REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR SUPERCONDUCTING DEVICES

摘要

A system for cooling one or more discrete superconducting devices (21, 22, 23) wherein a primary refrigerator (1) subcools cryogenic liquid for desubcooling in the devices (21, 22, 23) and subsequently resubcools this liquid in a recirculation loop (27, 28, 29), and additional cryogenic liquid is maintained in a subcooled condition within a reserve storage container (2) by diversion of some of the refrigeration generated by the primary refrigerator (1) into the reserve storage container (2).
