Abstract

See full text

A cryostat assembly with an outer container for a storage tank with a first cryogenic fluid and a coil tank for a superconducting magnet coil system. The magnet coil system is cooled by a second cryogenic fluid colder than the first cryogenic fluid, the coil tank being mechanically connected to the outer container and/or to radiation shields surrounding the coil tank via a mounting structure. Liquid helium at an operating temperature of approximately 4.2 K is the first cryogenic, fluid and helium at an operating temperature of <3.5 K is the second cryogenic fluid in the coil tank. The mounting structure has mounting elements with thermally conductive contact points thermally coupled to heat sinks having a temperature at or below that of the storage tank, via thermal conductor elements. This ensures long times to quench if malfunctions occur.
