“…The decrease in heat flow for 10-15 liter vessels was 30-35% under the same conditions. This "thermal paradox" has also been observed by other authors [2][3][4][5] in various types of insulation.…”

A 12 m long model of a 5 cm cose dipole cryostat has been constructed and its thermal performance measured. The model utilized heat intercepted fiberglass reinforced plastic posts to support the 12 m long, 4.5 K cold mass and the 10 and 80 K thermal shields. A superinsulation blanket system utilizing aluminized polyester with fiberglass mat spacing material was developed and installed on the 10 and 80 K thermal shields. The heat gain to 4.5, 10 and 80 K was measured. We have compared the results with the analytical predicted performance and it shows good agreement. The performance of the multilayer insulation system has been measured under several different system conditions and the results are reported.

“…Unlike the cylindrical calorimeter [5], that shown in Fig. 1 eliminates edge effects, and the insulation-laying and evacuation conditions are similar to those encountered in practice in connection with small vessels.…”

“…On the other hand, in calorimetric measurements certain authors have observed an increase in Xeff with increase in the thickness of the investigated specimen. This effect is either simply noted without explanation [4] or attributed to a possible experimental error [5], since in flat and cylindrical calorimeters it is very difficult to eliminate the error due to edge effects, especially when the thickness of the specimen is increased. Indeed, if at a pressure in the calorimeter cavity of less than 1 9 10 -3 N/m 2 the heat transfer through a specimen of multilayer vacuum insulation is regarded only as heat transport by radiation and solid conduction, with heat transport by the residual gases neglected, it is impossible to explain the dependence of keff on 5.…”
