Design optimization for siphon protection

[0033] Measures such as improving the design of the jumper interface and adding a siphon protection structure effectively prevent siphoning. Simultaneously, the cable's outer sheath is made of siphon protection materials to further reduce the risk of siphoning. Suppression measures for the capillary phenomenon

[0034] The inside of the cable is treated with a special process to prevent coolant ingress; the external installation of an inverted funnel-shaped expansion joint reduces capillary action and prevents coolant from rising. Furthermore, the coolant is changed regularly to maintain its cleanliness and reduce the likelihood of capillary action. Improvement of the control and monitoring technology of the experimental environment
