1 8-O-2B-5 Applied superconductivity group Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen B.Dutoit, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland T. Rubeli, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Zürich, Switzerland I. Martynova, A. Makarevich, A. Molodyk, S. Samoilenkov SuperOx, 20-2 Nauchnyi proezd, Moscow, , Russia ICEC 26-ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

2 Outline Inhomogeneity => need of stability Experimental setup
Comparison between adiabatic and real case Effect of thermal insulation Re-cooling speed Conclusions EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

3 CC are inhomogeneous Critical current distribution over conductor length A reduction of this inhomogeneity would imply higher fabrication costs Stabilization of the weakest points is mandatory EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

4 This present a risk for low fault currents
Temperature of the weakest point of a RSFCL made of inhomogeneous tape at the end of the limitation phase No problem for a « perfect fault » Problems may occur at « high impedance fault » Solutions: Higher stabilization Higher length, higher cost Optimized cooling Study experimentally the cooling for these specific conditions EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

5 R(T) calibration To measure heat exchange near 77 K we choosed a normal tape First for this experiment superconductivity was destroyed By heating up the sample over 500°C for 2 hours Precisely measure resistance as a function of temperature The tape itself will be our “thermometer” EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

6 Energy balance E brought in by the fault = E stored in the tape + E exchanged to the bath Measuring V(t), I(t), give us electrical resistance R(t) Knowing R(T) give us temperature T Energy exchanged to the bath is the difference between the 2 firsts terms. EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

7 Schematic of the experiment
Pulse sent over a voltage to current converter Acquire I(t), V(t) @ 500 ks/s, 18bits Sample protection by a voltage threshold EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

8 4 wires setup SuperOx provides insulated samples with different insulation thicknesses Measured with 0 µm, 10 µm, 15 µm, 25µm, 35 µm, and 65 µm of Kapton® insulation Sample surrounded by LN2 EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

9 Measurement Pulses of various amplitudes and durations
3kHz sine modulation added to pulse signal 3 different cooling regimes present in this example R(t) is Over a few periods (2-5) In phase signal is used Then R(t) is converted to T(t) with calibration data EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

10 Adiabatic compared to real conditions
Resistance measurement converted into temperature values Classical adiabatic calculation lead to very high temperature Real conditions in the experiment shown below show a quasistatic state With continuous modulation, re-cooling can be measured too EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

11 Generated, stored and cooling power
At constant current the power increase due to resistance increase Power stored in the tape during heating phase Equilibrium at quasistatic phase Cooling after the pulse EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

12 Quasistatic thermal equilibrium
Same tape, same pulse amplitude , same pulse duration Bare tape: unstable, not shown here 10 µm insulation: ~ 85 K 15 µm : ~ 88 K 25 µm : ~ 93 K 35 µm : ~ 102 K 65 µm : ~ 110 K EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

13 Thermal insulation effect
Temperature plateau as a function of current Bare tape: unstable from 22 A 10 µm insulation: stable 15 µm : stable 25 µm : stable 35 µm : stable 65 µm : stable EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

14 Re-cooling speed Curves fitted with an exp decay law
Damping factor τ measured Bare 0.49 s 0.09 s 0.28 s 0.66 s EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

15 Damping factors All curves start with a low damping factor (between 1 and 2 s-1) corresponding to conduction cooling. All insulated wires show high damping factors; meaning an excellent recooling through nucleate boiling. Higher insulation thickness induces lower cooling speed. Small thicknesses (0- 15 µm) reach film boiling with low damping factor again at relatively low ΔT Wires with 20 and 35 µm are stable in nucleate boiling up to a higher ΔT. EPFL Applied Superconductivity Group, ICEC26 – ICMC 2016, Delhi, March 8th 2016

16 Conclusions The goal is the best stabilization of inhomogeneous tapes
Measured heat exchange of a non superconducting tape to the bath Using a 3 kHz sine modulation added to the pulse signal Very important difference compared to adiabatic conditions Tuned thermal insulation can enhance stabilization Thanks for your attention !
