Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid Helium Venting

I have a superconducting magnet, cooled with liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. In the event of a quench, the two liquids are released to atmosphere where they immediately vaporize. Where can I find products for the venting to this machine? I'm thinking of some kind of boot to slip over the vent ports, as I don't want to induce vibration in the research equipment.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

you can have several types of vent systems: non-reclosing and reclosing. additionally you can use automatic valving for pressures below the setting of the safety vents. These can recycle the gases to a vapor collection system.

cryogenic valving is availablefor these services, good luck
