Parametric study for the cooling of high temperature superconductor (HTS) current leads

Rainer Wesche

The analysis of cooling of a binary HTS 20 kA current lead (CL) operating between 4.5 and 300 K has been carried out. Assuming that the HTS module is conduction-cooled, two cooling options for the copper heat exchanger (HEX) part of the CL have been consid ...
