Abstract
Description
ケーブルコア11は、フォーマ111、超電導導体層112、電気絶縁層113、超電導シールド層114、常電導シールド層115、保護層116等で構成される。超電導導体層112は、フォーマ111の上に複数条の超電導線材を螺旋状に巻回することにより形成される。同様に、超電導シールド層114は、電気絶縁層113の上に複数条の超電導線材を螺旋状に巻回することにより形成される。
超電導ケーブル10の定常運転時には、内管121の内部に液体窒素などの冷媒が循環され、極低温状態で超電導導体層112に送電電流が流れることとなる。
従来の超電導ケーブルでは、真空部の区切りが無く、真空部は終端部もケーブルも中間接続部も全てつながっている。あるいは、図14に示すように、超電導ケーブル10の断熱管12の内部を製造段階で真空化し、断熱管12の端部において、一定の長さ(例えば3~5m程度)について真空の区分け部分129を形成する(符号129aは区分けによる仕切り部)。そして、現地で接続部を組み立てる際には、区分け部分129のみを切断して真空を破壊し、断熱管12全体は真空状態を維持したまま、中間接続部としての二重構造の断熱容器130に連結し、当該断熱容器130を用いて他の超電導ケーブルとの連結を図ることにより布設作業を行う方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
また、特許文献1に記載の超電導ケーブルの布設作業では、断熱管の区分け部分129は、断熱容器130の断熱領域に連通され、断熱領域と共に真空引きが行われる。その結果、真空が破壊された区分け部分129からの熱の侵入は回避することが可能である。しかしながら、断熱管12を構成する内管121と外管122には、その過酷な温度変化などにおける耐久性の問題から金属管が使用され、高い熱伝導のため、上記区分けによる仕切り部129aが断熱容器130の入り口の近くに位置していると、外管122のb部分から仕切り部129aを介して断熱管12の内部に熱が侵入してしまうという問題があった。さらに、区分けされたケーブルには真空口がないため、真空引きが出来ず、断熱層のアウトガスで徐々に真空は悪くなる。また、接続部の真空を上げるためには、各接続部に真空ポンプを常設する必要がある。
また、断熱内管と断熱外管は、互いの先端部をつないで外部と仕切った後に、中間接続部内へ引き込む構造であることから、断熱内管と断熱外管とを予め仕切る場合に比べて、仕切り部を伝って断熱内管の内部への熱の侵入量を低く抑えることができ、高い断熱性を得ることが可能である。
さらに、断熱外管の引き込み部位にその外側の断熱外管よりも管壁の薄い波付き管状部を備えるので、熱の伝達経路が長く且つ薄いことにより、内部への熱の侵入をさらに効果的に低減することが可能である。
さらに、中間接続部の真空口を断熱外管が貫通する側の外部容器の外側の壁面に設け、断熱管の真空口を外部容器の外側にある断熱外管の外周に設けた場合には、超電導ケーブルと中間接続部の真空領域を簡易にそれぞれの真空口を通じて接続することが可能となると共に、真空口を通じた熱侵入量を低減することが可能となる。
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図1は実施形態に係る超電導ケーブルの接続構造を適用した超電導ケーブルの布設例を示す概略図、図2は布設される超電導ケーブルの一例を示す図である。
図1に示すように、超電導ケーブル10の布設は、電力の供給元と供給先とに配設した終端接続部30、30の間を複数の超電導ケーブル10で接続し、超電導ケーブル10と超電導ケーブル10とは中間接続部20で連結される。また、終端接続部30には、冷凍機を備えたポンプPが併設されており、各超電導ケーブル10の後述する断熱管12に沿って冷却した液体冷媒を循環させてケーブルコア11(後述)の冷却を行っている。
本実施形態は、超電導ケーブル10と中間接続部20との接続構造に関するものである。
図2に示す超電導ケーブル10は、断熱管12内に一心のケーブルコア11が収納された単心型の超電導ケーブルである。ケーブルコア11は、フォーマ111、超電導導体層112、電気絶縁層113、超電導シールド層114、常電導シールド層115、保護層116等により構成される。
