Abstract
Provided is a superconducting coil pre-cooling method for cooling a superconducting coil in a superconducting magnet apparatus including: the superconducting coil; a helium tank; a radiation shield; a vacuum case; and a refrigerator including a first cooling stage and a second cooling stage, a passage being disposed between the refrigerator and the radiation shield. The method includes: a supplying step of supplying a working medium in a gaseous state having a condensation point lower than a condensation point of nitrogen into a refrigerator surrounding tube; a cooling step of cooling the superconducting coil in a tank body by the working medium in the gaseous state that is cooled in the first cooling stage and further cooled in the second cooling stage after passing through the passage; and a discharging step of discharging the working medium that has cooled the superconducting coil in the tank body, out of the vacuum case.
