The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) contains eight main dipole circuits, each of them with 154 dipole magnets powered in series. These 15-m-long magnets are wound from Nb–Ti superconducting Rutherford cables, and have active quench detection triggering heaters to quickly force the transition of the coil to the normal conducting state in case of a quench, and hence reduce the hot spot temperature. During...
A new integrated computer code is being developed for the simulations of the overall behavior of the ITER magnet cryo-system. The existing THEA, FLOWER and POWER codes, assembled as modules of a computational environment (SuperMagnet) have been upgraded to perform global simulations of the cooling circuit for the ITER magnet system. The thermal coupling resulting from the generic geometric configurations...
