Abstract

See full text

A method can be used to perform an operation on a system that includes an assembly and a vessel that includes a wall and a thermal shield. The method can include breaking a thermal connection between the assembly and the thermal shield, separating the assembly and a surface within the vessel from each other, or any combination thereof. The method can also include changing a pressure with the vessel to be closer to atmospheric pressure, heating the assembly, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the method can be performed while keeping a cryogenic region substantially sealed, keeping a superconducting magnet energized, or a combination thereof. In a particular embodiment, the method can be used when servicing the assembly, such as a cryocooler.
