In order to measure the superconducting transition temperature, the critical current and the alternating current(AC) loss on short samples of high temperature superconductor, a cryocooler cooled cryostat has been designed and built. Two closed-cycle coolers provide cooling with an ultimate sample temperature below 16K. Temperature regulation is provided by 50W of electrical heater that opposes the cooling power from the cold heads. Temperature control feedback is by means of a cernox temperature sensor co-located with the heaters on the second stage of the cold head. Additional temperature sensors are located on the sample mount(B1), on the CVI cold head(B2) and on the Dakin cold head(B3). AC losses on the sample high temperature superconductor were measured at 30K so that the developed device performance was evaluated. In this paper, the design, fabrication and test results on the cryocooler cooled cryostat are presented.

The method to fabricate the cryostat of superconducting cable is extrusion type which is used Aluminum ingot under high temperature such as 45$0^{\circ}C$ and the cryostat is formed above cable core and MLI layer. In this case, it is expected to occur thermal injury in cable core and MLI layer, so it is necessary to study to prevent thermal injury. So in this paper, using simulation on radiation and convection which are accompany with fabricating cryostat, it is suggested to reduce the thermal injury. By measuring simulation temperature and real temperature, it is possible to check the temperature on cable core and MLI layer and using these temperature, it is possible to predict whether thermal injury is occurred or not on cable core and MLI layer.

A superconducting 2 tesla MRI magnet for the animal magnetic resonance imaging has been developed as a basic model for the application of the precise supercoducting magnet technology. MRI cryostat with 210mm room temperature bore was designed and manufactured for this magnet. The cryostat was designed basically not only to extract the principal design parameters at the performance test but also for the convenience of the manufacturing. The most extinct feacture of the cryostat is that it does not have $LN_{2}$ tank and the 77K thermal shield is cooled by circuling $LN_{2}$ through copper pipe which is welded around the shield plate. It results in reduction of the total cryostat size(about 30%).

The model of terminal cryostat for HTS power cable is conceptually designed. In this paper we defined that heat loads of the terminal cryostat was only cooled by the liquid nitrogen without cooling gas. Total heat loss calculated by analytical and numerical methods are 46.4W at 0A and 69W at 1260A for the 3-Phase HTS power cable system of 50MW, 22.9kV.

KSTAR cryostat is a large vacuum vessel that provides the necessary thermal barrier between the ambient temperature test cell and the liquid helium cooled magnets. In this work, the structural analyses for the cryostat under the normal operation condition were performed. As a result, it turns out that the vessel would be safe when it is exposed to normal operation loads, such as system weight, vacuum pressure, and plasma vertical disruption load. And, the preliminary result on the modal analysis is presented.

KSTAR coils use super-conducting magnet systems. These coils operate around 4.5K and therefore require a thermal shield to reduce the heat load from outer cryostat. 80K thermal shields must be cooled by a forced flow of He gas at 20 bars without the pressure drop of 0.45 bar. Designed thermal shield shows that the pressure drop is lower than that of 0.5 bar.

In this study, the experimental study based on calorimetry for terminal cryostat has been performed and evaluated. The experiments performed here were divided into two types, those are test without and with current lead. The former is intended for the evaluation of feasibility and precision of our calorimetry, the later for the application to terminal cryostat of our study. As a result, it was found that the calorimetry performed in this study could predict well the heat transfer rate into the terminal cryostat.

The cryogenic cooling load from the top plate of cryostat to liquid helium surface, including wall conduction, thermal radiation and current leads, is investigated in a closed cryostat system for superconducting magnet. In general methods of load estimation, individual load is calculated separately, however they are actually coupled each other because of natural convection of helium vapor. Using relevant heat transfer analysis, we calculate cryogenic load with taking into account the effect of natural convection. Cryogenic load is under-estimated approximately 1% when the natural convection is ignored. The difference between actual cooling load and cooling load by individual calculation increases with supplying current.

The selection of the temperature sensor in the cryogenic system depends on the temperature range, shape and accuracy. The accuracy of the temperature sensor is essential to improve the reliability of experiment. We have developed the variable temperature cryostat using a two-stage cryocooler. In order to reduce heat load, thermal shield is installed at the first stage with MLI (Multiple layer insulation). We have also developed the sensor holder calibrating more than twenty sensors at the same time for saving time and money. The system can calibrate sensor at variable temperature by controlling electric heater. In this paper, we present design and fabrication of variable temperature cryostat and representative result of Cernox sensor calibration.
