helium liquefier and directed towards storage tanks prior to the commencement of the energizing ramping activities on a cold magnet 10 a gas collection pipe 15 is connected to the magnet 10 the intention of this line 15 is to facilitate the transfer of any helium produced as a result of the energizing process this gas could be the product of ambient heat in leak into the helium reservoir of the magnet 10 the gas formed due to the ramping of the superconducting coils producing heat which is dissipated into the helium reservoir or where the temporary change in the coils from a superconductive to non superconductive state results in the dissipation of the entirety of the energy stored within the coils into the helium within the reservoir i e a quench in the case of a quench the volume of gas released into the gas collection line and subsequently directed to the helium gas collection system 11 is large and occurs in a small amount of time typically in under one minute therefore it is important to size the collection line 15 and helium gas collection system 11 appropriately to handle this volume of gas in a small amount of time a helium gas bag may be used as the helium gas collection system 11 from the helium gas collection system 11 the helium is directed through line 16 to a compressor 12 which in turn boost the pressure sufficiently to introduce the helium gas through line 17 back into the helium purifier 13 and through line 18 into helium liquefier 14 and ultimately through line 19 into storage tanks not shown associated with a helium production facility the helium can then be employed at.
