Abstract(in English) We have developed a small liquid helium recycling system for MEG used in a laboratory environment. The system has a separable supplying structure using a liquid helium container in order to avoid the noise increase and to simplify the installation. We conducted an unloaded test of the system using a calorimeter, and found that the stand-alone re-condensation rate was 9.7 L/day. And we also conducted a performance test loaded with 100 L liquid helium container, and found that the re-condensation rate was 7.9 L/day. To evaluate the system in operation with MEG, we measured a noise in MEG, ECD position displacement using an MEG phantom and auditory evoked magnetic fields (AEF). As results, the noise increase in MEG was not observed, the ECD position displacement was not found, and AEF was not influenced by vibrating sound of the system. From these evaluation results, we found that the recycling system with separable liquid helium supplying structure was useful for MEG operation.
