High
Temperature Superconducting Magnet System
In 2004, Cryomagnetics completed and successfully tested
a 3.57 Tesla superconducting magnet system using
BSCCO-2223 high
temperature superconducting tape.
The magnet operates at
approximately 37 Kelvin. The room
temperature bore is 3.50 inches. The
completed system has never
experienced a quench and has been
tested up to the limit of the 125
ampere power supply.
This system is being used with a
gyrotron tube, so a complex
magnetic field shape was required.
New winding hardware and
techniques had to be developed to
insure the success of this project.
In 2005, Cryomagnetics constructed the first stacked
pancake coil wound with long lengths of YBCO high
temperature superconductor. This project was in
conjunction with the Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
Today, an active program of HTS development is in place.
New techniques for construction are being developed to
insure long term reliability.
The success of these projects and our commitment to
on-going research places
Cryomagnetics at the forefront of this new technology.
As high temperature superconducting tape becomes more
affordable and
the technology matures, Cryomagnetics’ groundbreaking
experience will allow customers to take advantage of
higher field and
larger bore systems.
