Abstract
A superconducting cable cooling system, wherein coolant continually provides cooling to superconducting cable, comprising a plurality of nodes within a superconducting cable network and a plurality of legs of superconducting cable which interconnect each of the nodes of the superconducting cable network.
Claims8
Apparatus for providing cooling to superconducting cable comprising legs of the superconducting cable connected by nodes arranged in a superconducting cable network such that a coolant used in cooling the superconducting cable flows solely in the legs of the superconducting cable between the nodes and each of the nodes has at least three connections to other of the nodes by way of the legs of the superconducting cable such that when one of the legs of the superconducting cable is removed from service, coolant will circulate to remaining legs of the superconducting cable in the superconducting cable network, and means for circulating the coolant through the legs of the superconducting cable.
