Abstract

Thermal transfer line assemblies as well as methods for manufacturing thermal transfer line assemblies, and methods for transferring thermal energy are provided. In at least one embodiment a thermal transfer line assembly is provided that can include: a vacuum housing; a suspension support housing within the vacuum housing; a thermal conduit within the suspension support housing; in at least one cross section, a continuous outer void between the vacuum housing and the suspension support housing, an inner void between the suspension support housing and the thermal conduit; and a suspension system within the inner void and coupled to the suspension support housing but mechanically disconnected from the thermal conduit.
