    Superconducting bearings are used in a number of applications for high speed, low loss suspension. Most of these applications have a warm shaft and require continuous cooling, which leads to additional power consumption.
    Therefore, it seems advantageous to use these bearings in systems that are inherently cold. One respective application is a submerged pump for the transfer of liquid helium...

    Contributed Oral Presentation

    Oil contamination is a re-occurring issue in cryogenic helium applications resulting in reduced performance and eventually the need for thorough cleaning of the coldbox internals. Main sources are the oil-injected recycle gas screw compressors. Although the systems are equipped with oil removal systems, mal-operation, improper design, and particularly the carry-over of the residual content of...
