Abstract

PURPOSE:To promote the propagation of a normal conductive section by sealing an upper space by closing a remote control valve mounted to the upper section of a superconducting coil at the time of quenching, pushing down the level of liquid helium by vaporized helium gas and elevating the temperature of the superconducting coil. CONSTITUTION:When a superconducting coil 1 begins to be quenched, the quenching is detected, and a remote control valve 14 is closed instantaneously. Liquid helium gradually vaporizes by the heat generation of a normal conductive transfer section generated in the superconducting coil 1, but the level of liquid helium 16 is pushed up by the vaporized gas because the outlet of a flow path is closed by the remote control valve 14, and a gas space in a partition wall 5 is expanded. Consequently, the temperature of the superconducting coil 1 is elevated, and a normal conductive region is spread quickly. Accordingly, the propagation speed of the normal conductive transfer section at the time of quenching is increased, and the localization of the energy of the superconducting coil is prevented, thus improving safety.

That is, in the former case, when the superconducting coil is quenched, the superconducting coil and the liquid helium storage tank are separated so that the evaporation loss of the liquid helium cooling the superconducting coil is suppressed. On the other hand, the latter covers the surroundings of the superconducting coil and reduces the vaporization rate of liquid helium in order to reduce the pressure increase in the helium container due to quenching.

In the superconducting coil, the normal transition portion generated during quenching is
It propagates according to the cooling conditions with liquid helium. In particular, a superconducting coil having high stability generally has a low coil current density and good cooling conditions for liquid helium, so that the normal conduction transition portion has a low propagation speed. As a result, only the normal-conducting transition portion is remarkably locally heated, which may burn the superconducting coil. On the other hand, even in a superconducting coil in which the propagation speed of the normal conduction transition portion is relatively high, the same problem may occur depending on the coil design conditions. That is, for example, when the coil inductance is larger than the stored energy of the superconducting coil and the cross-sectional area of the conductor and the stabilizing material is small, local superconducting transition phenomenon occurs. There is a fear.

FIG. 1 shows the main structure of an embodiment of the superconducting device of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a superconducting coil, and this superconducting coil 1 is housed in a constant temperature tank (refrigerant container) 2 which also serves as a storage tank for liquid helium 3.
On the outer circumference of the superconducting coil 1, a partition wall 5 having a communication port 4 at the bottom is installed. The partition wall 5 is made of a heat insulating material such as non-magnetic steel or fiber reinforced resin, or a double wall having a vacuum chamber inside. The thermostatic chamber 2 is provided with a pipe 6 for supplying liquid helium from the outside and a pipe 7 for discharging the vaporized helium gas to the atmosphere or collecting it in a refrigerator system (not shown).

Next, the operation of this apparatus will be described. During normal operation when the superconducting coil 1 is not quenched, the remote control valve 14 is open and the flow control valve 11 discharges a predetermined amount of gas. At this time, since the pressures of the gas discharge pipe 8 and the gas discharge pipe 13 become equal in principle, the partition wall 5
The liquid level of the liquid helium 19 inside is kept at substantially the same level as the liquid level of the liquid helium 3 outside the partition wall 5, and the superconducting coil 1 is sufficiently cooled. Now for some reason,
When the superconducting coil 1 starts quenching, this is detected and the remote control valve 14 is immediately closed. Superconducting coil 1
The liquid helium gradually evaporates due to the heat generated in the normal conduction transition portion generated in the liquid helium, but since the outlet of the flow passage is blocked by the remote control valve 14, the liquid helium 19 is liquified by the vaporized gas. The surface is pushed down to widen the gas space in the partition wall 5. As a result, the temperature of the superconducting coil 1 is increased, and as a result, the normal-conducting region generated inside the superconducting coil 1 is rapidly expanded due to a decrease in cooling capacity and an increase in temperature. As a result of the above-mentioned operation, or the repetition thereof, a predetermined purpose, that is, positive / forced promotion of the normal-conduction transition region, is achieved. When the pressure inside the constant temperature bath 2 rises above a predetermined value, the safety device 9 operates to release the helium gas to the outside. The flow control valve 11 is closed while the safety device 9 is operating. Liquid helium in the partition 5
The transition state of 9 to the gas phase is detected by the signal of the liquid helium level sensor 17.

It is possible to move from this opening to the liquid helium part 3 outside the partition wall 5, and the operation is performed without any trouble. When the superconducting coil 1 starts to quench, the low temperature valve 20 is immediately closed. Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the upper portion is in a sealed state, so that the evaporated helium gas is liquid helium 1
The liquid surface of 9 is pushed down, the temperature of the superconducting coil 1 is raised as a result, and the normal conducting region is rapidly expanded due to the decrease in cooling capacity and the increase in temperature.

In the present embodiment shown in the figure, a degassing device 25 is attached to a gas discharge pipe 8 and a pipe branched from the gas discharge pipe 8 through a remote control valve 24 that operates in conjunction with the remote control valve 14. .. When the superconducting coil 1 starts to quench, the remote control valve 14 is closed, and in conjunction with this, the remote control valve 24 is opened to degas (exhaust) the gas in the upper helium gas space outside the partition wall 5. Thereby, the partition wall 5
The liquid level of the liquid helium 3 outside rises and the liquid level of the liquid helium 19 inside the partition wall 5 falls, and as a result, the propagation speed of the coil normal conduction transition portion is accelerated.
