Spacer means for a superconductive electrical cable

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4398010
An electrical cable is described which includes an electrical superconductor immersed in liquid coolant. The cable includes inner and outer tubular conduits with the inner conduit enclosing the electrical superconductor and the liquid coolant. At least two support elements are positioned between the conduits to provide support for the adjacent region of the inner conduit to maintain it in spaced coaxial relation within the outer conduit. Each support element includes a slender arch-shaped member having axially spaced first and second ends and an apex intermediate the ends spaced radially therefrom. The ends of each support element are fixedly connected with one of the conduits and a sliding connection is provided between its apex and the other of the conduits. At least one annular strut connects the support elements so that they are braced together. (auth)
