Equalizing arrangement for a low temperature line
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An equalizing arrangement for a low temperature line having at least one rigid inner tube enclosed by an outer tube, the inner tube being used for the conduction of a cryogenic medium comprising:
- a. a compensating element forming part of the inner tube and connecting two sections thereof; and
b. an expansion device associated with the compensating element, said expansion device rigidly coupling the two tube sections which are connected by said compensating element, the expansion device being such that it establishes a predetermined length for every given temperature between normal ambient temperature and the temperature of the cryogenic medium conducted by said inner tube.

Abstract
An equalizing arrangement for a low temperature line having at least one rigid inner tube used for the conduction of a cryogenic medium which contains at least one tubular compensating element for the equalization of length changes in which an expansion device is associated with the compensating element permitting the length of the compensating element to be preset as a function of the inner tube temperature to prevent forces from acting upon the terminations connected to the low temperature line during a cooling process.