超電導導体層112を構成する超電導線材は、例えば、テープ状の金属基板上に中間層、超電導層、保護層等が順に形成された積層構造を有している。超電導層を構成する超電導体には、液体窒素温度以上で超電導を示すRE系超電導体(RE:希土類元素)、例えば化学式YBa2Cu3O7-δで表されるY系超電導体を適用できる。また、金属マトリクス中に超電導体が形成されているテープ状の超電導線材でもよい。超電導体には、ビスマス系超電導体、例えば化学式Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ(Bi2212), Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ(Bi2223)を適用できる。なお、化学式中のδは酸素不定比量を示す。
保護層116は、例えば絶縁紙、高分子不織布などで構成され、常電導シールド層115の上に巻回することにより形成される。
断熱内管121及び断熱外管122は、例えばステンレス製のコルゲート管(波付き管)である。断熱内管121と断熱外管122の間には、例えばアルミを蒸着したポリエチレンフィルムの積層体で構成された多層断熱層(スーパーインシュレーション)123が介在され、真空状態に保持される。また、断熱外管122の外周はポリ塩化ビニル(PVC)やポリエチレンなどの防食層124で被覆されている。
図3は超電導ケーブル10と中間接続部20の接続構造を示す概略図である。
中間接続部20は、内側の内部容器としての接続部用断熱内管21と、外側の外部容器としての接続部用断熱外管22からなる二重構造を有し、接続部用断熱内管21と接続部用断熱外管22はステンレスから形成されている。
接続部用断熱外管22は、筒状であってその中心線方向の両端部に端部壁面221が形成されており(図3では一方のみ図示)、接続部用断熱内管21は、接続部用断熱外管22の内部中央に配設され、筒状であって、その中心線方向の両端部に端部壁面211が形成されている(図3では一方のみ図示)。
接続部用断熱外管22には、両方の端部壁面221(断熱外管122が貫通する側の接続部用断熱外管22の外側の壁面)に開閉の切り替えが可能な切り替えバルブを備えた真空引きを行うための真空口222が装備されている。この真空口222は、超電導ケーブル10の布設時の接続構造の組み立ての際には、接続部用断熱外管22の真空引きに利用される。
そして、中間接続部20は、その布設時に、接続部用断熱外管22と接続部用断熱内管21との間の領域に対して真空口222から真空引きが行われて断熱構造が施される。この中間接続部20は、その両端部に連結される二つの超電導ケーブル10の端部がそれぞれ引き込まれており(図1参照)、各超電導ケーブル10の断熱内管121の内部領域と接続部用断熱内管21の内部領域とが端部壁面211を介して連通し、これらの内部領域には冷媒が充填される。また、接続部用断熱内管21の内部において、各超電導ケーブル10のケーブルコア11の端部同士が接続される。
前述したように、中間接続部20には両端側からそれぞれ超電導ケーブル10が引き込まれて接続されるが、各々の超電導ケーブル10の接続構造は同一であるため、一方の超電導ケーブル10と中間接続部20との接続構造についてのみ説明を行う。
そして、断熱内管121は、中間接続部20の引き込み部位も含めて一様にコルゲート管により形成されている。一方、断熱外管122は、中間接続部20の外側は主にコルゲート管で形成され、中間接続部20の手前から引き込み部位にかけて波のない直管125(以下、接続用直管125とする)で形成されている。
また、布設後は、この真空口127と中間接続部20の接続部用断熱外管22に設けられた真空口222とを連結して直通可能とする。前述したように、中間接続部20は接続部用断熱外管22の両側の端部壁面221に真空口222を備えるので、中間接続部20の両側において、真空口同士を接続することにより、中間接続部20に両側に接続された二つの超電導ケーブル10の断熱管12の内部(断熱外管122と断熱内管121の間の領域)を、中間接続部20の接続部用断熱外管22に形成された真空口222と断熱外管122に形成された真空口127とを介して連通した状態とすることが可能となる。従って、連結されている全ての超電導ケーブル10と中間接続部20とについて、上記接続を行うことにより、全ての超電導ケーブル10の断熱管12が連通した状態となり、経年使用により真空度の低下を生じた場合のメンテナンス時には、一端部側から真空引きを行うことで全ての超電導ケーブル10について断熱管12の真空引きを行うことが可能である。
