Abstract
A helium cooled superconducting magnet assembly including helium gas recondensing apparatus to return liquid helium to the helium supply in the helium vessel includes a recondenser positioned in the helium vessel above the helium supply connected to a cryocooler in a dual-sleeve assembly enabling breaking of thermal joints with thermal isolation from the helium for servicing of the cryocooler during superconducting operation of the magnet assembly, and providing recondensing of helium gas to fall by gravity back to the helium supply.
