In the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the CRPP Villigen have designed and built a 70 kA current lead for the ITER TF Coils using High Temperature Superconductors (HTS). At the beginning of 2004 the HTS current lead was installed and tested in the TOSKA facility of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. The scope of the experiment was to characterize the current lead in steady state conditions and to explore the operation limits as well. For this, the temperature profile, the contact resistances, the heat load at 4.5 K, the required 50 K He mass flow rate, and the temperature margin were evaluated. The safety margin in case of a loss of He mass flow was studied, too. The paper describes the experimental results as well as the thermal and electrical models developed.Index Terms-Current leads, fusion magnets, high temperature superconductor.
The continuous arterial blood gas sensor is capable of clinically accurate blood gas measurements. This technology provides the clinician with immediate data that can allow rapid interventions in unstable patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
