Abstract
Techniques are provided for cooling a magnetic resonance system in a cost-effective and space-saving manner. For this purpose, a magnetic resonance system is proposed which has a superconducting magnetic coil facility, an outer vacuum chamber in which the superconducting magnetic coil facility is arranged, and a first load facility for ramping down the superconducting magnetic coil facility. An electric current is introduced from the magnetic coil facility into the load facility, and the first load facility is arranged within the outer vacuum chamber.
