Under pulsed operation, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) fusion devices undergo repeated cycles of heating/cooling and energizing/de-energizing. To evaluate the thermal cycling lifespan and ultimate performance of HTS magnets, Startorus Fusion has developed an automated, cyclic temperature control testing system: the Pyro-Cryo Cycler (PCC). This intelligent testing platform is designed for HTS magnet performance research. It can perform multiple rounds of fatigue and current-carrying tests on coils automatically and unattended, across a temperature range from liquid nitrogen to room temperature. This enables highly efficient, long-duration testing with comprehensive parameter monitoring.
