Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ELECTRICAL LEAD REPRESENTS A MAJOR HEAT LOAD AND A MAJOR USER OF REFRIGERATION IN A SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN POSTULATED THAT HIGH CRITICAL TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTOR COULD BE USED TO REDUCE THE REFRIGERATION REQUIRED BY THE LEADS INA CONVENTIONAL SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET. SUBSTANTIAL REFRIGERATION REDUCTIONS APPEAR POSSIBLE USING SUPERCONDUCTOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH GAS COOLED LEADS PROVIDED THE GAS IS DRAWN FROM THE REFRIGERATOR AT A TEMPERATURE JUST BELOW CRITICAL TEMPERATURE.
