Conduction Cold Terminal.

The CdC is a conduction type, 100% LN2-cooled system designed to act as the termination point for both ends of a superconducting cable.

Operating entirely without HTS material, it manages temperatures by utilizing the cooling capacity of the cable terminations as a parasitic heat load.

For enhanced thermal management, the CdC can be configured with an optional internal heat exchanger, integrated into the continuous flow of LN2 passing to or from the superconducting cable.

In addition to transferring current, the design features a dedicated cryogenic port allowing the coolant to enter or exit the system. This provides a robust termination solution for operating currents ranging from 2-45 kA and voltages from 400 VDC to 35 kVAC.
