Abstract:
A connection structure of formers for connecting hollow formers provided inside superconducting cables, comprising: a connection conduit which is hollow, wherein one end section and the other end section of the connection conduit are inserted into open sections leading to hollow internal sections formed at connection end sections of the respective formers, and the opposed connection end sections of the respective formers are connected to each other by welding. The connection conduit thereby ensures circulation of a refrigerant. Also, there is no incidence of the cooling medium circulation path being blocked when welding is performed in the connection conduit, allowing formers to be more easily connected.
Abstract:
In order to obtain a heating and cooling system capable of localized cooling or heating a given area, a heating and cooling system includes: a supply section configured to supply a heating medium; and a double pipe unit including: an inner pipe, connected to the supply section, through which the heating medium flows, and an outer pipe disposed at an outer peripheral side of the inner pipe, the outer pipe including a space between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, the space being maintained at a vacuum, portions in which a degree of vacuum of the space is different, or in which the degree of vacuum of the space is adjustable.
Abstract:
In an intermediate connecting unit 50 of superconducting cables, by forming the connecting superconducting wires 101 in a trapezoid shape tapered in the direction of the electric insulating layer 113 (the superconducting shield layers 114) sides from the large radius section 213a side of the reinforcement insulating layer 213, the inclined surface sections 213b can be covered without spaces and without the plurality of connecting superconducting wires overlapping. The plurality of connecting superconducting wires 101 cover the inclined surface sections 213b of the reinforcement insulating layer 213 formed thicker than the radius of the cable cores 11 of the superconducting cables 10. The connecting superconducting wires 101 further connects the superconducting wires 10 arranged on the outer periphery of the large radius section 213a of the reinforcement insulating layer 213 and the superconducting wires 100 constituting the superconducting shield layers 114.

Abstract:
A connection structure is provided for a pair of superconducting cables each including a cable core including a former and a superconductive conductor layer composed of a plurality of superconducting wires arranged along an outer circumference of the former. The superconducting wire has a laminated structure including a base plate and a superconducting layer formed on a side closer to one of principal surfaces of the base plate. One of the superconducting cables and another of the superconducting cables are connected with each other by a first superconducting wire and a second superconducting wire such that the superconducting layers of the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire face each other.