また、各真空口127,222には、いずれも開閉可能な切り替えバルブが設けられているので、バルブを閉じた状態で真空口127と222とを切り離して、個々の超電導ケーブル10の断熱管12や個々の中間接続部20の接続部用断熱外管22について、真空度の検査や、真空の低下時の真空引きを行ったり、異常が生じた超電導ケーブル10や中間接続部20を単独で切り離したりすることが可能である。
以下、上記構成からなる超電導ケーブル10の接続構造の布設方法について図面と共に順を追って説明する。
まず、超電導ケーブル10の製造の現場(例えば工場)で行う予め行う作業について、図4から図8に基づいて説明する。
図4に示すように、超電導ケーブル10の両端部において、断熱管12の端部を切断する。
次に、図5に示すように、切断された断熱管12の断熱内管121と断熱外管122との間の領域を封止するために、断熱内管121の先端に直管401aを、断熱外管122の先端に直管401bを溶接し、直管401aと直管401bの先端を溶接することで封じ切り、先端部が閉塞された二重構造の直管401を接続する。なお、この直管401の内側の直管401aは断熱内管121と管壁の厚さが等しく、直管401の外側の直管401bは断熱外管122と管壁の厚さが等しいものが使用される。そして、この直管401の外側の直管401bには真空口402が設けられており、当該真空口402から断熱管12の内部の真空引きを行う。
かかる円形直管407を接合した時点で、超電導ケーブル10の断熱管12の断熱内管121の内部領域は密閉状態となるので、図6に示した蓋体403の真空口404から真空引きを実行する。
また、断熱管12の断熱内管121と断熱外管122との間の領域については、真空度が十分に高くなったら、真空引きを完了し、そのまま真空状態を維持しても良いし、断熱内管121の内部領域と同様に、真空口402から露点温度の低い乾燥ガス(例えば、N2ガス)を充填し、内部を大気圧より高い所定の正圧状態にしても良い。これによって、真空引きにより内部の水分が除去された状態を維持する。
ここまでが、製造の現場で行われる前処理であり、これ以降、超電導ケーブル10は、布設現場に輸送される。
そして、超電導ケーブル10の断熱内管121の内部の正圧圧力を測定し、当初の正圧圧力との差により漏れ等の異常を検査する。また、断熱管12の断熱内管121と断熱外管122との間の領域に乾燥ガスを充填した場合には、断熱内管121の内部と同様の検査を実施する。また、断熱管12の断熱内管121と断熱外管122との間の領域を真空に保ったまま運搬した場合には、当該内部領域に露点温度の低い乾燥ガス(例えば、N2ガス)を充填して大気圧まで戻してやる。
なお、超電導ケーブル10の逆側の端部(図6参照)についても、直管401を含む断熱管12の一部を超電導ケーブル10の先端部から除去する。このとき、断熱内管121に対して断熱外管122は、接続用直管125の取り付け代となる分だけ切除する。次に、断熱管12にベローズ管126と真空口127とが既設の接続用直管125を接合する。
超電導ケーブル10の両端部において、接続用直管125が接合されると、断熱管12は、断熱内管121と断熱外管122との間の領域が密閉された状態となるので、その時点で真空口127により真空引きを実施する。なお、超電導ケーブル10は、既に真空引きを実施すると共に露点温度の低い乾燥ガスで大気圧に戻しているため、真空引きの遅滞原因となる内部の湿気が除去されており、このため、この二回目の真空引きは通常よりも短時間で完了させることが可能である。
そして、上記連結作業が終わると、図11に示すように、中間接続部20を形成する。即ち、接続用直管125の先端部の外縁部125a、断熱内管121の先端部の外縁部121aと接続部用断熱内管21の端部壁面211の内縁部とが溶接により接合される。
また、接続用直管125のベローズ管126と真空口127との間の位置125bが、接続部用断熱外管22の端部壁面221の内縁部と溶接により接合される。これにより、中間接続部20の接続部用断熱内管21と接続部用断熱外管22との間の領域が密閉された状態となる。
上記接続用直管125、接続部用断熱内管21及び接続部用断熱外管22の溶接時には、各部が加熱されて熱歪みを発生しうるが、ベローズ管126は伸縮を吸収することが可能であるため、熱歪みの発生を回避することが可能である。
