A precooling device for a thermal radiation shield of a superconducting magnet has a mechanical heat conductive member in contact with the thermal radiation shield of a superconducting magnet, for cooling the thermal radiation shield down to a second temperature before the second stage of precooling of the superconducting magnet, this second temperature being below the temperature of the thermal radiation shield after a first stage of precooling of the superconducting magnet. A superconducting magnet and magnetic resonance imaging equipment embody such a precooling device. The precooling device reduces the external radiation heat onto a cryogen vessel, thereby reducing the consumption of cryogen. |
