One of the most critical factors for successful development of any superconducting device is the cryogeniccooling technology. Based upon the availability of cooling media, system configurations and existing coolingtechnologies, the approach to HTS cooling can be categorized into three large classes: batch cooling, liquid cooling,and conduction cooling. There are two approaches to liquid cooling, natural convection and pump circulation,depending upon whether the circulation pump is employed or not. The cooling using a cryocooler is also an attractiveoption, allowing lower operating temperature thereby providing improved current capacity in any type of conductor. Butthere is no back -up cooling in a conduction cooling system if a cryocooler stops suddenly, on the other hand, liquidcryogen can be used for back -up cooling in a liquid cooling system and secondly, the heat transfer is poor in conductioncooling system because of the difficulty in thermal contact between the magnets and a cryocooler.
