Cryogenic skirt support post.

Author(s) : NIEMANN R. C., BUCKLES W. E., WEBER B. R.

Summary

The skirt is a cryogenic support post connected at its upper end to the cold mass and at its lower end to the cryostat vacuum vessel. The support post consists of a composite; e.g., epoxy fiberglass, cylinder with bolted or thermal interference fit end connections. The details of the design of a cryogenic skirt support post as applied to superconducting magnetic energy storage crystats are presented. Included are support post fabrication, cryostat assembly, and predicted structural and thermal performance. Fabrication of and operational experiences with a prototype support post assembly are discussed.
