Summary

A thermally inferior suspension system can nullify the effect of using high performance thermal insulation. The paper describes a new design of support system in which the central suspension rod is under tensile stress while the concentric tubular support is subjected to compressive stress due to acceleration loads. The design not only provides a long thermal conduction path, but also eliminates thermal contraction stresses, while allowing marginal assembly misalignments.
