Abstract: A cryostat includes a coolant tank, a refrigerator, a cylindrical member, and a gas phase volume-varying unit. The coolant tank houses a liquid coolant. The refrigerator is provided above the coolant tank and recondenses the coolant evaporated in the coolant tank. The cylindrical member houses a lower part of the refrigerator and forms a recondensing chamber that communicates with the coolant tank. The gas phase volume-varying unit communicates with a gas-phase space above a liquid surface of the liquid coolant in the coolant tank and varies a gas phase volume in the gas-phase space to cancel out a pressure fluctuation in the coolant tank.

Abstract: The present invention is such that a main body neither drops out nor is destroyed. A plurality of brackets (4), provided on a side surface of a main body (2) in which a superconducting magnet is mounted internally in a state in which each protrudes therefrom, are each supported by a stand (3) from the bottom, and enclosing members (5) are attached to the side surface of the main body (2) with a prescribed space (a) opened from the bottom of the brackets (4). At least part of the inside surface of an enclosing member (5) surrounds a stand (3) in a non-contact state.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to reduce vibration derived from a refrigeration machine. A cryostat comprises: a helium tank (2) which stores liquid helium; a refrigeration machine (5) which is provided above the helium tank (2) and re-liquefies the vaporized liquid helium in the helium tank (2); a cylindrical member (15) which houses the lower part of the refrigeration machine (5) and forms a liquefaction chamber (8) communicating with the helium tank (2); and a buffer tank (10) which stores helium gas and communicates with at least either the space above the surface of the liquid helium in the helium tank (2) or the liquefaction chamber (8). The gas-phase volumes of the helium tank (2) and the liquefaction chamber (8) increase by having the buffer tank (10) communicate with the helium tank (2) and the liquefaction chamber (8).
