Description
Oral presentation (20 min) + Q&A (10 min)
A test facility has been developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut to test cryocooler-based LTS and HTS magnets and develop novel cryogenic devices for their cooling. This contribution describes the experimental set-up, different tests of insulated and non-insulated HTS magnets and shows the results of the, to our knowledge, first ever cooldown and operation of an HTS coil using neon pulsating heat pipes as thermal bus with a cryocooler.
