A cryogenic refrigerator system with heaters is constructed in modular form to serve as a portable servicing system to warm up and then cool down a target object by circulating a gaseous cryogen through a target object cryostat without moving the target object or breaking its vacuum. The main module is a refrigerator cryostat containing a fan that circulates gas through one or more heat exchangers which can warm or cool the gas by heaters and by one or more GM or Brayton cycle expanders. Additional components including one or more compressors, a gas charge and vent assembly, a control system, gas lines, power lines, and vacuum jacketed transfer lines can be assembled in the main module or additional modules. An example is a system that can be wheeled through a hospital to service a MRI cryostat.
