摘要: A superconducting magnet assembly includes a cryostat, a vacuum vessel and a refrigeration stage. An NMR probe using the assembly includes comprises cooled probe components, a two-stage cryocooler, and a counter flow heat exchanger. A cooling circuit guides coolant from one outlet of the counter flow heat exchanger back to an inlet of the counter flow heat exchanger via the second cooling stage, a cooled probe component, and a heat exchanger in the cryostat or a heat exchanger in a helium suspension tube. Both the intake temperature of the coolant flowing into the heat exchanger in the cryostat or in the suspension tube and the return flow temperature of the emerging coolant are at least 5 K lower than the operating temperature of the first cooling stage. Excess cooling capacity of the cryocooler reduces the evaporation rate of liquid helium or cools a superconducting magnet in a cryogen-free cryostat.

摘要: A temperature-controlled NMR probe has a lower insert portion formed of multiple parts including two disc-shaped sub-elements that are not mechanically rigidly interconnected, lie flat against one another in the mounted state and are perpendicular to the z axis. The first sub-element (3.1), in terms of material and geometric structure, fulfils the function of electrically insulating the RF and HV lines fed through the lower insert portion, has an electrical conductivity sigma 100 N/mm2 and a melting temperature TS>250° C. This achieves high breaking strength and resistance to thermal stress while simultaneously attaining required RF and HV properties.

摘要: A cryostat arrangement (1) with a vacuum tank (2) and a cryogenic tank (3) are provided. The vacuum tank has at least one neck tube, (4) leading to the cryogenic tank, with a supporting structure (4a) and an outer tube (4b) surrounding the supporting structure. The neck tube provides a connection from the cryogenic tank to a region outside the vacuum tank to allow cryogenic fluid to flow from the cryogenic tank into a region outside the vacuum tank or vice versa. The neck tube mechanically suspends the cryogenic tank inside the vacuum tank, and parts of the neck tube form a diffusion barrier between the interior of the cryogenic tank and the interior of the vacuum tank. The neck tube can connect to other components of the cryostat arrangement in a fluid-tight manner. Heat input from the neck tubes into the cryogenic tank can be considerably reduced thereby.

摘要: A cryostat arrangement includes a superconducting magnet to be cooled by an active cryocooler. The cryocooler includes a coolant circuit with a compressor, a cold head, and a cold finger in thermal contact with the magnet. A volumetric vessel containing cryogenic fluid is thermally coupled to the magnet. The volumetric vessel is connected to the coolant circuit by a pressure-resistant line. A fluidic component influences the flow rate through the line in a defined manner such that the cryogenic fluid flows between the volumetric vessel and the coolant circuit with a time constant of at least 15 minutes. The cryostat can be operated in a “cryogen-free” manner and permits a sufficiently long time to quench in the event of operational malfunctions.

摘要: An HF coil assembly for generating independent alternating magnetic fields in an examination volume of a magnetic resonance apparatus is presented, the HF coil assembly comprising a first coil pair of saddle coils and a second coil pair of saddle coils, each saddle coil having longitudinal conductor elements and curved conductor elements arranged along a common lateral surface of a circular cylinder having a cylinder axis. Each coil pair comprises curved conductor elements and longitudinal conductor elements which are interconnected at a high frequency. The saddle coils also have diagonal conductor elements and/or bridge elements that connect the longitudinal and curved conductor elements. The coil pairs are opposite to each other relative to the cylinder axis.

摘要: A gradient coil system has a cylindrical section in a central region, which contains no conductor elements and has a maximum outer radius that is larger than a minimum inner radius of conductor elements of a main gradient coil. An outer radius of this cylindrical section is only insubstantially smaller or equal in size to a minimum inner radius of a shielding coil in this axial range. The free space in the center of the gradient coil system is used to insert a passive RF shield, whose radius in a central region becomes larger over a certain length than its radius in outer regions. The RF shield is constructed from at least three partial sections, which are electrically interconnected. The actively shielded gradient coil system maximizes the volume of the RF region without loss of gradient coil system performance.

摘要: A cooling device (1) has a cryostat (2) and a cold head (3) of a cooling system (52), and additionally includes a pivot bearing (35), with which the cold head (3) is mounted on the cryostat (2) so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis (A). A connecting line (15) for a working gas of the cooling system (52) is connected to the cold head so that forces caused by the cooling system (52) act on the cold head via the connecting line (15) at a force application point (EP) in a force application direction (ER). The force application direction (ER) is inclined by no more than 40° with respect to the normal (N) of a lever plane (HE) which contains the rotation axis (A) and the force application point (EP).
