[AMMRL] Coil temp cooling too fast during LNâ‚‚ VT experiments

Dear all,

I’m running a low-temperature experiment on a Bruker Avance II with
a BBO probe, using LNâ‚‚ VT cooling.

During cooldown, I’m purging/aerating the shim stack with dry N₂
(instead of air) to avoid ice formation. However, the temperature around the
shims drops very quickly and gets down to about 5 °C well before the
sample reaches the target temperature of −70 °C. I’m
a bit concerned about overcooling the shim stack and nearby bore components.

I was wondering if you have any recommendations or best practices for keeping
the shim stack above 0 °C while running low-temperature experiments.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Lenny
