Superconducting cable provided with enhanced cooling ability

Abstract

Provided is a superconducting cable provided with an enhanced cooling ability, the superconducting cable including a core including a superconducting wire rod; an inner sheath surrounding the core; an outer sheath surrounding the inner sheath; a plurality of communication pipes that have both ends communicating with the inner and outer sheaths, and are mounted in the longitudinal direction of the inner and outer sheaths; a plurality of valves that are mounted in the communication pipes; and a plurality of auxiliary cooling systems that are mounted on some of the communication pipes. Cooling fluid supplied from the cooling systems is supplied into the inner sheath through the communication pipes, and is then discharged to the outside through the valves.
