✦ Synopsis
The possibility of energy saving by compensating heat inputs to liquid helium through current leads and thermal bridges is discussed. This saving is due to a suitable distribution of evaporated helium between current leads (or thermal bridges) and a refrigerator. In the analytical model considered energy savings for current leads compared to the theoretical minimum are of order 10-15°/o, for thermal bridges savings are possible only if the temperature of the hot end is equal to or lower than that of liquid nitrogen.