そして、中間接続部20の真空度が断熱管12の真空度と同程度となったら、真空口222の切り替えバルブを一旦閉じて、断熱管12の真空口127と中間接続部20の真空口222とを連結する(図3参照)。その後、各真空口127,222の切り替えバルブをいずれも開放し、断熱管12の断熱外管122と断熱内管121の間の領域と中間接続部20の接続部用断熱外管22と接続部用断熱内管21の間の領域が連通される。
なお、上記液体窒素の充填時に、断熱管12は収縮するが、その際の収縮もベローズ管126が吸収し、歪みを低減することが可能である。
上記の超電導ケーブル10の接続構造によれば、超電導ケーブル10の布設時において、断熱管12の切断位置の制限がなく、超電導ケーブル10を任意の長さに調節することが可能である。
また、断熱内管121と断熱外管122は、中間接続部20内へ引き込まれた各々の引き込み端部同士を封止して断熱管12を密閉する構造であることから、断熱内管121と断熱外管122とを接合する仕切り部を途中に設ける従来の構造に比べて、仕切り部を伝って断熱内管121の内部への熱の侵入を防止することができ、断熱内管121の内側に対して、高い断熱性を得ることが可能である。
特に、ベローズ管126は、その管の中心線方向に沿った断面形状が、中間接続部20の外側の断熱外管122のコルゲート管よりも振幅が大きく、波のピッチが小さい波形であることから、内部への熱の侵入をさらに効果的に低減する。
また、ベローズ管126は、布設時の溶接作業による加熱時の周囲の熱膨張を吸収するだけでなく、冷媒の注入或いは排出時における温度変化の際の熱伸縮も吸収し、超電導ケーブル10及び中間接続部20の内部に生じる応力を効果的に低減することが可能である。
また、断熱管12の真空口127と中間接続部20の真空口222は、いずれも開閉の切り替えが可能な切り替えバルブを備えていることから、真空口127と真空口222を連結した場合には、全超電導ケーブル10の一端から系内全ての断熱領域内に対する真空引きを一度に行うことが可能となる。
さらに、各真空口127,222を適宜選択して開閉操作することにより、故障復旧場所の発見も容易である。この場合、全ての区画を閉にしておき、各部位の真空度をモニタリングすればよい。さらに、故障復旧時には、該当箇所以外の真空区画を閉にしておけば、復旧に伴う真空引き箇所を限定する事が出来る。
なお、前述した超電導ケーブル10の接続構造の布設作業の例では、製造の現場(工場)の段階では、超電導ケーブル10に接続用直管125及びベローズ管126は取り付けずに、布設現場において取り付けを行っていたが、接続を行う超電導ケーブル10の長さが予め正確に分かっている場合には、製造の現場(工場)の段階で断熱管12の長さを調節し、接続用直管125及びベローズ管126の取り付けを行い、断熱管12の内部の真空引きを行っても良い。その場合、図12Aに示すように、接続用直管125及びベローズ管126が取り付けられた状態の超電導ケーブル10に対して、接続用直管125及びベローズ管126が円形直管409の内側となるようにプーリングアイ構造405を施した上で、工場から布設現場に出荷することが望ましい。なお、図12Aに示す超電導ケーブル10の逆側は、図12Bのように、切断された断熱管12の断熱内管121に蓋体403が溶接により接続され、断熱外管122にはベローズ管126と真空口127とが既設の接続用直管125が溶接により接続されている。
また、上記超電導ケーブル10の布設時には、図13に示すように、プーリングアイ構造405を除去すると共に、接続用直管125と断熱内管121との接合部よりも先端側の断熱内管121(破線部分)を除去した後に中間接続部20の形成作業を実施することが望ましい。
以上、本発明者によってなされた発明を実施形態に基づいて具体的に説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で変更可能である。
例えば、上記ベローズ管126は、温度変化に対する耐久性などの問題をクリアすることが可能であれば、金属材料以外を使用しても良い。例えば、テフロン(登録商標)の様な非金属で形成してもよい。その場合には、熱伝導が金属より小さいので、ベローズ管126の管中心線方向における長さをより短くすることも可能である。また、ベローズ管126は金属で形成し、接続用直管125のベローズ管126以外の部分をFRPなどの非金属で形成しても良い。
