Abstract:The thermal link between the second stage of cryocooler and
the superconducting magnet has a significant influence on the
initial cooldown time of conduction-cooled superconducting
magnet. In this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out on
the initial cooldown characteristics of a superconducting magnet
system used flexible copper strap as the thermal link. The optimal
shape ratio (cross-sectional area to length) of the copper strap is
obtained to minimize the cooldown time. The results s… Show more
