by forcing (single phase) supercritical helium through the
