Coolant gas recovery and reuse from a heat exchanger is automatically interrupted when the oxygen content of the used gas exceeds a predetermined maximum concentration and is recommenced when the oxygen content falls below a predetermined minimum concentration. The mass flow of coolant gas introduced into the passageway is controlled independently of its composition and, during normal operation, the mass flow ratio of coolant gas withdrawn for recovery to coolant gas introduced into the heat exchanger is maintained constant. This ratio can be ramped up to the constant level in a predetermined manner on start up of fiber cooling and following recovery interruption. The invention provides both methods and apparatus and has particular application to Optical Fiber manufacture.

An open architecture recondensing superconducting magnet utilizing an upper and lower cryogen vessel connected by a passageway which extends above the bottom of upper cryogen vessel to discontinue the flow of liquid cryogen through the passageway to reserve liquid cryogen in the upper cryogen vessel when the cryogen level falls to provide an increased ride-through period in the event of a depleting liquid cryogen supply due to failure of the cryogen gas recondenser. A signal is provided to indicate the need to correct the failure.
