Are cryoelectrotechnics the future application for cryogenics?

La cryoélectrotechnique, future application de la cryogénie ?

Author(s) : BRUNET Y.

Summary

Superconductivity applications required extreme cryogenic temperatures for a long time, but this did not prevent them from being used in the field of large research plants (magnets and accelerating cavities of the CERN, for instance), or in the industrial field (Magnetic Resonance Imaging in hospitals). Other fields, like that of electric power, are potential applications for those materials, but the restricting characteristics of cryogenics have not made it possible to change the experimental model into an industrial one. The development of the properties of superconducting materials, particularly the increase of their operating temperature, which has to make possible to use liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant, while waiting for confirmation of new outstanding developments to make it possible to work at normal temperature, has given a new impulse to the research on those materials and also their possible applications.
