Description

The Large Coil Task (LCT), an international project of technology development under the auspices of the IEA, has been performed to develop large superconducting toroidal coils for tokamaks. Domestic single coil tests of the pool-boiling cooled Japanese coil and of the forced-flow cooled Euratom coil were carried out successfully in 1982 and in 1984, respectively. These two LCT coils are the first to compare experimentally the characteristics of pool-boiling and forced-flow cooled large coils for a tokamak. Major results obtained in the two domestic tests are described to compare the two designs. (author)
