Abstract
A magnetic resonance system may include a magnetic resonance magnet and a storage container configured to accommodate the magnetic resonance magnet. The storage container may also contain an endothermic liquid. The magnetic resonance system may further include a ramping-down device configured to trigger releasing electric energy by the magnetic resonance magnet. The first ramping-down device may include an electric energy consumption device configured to consume at least a portion of the released electric energy by the magnetic resonance magnet.
Claims20
A magnetic resonance system, comprising:
- a magnetic resonance magnet;
- a storage container configured to contain the magnetic resonance magnet and an endothermic liquid;
- and
- a ramping-down device including a heater inside the storage container, wherein the magnetic resonance magnet is ramped down by:
- heating, by the heater, the magnetic resonance magnet;
- releasing, by the magnetic resonance magnet, energy when the magnetic resonance magnet is heated by the heater;
- and
- absorbing, by the endothermic liquid, heat caused by the released energy from the magnetic resonance magnet.
A method for ramping down a magnetic resonance magnet contained in a storage container, the storage container containing an endothermic liquid, the method comprising:
- obtaining an environmental condition related to the magnetic resonance magnet;
- determining whether the environmental condition related to the magnetic resonance magnet satisfies a condition;
- and
- in response to a result of the determination that the environmental condition related to the magnetic resonance magnet satisfies the condition, ramping down the magnetic resonance magnet in a mode, wherein the mode includes:
- heating, by a heater, the magnetic resonance magnet, the heater being inside the storage container;
- releasing, by the magnetic resonance magnet, energy when the magnetic resonance magnet is being heated by the heater;
- and
- absorbing, by the endothermic liquid contained in the storage container, heat caused by the released energy from the magnetic resonance magnet.
