  • Patent number: 11749435
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet arrangement including: an outer vacuum container (OVC) housing magnet coils; a cryogen vessel thermally linked to the magnet coils; a cold head sock accommodating a cold head, with a thermal contact provided between the cold head and the magnet coils; tubes linking the interior of the cryogen vessel with the interior of the cold head sock; and a thermosiphon circuit defined by the cryogen vessel, the tubes, and the cold head sock. Pre-cooling and removal of ice build-up may be performed using the thermosiphon circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230141678
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cryostat structure for a magnetic resonance imaging device and a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising the same. The cryostat structure including: a casing which forms a ring-shaped chamber inside; a refrigerant container disposed in the chamber and housing a superconducting coil, so that the superconducting coil is immersed in the liquid refrigerant; a heat shield layer disposed between the casing and the refrigerant container for shielding heat radiation from the casing; the casing has a suction hole which is detachably sealed by a sealing cover, and an adsorption chamber is provided on one side of the casing facing the ring-shaped chamber, and an adsorbent capable of adsorbing overflowing elements from the casing or the refrigerant container or the heat shielding layer is contained in the adsorption chamber.
