Improvement in Cryogenic Stability of the Model Coil of the LHD Helical Coil by Lowering the Temperature

Helical coils of the Large Helical Device are pool-cooled superconducting magnets, in which propagation of a normal-zone has been observed several times at about 86% of the nominal current of 13.0 kA. It is planned to improve the cryogenic stability by lowering the inlet temperature. In order to estimate the effect, the cryogenic stability of a model coil of the helical coil was examined in saturated and subcooled helium. Liquid helium is supplied from the bottom of the model coil, and it is exhausted through the winding to the current-leads tank. The inlet helium is subcooled by a pre-cooler. A normal zone was initiated by a heater on the conductor at the bottom of the coil. In saturated helium of 4.4 K and 0.12 MPa, the minimum current to propagate over the next turn varies from 10.7 to 11.2 kA in the four cases that are without or with additional thermal shields, and before or after being subcooled. The difference is considered to be caused by the change of quality of saturated helium inside the winding or by the change of the wetted condition of the conductor surface. The minimum currents are higher at the lower temperatures in subcooled helium. It is raised up to 11.7 kA at 3.5 K of the temperature inside the winding. The propagation velocity at each minimum current is almost same. Namely, the propagation velocities at the same current are slower at the lower temperature in subcooled helium
