The safety valves ensure pipeline safety. A thermometer is installed on the cold shield device to detect the cold shield temperature and regulate the liquid nitrogen supply flow rate.
[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0052] This invention provides a liquid nitrogen cooling shield device, including a container shell, a cooling shield device disposed within the container shell, and a fixing device for mounting the cooling shield device within the container shell. The fixing device creates a spacer cavity between the cooling shield device and the inner wall of the container shell. This spacer cavity reduces contact between the cooling shield device and the container shell, thereby reducing heat radiation, convection, and conduction, preventing heat leakage, reducing cryogenic losses, and increasing the effectiveness and duration of cryogenic storage.
[0053] The liquid nitrogen cold screen device provided by the embodiment of the application is economical and feasible, stable in performance, and ingenious in structure, and can provide a stable low-temperature environment for various researches. Through analysis of the basic principle of heat leakage, a liquid nitrogen cold screen device is designed by comprehensively considering heat conduction, convection and thermal radiation. When used for maintaining low temperature, the device has the effect of extremely low heat leakage. By blocking and reducing thermal radiation, convection heat transfer and heat conduction, the consumption of liquid helium for maintaining ultra-low temperature inside can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the operation cost of the liquid nitrogen cold screen device. The upper and lower separation effect brought by the lifting device is easy for later maintenance and replacement of the test device.
