In this paper, the thermal characteristics of multilayer insulation (MLI) were experimentally investigated by using boil-off calorimetry method for seeking optimum standards of thermal insulation conditions. It is necessary to design the thermal insulating efficiency for applying to cryogenic instruments such as HTS power cable system. It is well known that the thermal characteristics and heat transfer of MLI are greatly affected by various MLI structures such as the number of layers and layer density, etc. However, it is difficult to know the thermal characteristics of MLI correctly. The heat leak by MLI between room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature was measured at various conditions using a cylindrical cryostat. The cryostat consists of two guard vessels located at both end sides and a test vessel between them. The guard vessels are also filled with liquid nitrogen to prevent radiation heat leak through the both end side of the cylindrical test vessel to measure the heat leak only through MLI.

The degradation of the dielectric properties of insulating papers that were used under loaded conditions at cryogenic temperature was paid attention. Electrical and tensile stress properties of dielectric paper at cryogenic temperature have been investigated to optimum insulating design of high-Tc superconducting(HTS) cable. Tensile strength of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was high more than that of air, but tensile strain could know that decrease sharply. According as tensile strength increases, the breakdown stress of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was decreased.

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) has attracted a great deal of interest from the viewpoint of energy saving. The magnet of conduction-cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) SMES is cooled down by a cryocooler. One of the most important problems to be assured the protection of magnet and cryocooler is breakdown at cryogenic temperature. In this study, we investigated insulation materials such as Kapton, Aluminum Nitride(AIN), Alumina($Al_2O_3$), glass fiber reinforced plastics(GFRP) and vacuum in cryogenic temperature. Also, we analyzed statistically the Weibull distribution of breakdown voltage.

The selection of the temperature sensor in the cryogenic system depends on the temperature range, shape and accuracy. The accuracy of the temperature sensor is essential to improve the reliability of experiment. We have developed the variable temperature cryostat using a two-stage cryocooler. In order to reduce heat load, thermal shield is installed at the first stage with MLI (Multiple layer insulation). We have also developed the sensor holder calibrating more than twenty sensors at the same time for saving time and money. The system can calibrate sensor at variable temperature by controlling electric heater. In this paper, we present design and fabrication of variable temperature cryostat and representative result of Cernox sensor calibration.

Composite insulation system of liquid nitrogen and solid spacer is widely applied in high temperature superconduction power machine. This study has three step procedure. As follow, first step is composition of parallel deposited electrode and vertically deposited electrode along the direction of immersion in liquid nitrogen(LN2). Second step is investigation into surface flashover voltage of solid spacer under partially immersed in LN2, and last step is comparison the result of this research with that of fully immersed in LN2 and at cryogenic temperature gaseous nitrogen(GN2). This result presented that surface flashover voltage along solid spacer half immersed in LN2 was almost the same as that of fully immersed spacer when the thickness of spacer(t) was t<10mm. In the case of t> 10mm, however, spacer flashover voltage was equal to that obtained in GN2 at cryogenic temperature. And the immersed direction functions as role of deciding the difference of surface flashover voltage.

In this thesis, the Sol-Air temperature distribution for the side-wall of a cylindrical cryogenic storage tank made of nonhomogenious composite layer was studied, in order to calculate the thermal load by Newton's cooling law, when the solar radiation was applied upon the side wall. In the analysis, the atmospheric slab was assumed to be horizontal and infinitely large, and the Sol -Air temperature, which was found by the Net- Radiation method considering the longwave radiation wi th surroundings, was used for boundary condition. Energy equation and boundary conditions were normalized by the defined reference- temperature, and solved. The solutions were developed by the Fourier cosine series. Then, the Sol-Air temperature distribution for the side-wall of LNG storage tank was calculated.

This study discusses the thermal insulation capacity of variant of NO96 LNG (liquefied natural gas) cargo containment insulation system. Changing the insulation materials and the insulation layers of conventional GTT NO96 containment system, The thermal resistance and BOR(boil off rate) caused by the heat transfer between cryogenic and environmental temperature is discussed. Therefore, thermal analysis of LNG CCS(cargo containment system) is carried out to determine the insulation capabilities. Also, BOR is evaluated in terms of the total amount of heat invaded into CCS(cargo containment system). Variant of NO96 CCS such as NO96, NO96GW and NO96L3 membrane type during laden voyage is selected for the comparative study. Finite element model for heat transfer analysis is conducted by employing the equivalent thermal resistance model to simplify the complex insulation layers. Finally the results for each variant model are relatively compared and discussed to minimize the BOR.

In this paper the experiments of breakdown characteristics $SF_6$ liquid ($LSF_6$) in model GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) were described. From the experiments results, The ability of $LSF_6$ insulation is higher than high-pressurized $SF_6$ gas. The breakdown characteristics of $LSF_6$ were produced by bubble formed evaporation of $LSF_6$ and bubble caused by high electric emission. It is considered in this paper that the results are fundamental data for electric insulation design of superconductor and cryogenic equipments machinery which will be studied and developed in the future.
