Abstract

The design of a HTS cryogen-free solenoid for a gyrotron magnet upgrade is presented. This gyrotron is used to set up and warm the plasma in an experimental fusion device at Ciemat. The solenoid will be wound with BISCCO-2223 tapes. A two stage Gifford-McMahon cryocooler will be used to cool down the magnet. A significant operation cost will be saved as the present solenoid is a Nb-Ti magnet cooled down in a helium bath supplied with mobile tanks. The main requirement of the magnet is to reproduce the original magnetic profile in the axis of the solenoid with a peak of 2 T in a 150 mm diameter warm bore. The magnet consists of several stacked double-pancake coils. The outer radii, the axial positions and the number of windings have been optimized by means of a genetic algorithm. Afterwards, the cryostat design is also described, including the heat leakage calculation. Finally, the winding techniques and the results of the tests of a prototype coil are also reported in this paper.
