Abstract: | The large helical device (LHD) has been operated since 1998 and the 13th experimental campaign was conducted in 2009. Before final assembling, cool-down and excitation tests for the Inner Vertical (IV) field coil, which is one of the LHD poloidal field coils, were carried out in 1995. This coil, which consists of a cable-in-conduit conductor, (CICC) is cooled by the forced-flow of supercritical helium. During the tests of the IV coil, hydraulic characteristics, such as flow distribution among cooling channels and friction factors, were measured. In this paper, the consistency of the behavior of the IV coil will be presented and comparison with other fusion devices using superconducting coils will also be made at not only cryogenic temperatures but also at room temperature. |
