Abstract

Schemes are described for conductor and coolant placement in stacked-plate superconducting magnets, including arranging coolant channels and conducting channels within the plates on opposing faces. If the two types of channels are aligned with one another across the plate stacks, the plates may be stacked such that the cooling channel in one plate is adjacent to the conducting channel of the neighboring plate. By stacking a number of these plates, therefore, cooling may be supplied to each conducting channel through the cooling channels of each neighboring plate. Moreover, by aligning the two types of channels, the stacks of plates may have improved mechanical strength because mechanical load paths through the entire stack that do not pass through any of the channels may be created. This arrangement of channels may produce a very strong stack of plates that can withstand high Lorentz loads.

Claims (42)

1 . A magnet comprising:

a plurality of plates arranged in a stack that includes a first plate and a second plate,

the first plate comprising:

a conducting channel on a first side of the first plate, at least part of the conducting channel being arranged in a spiral path, the conducting channel comprising a high temperature superconductor (HTS) material and a conductive material; and

a first plurality of cooling channels on a second side of the first plate, the second side opposing the first side; and

the second plate comprising a second plurality of cooling channels,

wherein the first and second plates are arranged next to one another in the stack such that the second plurality of cooling channels are adjacent to the conductive material in the conducting channel of the first plate.

2 . The magnet of claim 1 , wherein the conductive material is arranged over the HTS material.

3 . The magnet of claim 2 , wherein the conductive material arranged over the HTS material has an upper surface that is flush with the first side of the first plate.

4 . The magnet of claim 1 , wherein at least part of each of the first plurality of cooling channels is aligned with the spiral path of the at least part of the conducting channel.

5 . The magnet of claim 1 , further comprising at least one bolt coupling the first plate to the second plate.

6 . The magnet of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of instances of the first plate and a plurality of instances of the second plate arranged in the stack, wherein the plurality of the plates in the stack alternate between the instances of the first plate and the instances of the second plate.
