A device for supplying cold gases to an NMR installation or analytical apparatus equipped with a measuring probe, with cold gases ensuring the cooling of the sample contained in the probe, but also its lift and rotation, the device including an insulated tank containing liquid gas at boiling point and in which are arranged exchangers through which gas streams to be cooled pass, these exchangers being connected to transfer lines channeling the cooled gases to the probe. The device also includes at least one additional exchanger that ensures a pre-cooling of the gas stream before it is channeled to the corresponding exchanger, with the or each additional exchanger coming in the form of a double-flow exchanger that is supplied either by the gaseous vapor produced by the boiling of the liquid gas in the tank or by the cold gas that is evacuated or that escapes at the probe.

1. A device for supplying three cold gases to an NMR installation or analytical apparatus that is equipped with a measuring probe, with said cold gases ensuring the cooling of the sample that is contained in the probe, but also lift and rotation of the probe, comprising: an insulated tank containing liquid gas at boiling and in which are arranged three heat exchangers through which gas streams that are to be cooled pass, with the exit of each heat exchanger being connected to a corresponding transfer line, said lines being vacuum insulated and channeling the cooled gases exiting the heat exchangers to the probe,three separate additional pre-cooling heat exchangers, which are a first, a second and a third additional pre-cooling heat exchanger, each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger being configured for pre-cooling of one of the three gas streams before said gas stream is channeled to the corresponding heat exchanger, with each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger being a double-flow exchanger, each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger being associated with a corresponding specific heat exchanger, whereinthe three gases are VT cooling gas, bearing gas and drive gas for the sample,each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger is supplied either by i) recovered boil-off gas which is gaseous vapor produced by the boiling of the liquid gas in the tank or by ii) recovered escape gas which is a cold gas that is evacuated outside of the probe or that escapes at the probe, according to a specific allocation pattern of cold sources relative to the additional pre-cooling heat exchangers, that is to saythe first additional pre-cooling heat exchanger, which ensures the pre-cooling of the VT cooling gas designed to cool the sample is supplied with the recovered boil-off gas only, andthe second and third additional pre-cooling heat exchangers, which ensure respectively the pre-cooling of the two dry gases designed to provide respectively the lift and the rotation of the sample, namely the bearing gas and the drive gas, are supplied with the recovered escape gas only. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger is an arrangement of two concentric pipes or tubes, one through which the stream of gas that is to be pre-cooled passes before entering the corresponding heat exchanger, and the other through which the stream of cooling gas formed by the boil-off gas or the escape gas passes, before said gases exit into the environment. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger is a counter-current pre-cooling heat exchanger or an opposed-stream pre-cooling heat exchanger. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the three additional pre-cooling heat exchangers are grouped in a single structural unit, in a form of a single coil that is an interlaced arrangement of three helical tubular formations, each corresponding to one of the three additional pre-cooling heat exchangers. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the additional pre-cooling heat exchangers are housed in an insulated tank, are at least partially arranged in an upper portion of the tank that contains the liquid gas and the heat exchangers, by being mounted in a cover that closes said tank. 6. An NMR measuring installation, of a LT MAS probe configuration, in which the probe is supplied with cold gases ensuring the cooling, the lift, and the rotation of the sample, whereby said installation comprises and/or has a fluid connection to a supply device for supplying cold gases, channeling these gases by means of respectively corresponding supply lines, and wherein the supply device is the device according to claim 1. 7. The installation according to claim 6, further comprising a transfer pipe that is optionally thermally insulated and flexible, designed to channel the gases that are evacuated or that escape from the probe toward the additional pre-cooling heat exchanger(s) in question, and that connects the exhaust pipe of the probe to the tank with liquid gas. 8. The device according to claim 2, wherein each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger is a counter-current pre-cooling heat exchanger or an opposed-stream pre-cooling heat exchanger. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein each additional pre-cooling heat exchanger is an arrangement of two concentric pipes or tubes, the inner tube or pipe of the two concentric pipes through which the stream of gas that is to be pre-cooled passes, and the other through which the boil-off gas or the escape gas pass. 10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the additional pre-cooling heat exchangers are grouped structurally in a single unit, are housed in an insulated tank, and are at least partially arranged in an upper portion of the tank that contains the liquid gas and the exchangers, by being mounted in a cover that closes said tank.
