DRAFT<br />

The cryostat has a trapezoidal shape (see Figure 2.4.35, left panel). It provides all connections<br />

between the coil casing and the outside parts including cryogenic supply and current leads. The<br />

cryostat is a welded structure made from 316L or 304L stainless steel. It is equipped with two ports<br />

allowing the control and adjust the coil position during assembly. In additions there are holes on the<br />

thermal shield to control the coil casing. The total weight of the cryostat including the coils is about<br />

1730 kg. The interior volume of the cryostat for pumping is 256 litres.<br />

D) Support and current lead box<br />

Long rods support the thermal shield and the coil casing. They are based on the cryostat and are<br />

able to adjust the position of the coils if necessary (also at operating temperature). The rods are<br />

made of G10. The heat load to the 80 K thermal shield is about 0.3 W for each support, and to the<br />

4.2 K LHe about 0.1 W. Figure 2.4.35 (right panel) shows the structure of the support part. A<br />

bellow is integrated in the support to compensate the length change during coil cool down. The<br />

weight to be supported are the self weight of the coil and the mass of the thermal shielding. The coil<br />

is suspended by twelve supports connected to the cryostat. These are placed at the outer arc section<br />

of the yoke and at the middle of the straight line to compress the coil against distortion under<br />

electromagnetic forces.<br />

A current lead box will provide the interface to the local cryogenic line and the connection to the<br />

power line. When the magnet is powered, the low temperature heat-load for the LHe is about 0.4 W<br />

including the joule heat produced by the resistance of the lower joint. The liquid helium consumption<br />

of one current lead is about 1.7×10 -2 g/s. When no current passes through the current lead,<br />

the low temperature heat-load for the LHe is about 30-40 % of the above value, thus about<br />

0.11-0.15 W, and the LHe consumption of one current lead is about 5×10 -3 g/s to 6.7×10 -3 g/s.<br />
