Abstract
Sealing arrangement of a fluid system for use with cryogenic media, said arrangement comprising a sealing ring in which a first system component is connected to a second system component by means of the sealing ring which sealing ring further has a first sealing surface which sealingly engages the first system component and the sealing ring has a second sealing surface which sealingly engages the second system component which first sealing surface and second sealing surface of the sealing ring are designed such that the first and second system components in the area of the sealing surfaces extend radially within the sealing ring in a section plane which extends parallel to the direction of contraction, and the sealing ring when exposed to cold, contracts thermally to a greater extent than the first system component and the second system component.
