In this paper we present the results of manufacturing and tests of prototype cryostat for micro-SMES. The prototype cryostat with HTS current leads and refrigerator had been designed and manufactured for micro-SMES. The cryostat had been tested the helium boil-off and mechanical stress during transfer and vibration test. These results will be applied to micro-SMES cryostat.

Termination cryostat for 22.9kV, 1.26kA-class HTS power cable has been designed. The cryostat consists of vacuum vessel, liquid nitrogen vessel, current lead and HTS power cable. The current lead and the HTS power cable are connected in liquid nitrogen vessel cooled by forced-circulation subcooled liquid nitrogen. The maximum total heat load of this cryostat is expected to be 150w. In this paper, the detailed design of the termination cryostat is mentioned.

The cryostat is designed for the superconducting quadrupole magnets to be used in a heavy-ion accelerator facility. The main accelerator is superconducting linac, which can accelerate a $^{238}U$ beam to 200 MeV/u (Mega electron voltage per nucleon). The cryostat for the magnet employs an innovative design primarily driven by the requirement of the compactness, user-friendliness and reliability. Also, several ancillary requirements such as background field, space restriction due to the beam line and cryostat structure need technical attentions. The development of the cryostat for three quadrupole magnets in the in-flight fragmentation separator is presented in the paper. The concept of cryogenic design is reported and the amount of cryogenic load is estimated by a relevant analysis. The structure of the cryostat to endure the heavy iron yoke including three quadrupole magnets is presented. In addition, the design as well as the performance test of the support link for the cold mass is described.

KSTAR cryostat is a 8.8 m diameter vacuum vessel that provides the necessary thermal barrier between the ambient temperature test cell and the supercritical helium cooled superconducting magnet providing the base pressure of 1 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}Pa$. The cryostat is a single walled vessel consisting of central cylindrical section and two end closures, a flat base structure with external reinforcements and a dome-shaped lid structure. The base structure has 8 equally spaced support legs anchored on the concrete base. The cryostat vessel design was executed to satisfy the performance and operation requirements. The major loads considered in the structural analysis were vacuum pressure, dead weight, electromagnetic load driven by plasma disruption, and seismic load. Based on the fabrication and inspection procedures for the vessel, cryostat vessel was fabricated and inspected. It was confirmed that the inspection results were acceptable.

The object of this study is to find the optimal insulation design conditions of a HTS power cable cryostat. The optimum condition of a cable cryostat is obtained by varying types of MLIs, cable core weights, spacer diameters, winding pitches and MLI layer numbers. As the weight of cable core is increased, conduction heat transfer from surroundings to cable cryostat is increased. But as the spacer pitch is increased from 120 mm to 200 mm, the heat leak of cable cryostat remains almost constant. The optimal number of MLI layers is suggested. Double ply MLI is more effective than triple ply MLI and the insulation effect is best when the number of MLI layers is 36.

The bath cryostat of cryogenic apparatuses which are generally used to study physical phenomena under low temperature and ultra low temperature has been desigened and constructed. The practical use of the cryostat is verified by the measurement of the storage life of liquid heloum and liquid nitrogen vessels. The cryostat consists of triple structure of high vacuum environment in order to minimize the evaporation rate of liquid helium and liquid nitrogen by thermal conductivity and radiant heat. The minimum thickness which can stand against inner and outer pressures is calculated from considering the strength of the material.

The design of thermal radiation shield cooled by a cryocooler is presented. This study is motivated mainly by our recent development of prototype superconducting magnet system for the Cyclotron K120. The superconducting magnet system is composed of the magnet cryostat, transfer line and supply cryostat. In order to minimize thermal radiation load, the superconducting coil form in the magnet cryostat is enclosed by the thermal radiation shield which is thermally connected to the first-stage cold head of a two-stage cryocooler in the supply cryostat. Since the supply cryostat is located far from the magnet cryostat large temperature gradient along the thermal shield is unavoidable. In this paper, the thermal radiation shield is optimized to minimize temperature gradient with taking into account the cryogenic load, system structure and electrical load. The effect of heat source from thermal conduction through mechanical supports on the temperature distribution of thermal radiation shield is also discussed.
