8 Experimental method Sample: - 150 mm long rectangular stack made of 6 alternating cables Cable: - CuNi10 - LHC cables geometry, MB inner layer T sensors: - AuFe 0.07at% /Chromel differential thermocouples - in grooves in the central cable - installed before impregnation Heating: - Joule heating along resistive strands - steady-state - different configurations (heated cables) P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits8

9 Experimental method P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits9 Insulation: - fiber glass sleeve - vacuum impregn. resin: CTD-101 - thickness: 150 µm Cooling (transversal):- He II, 1.9 K - He I, 4.2 K Pressure: 0 MPa 1 2 3 4 5 6 QQ Instrumented cable

11 P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits11 * 3 heated cables Heat extraction from coil inner layer (cable center T)

12 P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits12 Heat extraction from coil inner layer (cable center T) * 3 heated cables

13 Quench limit estimation Heat that must be (uniformly) deposited in the cable until the cable center/edge reaches Tc: P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits 155 mW/cm 3 198 mW/cm 3 143 mW/cm 3 247 mW/cm 3 MQXF 150 mm bore (w/o µ-channels) 1.9 K constant bath T uniform heat deposit 13 127 mW/cm 3 39 188 80 mW/cm 3 106

14 Quench limit estimation Comparison tests vs. model *, independently carried out P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits Coil position (inner layer) ΔT from exp. tests (mK) ΔT from model * (mK) Difference (%) mid-plane230-4203908 cable adjacent to pole 16-586817 * previous talk from H. Allain 2.13 K 2.32 K Mid-plane and pole cable temperature for heat deposit in nominal conditions (peak of 3.78 mW/cm 3 ) 14 1.96 K 1.92 K

15 Quench limit estimation Comparison at nominal conditions in mid-plane P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits MagnetEstimated quench limit (mW/cm 3 ) Expected peak heat deposit (mW/cm 3 ) MB460.6 MQXA653.5 MQXB60 / 753.5 MQXC1044 MQXF at 1.9 K (140 T/m) 1554 MQXF at 4.2 K (80% B ss ) 1294 15

16 Conclusions Numerical model of the experimental tests Thermal measurement of a short model coil P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits16 Perspectives Heat extraction through Nb 3 Sn insulation was measured worse than through LHC Nb-Ti insulation below a ΔT of 1.8 K (in the cable center), since the He II contribution is missing better than through Enhanced Nb-Ti insulation above a ΔT of 5.7 K (in the cable center), because k Nb3Sn > K Nb-Ti 3.7 K 6.4 K scaled to magnet geometry  to be confirmed by a dedicated test Heat extraction from the cable allows a first estimate of the quench limit: MQXF mid-plane cable is the most critical: 155 mW/cm 3, vs. 4 mW/cm 3 expected MQXF-MQXC will have a quench limit 2 to 3 times those of MB-MQXA-MQXB
