Abstract

A scheme is presented for interception of the heat flowing into a cryogenic environment, through its mechanical support. In the present method, the mechanical support is cooled continuously by means of a coolant-carrying tube, wound in a helix around the support. A numerical simulation of the present support cooling method has been conducted. An experimental study of this support-cooling method is proposed.
