Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method of accelerating cool down of a target member of a cryogenic system to a cryogenic operating temperature. The method comprises the steps of cooling a target region of a cryogenic system with a first cooling apparatus, the first cooling apparatus being adapted to cool the target region to a first temperature by thermal conduction between the first apparatus and the target member, and having a first cooling power at the first temperature; and cooling the target member of the cryogenic system from the first temperature to an operating temperature using a cryocooler, where the first cooling power of the first cooling apparatus at the first temperature is greater than the cooling power of the cryocooler at the first temperature. This allows a target member of a cryogenic system to be cooled more rapidly than when conventional methods are used.
