Description

A cryogenic test platform has been designed and conceived for the research of forced cooling of Cable in Conduit Conductor (CICC) by superfluid helium. Main research object of this platform is to obtain the hydrothermal properties of the Cable in Conduit Conductor (CICC) when it is cooled by superfluid helium forced flow. The superfluid helium flow loop and the superfluid helium acquisition system comprise the entire cryogenic test platform. Driving force of the superfluid helium flow loop comes from a Fountain Effect Pump (FEP). By decompressing and throttling 4.2K liquid helium, superfluid helium at 1.8K is obtained. Detailed parameters and mechanical structure designs of the entire platform will be presented in this paper.
