Current lead cooling method involves circulating low temp. gas in first cooling circuit to directly cool current leads or load, and cooling gas by circulating second coolant in second circuit

摘要

The method involves passing a low temperature gas as a coolant round a first cooling circuit to directly cool the current leads (18) or the load (17). The gas flow is directly opposite to the thermal input flow along the current leads. The first coolant is cooled by a second coolant passing round a second cooling circuit. The second coolant is a mixture containing nitrogen, methane, ethane and propane. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for cooling current leads or loads.
