Abstract:
1. A cooling system comprising: a first section of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable configured to receive a flow of coolant flowing at a first rate and to permit said flow of coolant to flow therethrough, said flow of coolant undergoing a temperature increase as it passes through said HTS cable; a first refrigeration module configured to receive said flow of coolant from said first section of HTS cable and to lower the temperature of said flow of coolant, said first refrigeration module configured to divide said flow of coolant into a plurality of coolant streams, each coolant stream flowing at a second rate different from said first rate; a second section of HTS cable configured to receive at least one of said plurality of coolant streams, said second section of HTS cable configured to permit said at least one of said plurality of coolant streams to flow therethrough; and a third section of HTS cable configured to receive at least one of said plurality of coolant streams, said third section of HTS cable configured to permit said at least one of said plurality of coolant streams to flow therethrough; wherein said plurality of coolant streams are combined after they have flowed through said second and third sections of HTS cable to form said flow of coolant flowing at said first rate and said flow of coolant flowing at said first rate is provided to said first HTS cable section.
