Issue

It has been found that if there is slow leakage of refrigerant gas from the superconducting magnet over a long period of time, air ingress into the helium vessel via the leak point may result in ice forming from moisture in the air. In the worst case, if the ice is not eliminated, the helium tank could rupture, resulting in a helium leak.
