Abstract
A lightweight, multilayer cryogenic insulator is formed by successive layers of low-emissivity sheeting and a separating truss-structure operating to resist circumferential deflection of the low-emissivity sheeting.
Claims19
A superconducting machine comprising:
- a stator;
- and
- a rotor having an axially extending 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 circumferentially surrounding the superconducting windings and formed of multiple alternate layers of a low-emissivity sheet material and separating structure, the separating structure providing integrally connected circumferential top chords and circumferential bottom chords, the latter radially spaced from the circumferential top chords and interconnected to the circumferential top chords by radially extending webs to provide a set of interconnected circumferential trusses.
