Abstract
A connection assembly between two portions of a supply line for a cryogenic fluid, the assembly including a male nozzle arranged to be at least partially inserted into a female nozzle together forming a tight mechanical link, over a distance of a few centimeters, a thermal insulation chamber for each of the two line portions and an additional thermal insulation chamber to thermally insulate the connection zone of the two line portions, and an expansion chamber for the cryogenic fluid that is configured to be linked to a cryogenic fluid sensor, arranged about the connection zone of the two line portions. This enables two cryogenic fluid line portions to be connected without requiring one portion to be inserted into the other portion over a significant length, thereby enhancing mechanical flexibility and obviating the need for significant free space about the connection assembly to assemble and disassemble the assembly.
