the counterflow cooling arrangement the liquid nitrogen flows through the HTS cable
former, providing cooling to the terminations as well as the cable and returns in the annulus
between the outside of the cable and the inner cryostat wall as illustrated in FIGURE 1. In
contrast, for the parallel flow arrangement, liquid nitrogen flows in the same direction
through the cable former and the annulus. The liquid nitrogen is returned through a
separate vacuum-insulated line.
