Abstract:
A cryogenic connection which can be formed directly on the ground on which it is to be laid includes a fluid-tight internal enclosure adapted to carry a cryogenic fluid, a metallic thermal screen surrounding the internal enclosure, a metallic external enclosure surrounding the thermal screen and suspension means for suspending the internal enclosure in the thermal screen and the thermal screen in the external enclosure.
Abstract:
A terminal apparatus for use with insulated power cable comprising a rigid housing having an elongated bore for receiving a terminal end portion of the cable, and an elastomeric sealing means at one end of the bore. The sealing means extends into the bore from said one end towards the opposite end for a distance substantially less than the length of the bore, and the remaining portion of the bore is filled with dielectric insulating fluid and a load bearing insulation system that maintains the sealing means in air-free sealing engagement between the bore and the cable regardless of service temperature variations.
