Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the quantity of helium required to obtain a superconducting action by avoiding the contamination of a superconducting magnet with liquid nitrogen. SOLUTION: The gaseous phase of an ultra-low temperature liquid is cooled through a heat exchanger 28 with an ultra-low temperature liquid (liquid nitrogen) which has a boiling point higher than that of an ultra-low temperature liquid (liquid helium) into which a mass body (superconducting magnetic body) 12 is emmersed. The cooled gaseous phase is circulated, collected, recooled, and recirculated through a vessel 13 housing the mass body 12, until the mass body 12 and container 13 reach a desired precooled temperature. Thereafter, the ultra-low-temperature liquid (liquid helium) is introduced into the vessel for immersing the mass body 12.
