Abstract: A superconducting magnet system with a superconducting magnet coil system disposed in a cryogenic fluid tank (2) of a cryostat (1), and a refrigerator (6) for cooling the cryogenic fluid that cools the magnet, is characterized in that a radiation shield (5; 21; 31; 41; 51) is provided which separates a refrigerator space (4) from the cryogenic fluid tank (2), wherein the entire cooling region (9) of the refrigerator (6) is disposed in the refrigerator space (4), and wherein the radiation shield (5; 21; 31; 41; 51) has openings (11; 22; 44, 45; 53) for gas or fluid exchange between the refrigerator space (4) and the cryogenic fluid tank (2). Should the refrigerator fail, the thermal input into the cryostat is reduced, and the safety of the maintenance staff is improved in case of a quench.

Abstract: A rotary valve (1) for a cryocooler, in particular for a pulse tube cooler or for a Gifford-Mc-Mahon cooler, has a rotary body (6) that can be rotated by a motor about a rotary axis (DA), a control plate (5), and an axial rolling bearing, by means of which the rotary body (6) can roll along the control plate (5). The axial roller bearing is designed (19a-19c) as a bearing that is non-centering in the radial direction (RR). The rotary valve for a cryocooler has low wear and is thereby simple to produce and assemble.

Abstract: A superconducting magnet system with a superconducting magnet coil system, which is disposed in a cryogenic fluid tank (2) of a cryostat (1), and an exchangeable refrigerator (5; 31) which is operated in a vacuum container (8) and is provided to re-liquefy the cryogenic fluid flowing through a tubular conduit (4; 21) is characterized in that the tubular conduit (4; 21) is rigidly installed in the cryostat (1). The refrigerator reaches its optimum performance during operation in a vacuum, and can be easily exchanged in case of a defect.
