Oral

Historically and even today for selected applications, superconducting coils have been cooled by liquid helium pool cooling. The technical viability and business case in magnets and power applications has been widely influenced by the operating conditions and the available cooling devices. HTS have simplified cryogenic measures and considerably extended the devices’ suitable power range. For...
