Abstract:
The invention is intended for incorporation into an enclosure confining fluid about an electromagnet of the type having a core, at least one coil disposed about the core and a current source coupled to the coil to establish a magnetic field. According to the invention, at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the enclosure surrounding the core axis resides in non-parallel relationship with the axis of the core. As a result, a part of the peripheral wall portion is in closer proximity to the wire coil than the remainder of the wall portion. As a result, the heat readily conducts through the wall portion and is dissipated efficiently. The surface exposed to the atmosphere with the above construction has a greater area than would a planar wall parallel to the core axis so that heat dissipation is enhanced.
