Summary

TO LOWER THE ENERGY EXPENDITURE OF A CRYOSTAT SYSTEM FOR ROTORS FOR SUPERCONDUCTING TURBINE GENERATORS, A < WARM > ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELD REQUIRES LESS REFRIGERATION POWER THAN A < COLD > SHIELD. FOR THE THERMAL BRIDGE AN IDEALIZED COOLING SYSTEM COMPRISING MANY DIFFERENT COOLANT STREAMS IS COMPARED TO PRACTICAL SYSTEMS WITH ONE OR TWO COOLANT PATHS. THE ENERGY EXPENDITURE WAS ANALYSED AS A FUNCTION OF THE CO-ORDINATE OF THE POINT WHERE THE THERMAL SHIELD IS ATTACHED TO THE THERMAL BRIDGE, TEMPERATURE OF THE ESCAPING VAPOUR OF THE COOLANT, AND WORKING TEMPERATURE OF THE INDUCTOR. A SYSTEM WITH TWO-FLOW GAS COOLING OF THE THERMAL BRIDGE IS OFFERED WHERE THE THROTTLE STAGE OF THE HELIUM REFRIGERATOR IS LOCATED IN THE ROTOR.
