Bayonet for superfluid helium transfer in space
- 1. Cryolab, Inc., San Luis Obispo, CA (USA)
Description
A prototype bayonet for potential use in the SHOOT flight experiment was developed and evaluated with a low heat test apparatus. Measured heat leak of the 13 mm bayonet pair is 0.21 W at 1.8 K. Bayonets were fabricated with thin tubes which were electron beam welded to machined nose and flange pieces. Low heat leak structural integrity was provided by a 0.9 mm thickness of filament wound fiberglass-epoxy. Superfluid creep was restricted by KEL-F nose seals which form vacuum-tight extensions to the bayonet cold end pieces. Performance and leak test results are assessed
