Abstract
A lightweight, multilayer cryogenic insulator is formed by successive layers of low-emissivity sheeting and high elastic modulus mesh, the latter which provide thermal separation of the sheets while resisting high hoop stresses.
Claims16
A superconducting machine comprising:
- a stator;
- and
- a rotor having a central shaft rotatably mounted with respect to the stator to allow the rotor to rotate about a shaft axis with respect to a stator, wherein the rotor includes:
- a set of superconducting windings positioned on the rotor shell;
- and
- a heatshield surrounding the superconducting windings formed of alternate layers of a low emissivity sheet material and an open mesh material, the open mesh material having an elastic modulus at least 10 times that of the low-emissivity sheet material.
