Latest Patents

Shen is named on 1 patent: “Relay station system for long-distance submarine superconducting cable.” The invention describes a relay station system designed to refrigerate and support the operation and maintenance of a submarine superconducting cable.

The system uses a shaft-type operation and maintenance platform, a refrigeration station, and a coolant circulation device. Its circulation components include inflow and outflow cooling pipes, two refrigerant storage tanks, and two intermediate cooling pipes. The cable housing is partially stripped to form three transmission segments. Refrigerant circulates between the segments and storage tanks, passing through the refrigeration station for cooling before continuing through the system.

The design aims to address refrigeration and relay challenges along long-distance submarine cables. It is intended to facilitate maintenance of seabed-laid cables and other relay signal devices while helping reduce overall maintenance costs.
