Embodiment Construction

[0014] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a cryogenic magnet system equipped with a refrigerator 4 in a connection sleeve 5 . The particular cryogenic magnet system shown is an MRI magnet system. A liquid cryogen container 1 containing a superconducting magnet (not shown) is surrounded by one or more heat shields 2 which in turn are completely surrounded by a vacuum jacket 3 . Refrigerator 4 is detachably assembled to the magnet system, and is thermally and mechanically connected by connection sleeve 5, so as to cool the heat shield 2 through thermal connection 5a, which may be copper braided wire or Any other suitable known thermal connection. Although not required by the present invention, the interior of the connecting sleeve 5 may communicate with the interior of the cryogen container 1 , for example via a tube 6 . The refrigerator 4 can then recondense the evaporated refrigerant gas and convey it back to the refrigerant container 1 via the line 6 . During operation of...

Abstract

A cryogenic magnet system, comprising a cryogenic vessel (1) housing a magnet winding, a vacuum jacket (3) enclosing the cryogenic vessel and a refrigerator (4) at least partially housed within the vacuum jacket and thermally linked (6) to the cryogenic vessel. In particular, the system further comprises an electromagnetic shield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cryogenic magnet arrangement for generating a uniform magnetic field. In particular, the present invention relates to a shield disposed around a cryogenic refrigerator to reduce the effect of the cryogenic refrigerator on the stability of a synthetic magnetic field. Background technique [0002] MRI magnet systems typically include cryogenic magnet arrangements and are used for medical diagnosis. MRI magnets require a stable, uniform magnetic field. To achieve stability, superconducting magnet systems are typically employed that operate at very low temperatures, which are typically maintained by cooling the superconductor by immersing it in a cryogenic fluid, usually liquid helium. Cryogenic fluids, especially helium, are expensive and it is desirable that the magnet system be designed and operated in such a way that the use of this cryogenic fluid is minimized. [0003] The superconducting magnet system generally includes...
