Abstract:
1. A magnetic field generation device for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, said magnetic field generation device comprising: a vacuum container that generates a vacuum inside of the vacuum container; at least one magnetic coil made of superconducting material that is enclosed by said vacuum container; a pipe system comprising at least one conduit in heat-transferring communication with said magnetic coil, said conduit containing a liquid coolant therein that places said superconducting material in a superconducting state during a normal operating condition of said magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, and at least a portion of said liquid coolant transitioning to a gas in a non-normal operating state of said magnetic resonance tomography apparatus; a capture container; and a valve connected with said pipe system that regulates passage of said gas between said pipe system and an interior of said capture container.
