Abstract:
A remote cooling system of super-conducting magnets uses a closed cycle auxiliary flow circuit in a cryogenic cooling system. The super-conducting magnet is connected to the cryogenic cooling system via a flexible interface. This flexible interface has a rigid insert on its distal end and may be connected to a cryostat on its proximal side. The rigid end may be inserted in a mating cryogenic interface at the super-conducting magnet. The closed cycle auxiliary flow circuit allows the cryogenic cooled magnet to operate at its designed magnetic field strength and can keep the magnet operational at cryogenic temperatures for extended periods of time since no cryogenic fluid needs to be replenished. Such a system can have test samples raised to room temperature to make sample changes without any need to warm up the magnet. This makes sample change time and experiment turnaround time significantly shorter, and significantly increases productivity.
