Experimental set-up of heat transfer measurements in helium II.

Summary

Superconducting magnets and cavities can be cryostated with superfluid helium under saturation or elevated pressure. To optimize heat transfer processes through electrical Rutherford superconducting cable insulation, a dedicated helium II cryostat has been designed, manufactured and commissioned. The cryostat enables reproduction of vast range of the helium thermodynamic states, including pressurization up to 6 bars of the superfluid helium. The cryostat construction, instrumentation and external equipment including vacuum pumping system are described. The paper also presents experimental results obtained during the cool-down of the cryostat.
