A thermal management system for a test-and-measurement probe that includes a thermally insulated shroud and a fluid inlet conduit. The shroud is configured to enclose a first portion of a probe head of the probe within an interior cavity of the shroud, while permitting a second portion of the probe head to extend out of the shroud. The shroud further includes a fluid outlet passageway configured to permit a heat-transfer fluid to pass from a probe-head end of the interior cavity, through the interior cavity of the shroud, and out of the shroud through an access portion of the shroud. The fluid inlet conduit enters the shroud through the access portion of the shroud, extends through the interior cavity of the shroud, and is configured to introduce the heat-transfer fluid to the probe-head end of the interior cavity.

The present invention comprises an arrangement in a borehole. Such an arrangement comprises two tubes, an outer tube and an inner tube being arranged within each other having essentially parallel longitudinal axes. Said outer and inner tubes are connected to incoming and outgoing tubes respectively. The cross sectional area of the inner tube is less than half of the cross sectional area of the outer tube, whereby the outer tube and/or the incoming and outgoing tubes arranged in the borehole are insulated until they reach below a freezing depth of the surrounding media. Said the inner tube is also arranged to end before reaching the bottom end of the outer tube when inserted in the borehole, thus forming a fluid passage between the both tubes at the bottom end of said borehole.
