Cryogenic envelopes for superconducting cables

Nexans manufactures cryogenic lines which either are used for the transfer of liquefied gases (LNG, liquefied nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, helium,...) or as cryogenic envelopes.

Nexans has developed specific cryogenic envelopes for superconducting cables taking advantage of its over 30 years of experience in transfer lines for liquefied gases. 

These cryogenic envelopes constitute the superconducting cable thermal insulation, allowing to maintain the cable core in liquid nitrogen at about -200°C while minimizing the thermal losses.

Besides Transfer Lines and cryogenic envelopes, we can provide a wide range of system components or integrate customer components into our systems.

In more than 30 years of successful operations within Nexans (or formerly Alcatel, kabelmetal) our consistent quality policy has been a sound basis. Of course, our corporation is also certified according to ISO 9001. Very often, the final inspection is carried out in the presence of customers or together with neutral testing institutes such as the TÜV (German Technical Control Board).
