Helium recovery systems

Hello,
We are under pressure to recycle our helium. Our supplier (Physics) uses
about 1000 L of helium per month, most of which is recovered. They would
like to put our seven magnets on their recovery system - three are Oxford,
two are Varian R2D2 and two are Bruker. Has anyone had problems with
helium recovery systems? They mentioned "compressor noise" through the
helium affected a couple of their supercon systems. Would the changing
pressure of the helium line affect the fields of the magnets? They say it
is about 3 inches water pressure.
I did a search of the AMMRL archives, but didn't turn up much. If I get
enough responses about helium recovery systems, I'll post a summary.
Many thanks,
Tim
