JT-60SA Station

Context

Trials on current intensity, insulation voltage, mechanical stress, pressure drop and temperature for large magnets (oblong cryostat, l ≤ 10 m, w ≤ 6.5 m, h ≤ 2 m) cooled with supercritical forced helium flow (5 K ≤ T ≤ 7.5 K).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technical means

  • Power supply I < 26 000 A,
  • Dedicated Magnet Safety System and Magnet Control System,
  • Oblong cryostat (length l = 10 m, width w = 6.5m, hauteur utile h = 2 m),
  • Dedicated refrigerator: 490 W at 4.2 K + 3.6 g/s from 50 K to 300 K,
  • Data acquisition up to 500 Hz for cryogenic sensors and up to 50 kHz for voltage measurements.  

Additional facility:

The station is located under a crane (m ≤ 32 t).
