  • SUPPLEMENTAL COOLING SYSTEM FOR SUPERCONDUCTING ELECTRICAL MACHINE
    Publication number: 20260058536
    Abstract: A superconducting electrical system includes a superconducting electrical machine comprising a superconducting magnet, a main cryogenic vessel containing a main cryogen and encompassing the superconducting magnet, and a vacuum vessel encompassing the main cryogenic vessel. A supplemental cooling system is inside the vacuum vessel and comprises a supplemental heat sink and. a gas gap heat switch configured to alternately thermally connect the supplemental heat sink to a component of the superconducting electrical machine and thermally isolate the supplemental heat sink from the component of the superconducting electrical machine. The supplemental cooling system is configured to supplement cooling of the superconducting electrical machine by the main cryogenic vessel to expedite cooling of the component of the superconducting electrical machine.

  • A COOLING SYSTEM FOR SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS
    Publication number: 20070101742
    Abstract: A cooling system is in thermal contact with a magnet and provides cooling thereto. A storage tank is fluidly connected to the cooling system to store gas released by the cooling system. The stored gas may then be released back into the cooling system when needed.
