Abstract
There is provided a forced-cooled superconductor including a conduit and a plurality of superconducting strands disposed within the conduit in spaced relationship. A coolant passes through the spaces between the strands for cooling the conduit and strands. The conduit and strands are further cooled by means of an additional separate cooling channel which cooperates with the coolant for cooling the conduit and strands.
Claims5
A forced-cooled superconductor comprising:
- a conduit;
- a pack including a plurality of superconducting strands disposed in spaced relationship within said conduit, said superconducting strands defining spaces therebetween for passing coolant through the spaces for cooling said superconducting strands and said conduit;
- and
- an additional separate cooling channel in heat exchange relationship with at least one of said conduit and said pack of said plurality of superconducting strands for cooling said conduit and said pack of said plurality of superconducting strands in addition to the cooling spaces defined by said plurality of superconducting strands.
