Summary

HELIUM II UNDER PRESSURES FROM 1 ATMOSPHERE TO SATURATED VAPOUR PRESSURE AND CONSTANT BATH TEMPERATURE WAS INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLECOOLANT FOR SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS. THE COOLING STRENGTH IS DESCRIBED IN TERMS OF A CRITICAL FREQUENCY, F, AT WHICH THE PEAK TRANSPORT CURRENTS CORRESPONDING TO SUCCESSIVE CONSTANT VOLTAGE PULSES DECREASE ABRUPTLY DUE TO A BREAKDOWN OF SUPERFLUIDITY. MAXIMUM F WAS FOUND WITH A HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE HEAD OF ABOUT 2 M. THIS ALLOWS THE USE OF ORDINARY CRYOSTATS WHILE RETAINING THE EFFICIENCY OF SATURATED HELIUM II SYSTEMS.
