Support arrangement for the conductors of low temperature cables
Abstract
Abstract A low temperature cable including support means for carrying electrical conductors on a cylindrical surface disposed concentrically of the axis of the cable and which is designed to reduce tensile stress and relative movement in the cable as it is cooled. A plurality of aligned supporting rings are initially held in spaced relationship by means of a number of rod members that extend between adjacent rings with the ends of the rods loosely held in recesses near the outer peripheral surfaces of the rings. This structure is completed to a tube-like configuration by a wrapping of foil or tape. The rods and rings on the one hand and the foil or the tape on the other hand are usually, of different materials having different coefficients of contraction so that as the completed structure is cooled, the rods contract to an extent that they are disengaged from the rings and the movement of the rings, caused by the contraction of the foil or tape, relative to each other is not hampered.
