World’s Largest Superconducting Magnet Test Facility Now Operational at ITER

The ITER Organization recently announced the start of operations at its Magnet Cold Test Facility following the successful cooldown of the first magnet coil to 4 Kelvin (K), or minus 269 °C. The facility will allow ITER to test selected superconducting magnets at their operating temperature of 4 K and up to full current before installation in the machine. […]

Surging Data Centers Drive Reliance on Magnetic Technology for Cooling 

As AI adoption and cloud computing drive rapid expansion of data centers, managing the growing heat load in cavernous buildings stuffed with electronics is driving fresh reliance on the use of magnetic technology for cooling the sensitive equipment. Examples are plainly evident at recent data center events, HVAC shows, new product developments – and recent orders from data center operators. More powerful and reliable HVAC systems are being designed with compressors having oil-free active magnetic bearings, while embedded in the server racks liquid immersion cooling systems using sealless mag-drive pumps are bringing a new paradigm to data center cooling.  […]
