Note: A simple model for thermal management in solenoids

Abstract: We describe a model of the dynamical temperature evolution in a solenoid winding. A simple finite element analysis is calibrated by accurately measuring the thermally induced resistance change of the solenoid, thus obviating the need for accurate knowledge of the mean thermal conductivity of the windings. The model predicts quasi thermal runaway for relatively modest current increases from the normal operating conditions. We demonstrate the application of this model to determine the maximum current that can be… Show more

“…In Ref. [7], the dynamic evolution process of the coil temperature rise was evaluated through the finite difference method, assuming each element is a ring exchanging thermal with its connected layers, and the layer temperature changes under the action of this heat transfer mode. In Ref.…”

“…The coil is supplied with a sustained current to generate a magnetic field that interacts with a magnetisable armature, causing it to move in a linear motion. However, despite the low force generation resulting in minimal-size applications, the coil must still be continually activated during actuation, which results in a dramatic temperature rise [14]. If a cooling-down system is introduced, the size of the actuator would significantly increase and sealing problems may arise.…”

“…Because each layer is being heated by the adjacent layers at different rates, the temperature profile is formed. This temperature model is based off the model found in McIntosh and Ellis' model [6] with minor changes and considerations needed to be done to incorporate it for this project's use, namely the lack of solenoid section will not be present in this design.…”
