Conceptual Design of CFETR CS Model Coil Structure

Abstract

In order to verify key techniques and manufacturing aspects of the central solenoid (CS) coil of the China fusion engineering test reactor (CFETR), the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) plan to develop a CS model coil. The conceptual design of the CS model coil of CFETR has been carried out by ASIPP. The CS model coil shall produce a 12-T peak field in the bore of the magnet. The maximum magnetic field change rate is 1.5 T/s. The designed operating current is 47.65 kA. The CFETR CS model coil structure design mainly includes coil winding design, buffer zone design, preload structure design, coil joints and joint supports design, and liquid helium cooling channels design. This paper presents the conceptual design of CFETR CS model coil structure based on electromagnetic design and optimization.
