Heat pipes for enhanced cooldown of cryogenic systems.

Summary

The Advanced Lightweight Influence Sweep System (ALISS) employs a large, conductively cooled, superconducting magnet that must be cooled from 300 to 4.2 K. Cryogenic heat pipes acting as cryocooler thermal shunts are being proposed to shorten the cooldown time. Ethane, nitrogen and oxygen are being evaluated as possible working fluids. A thermal model of the ALISS was developed to evaluate the cooldown performance of various heat pipe combinations.
