Applications of scroll chiller for MRI machines

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines are essential tools for healthcare professionals to capture images of internal organs and diagnose medical conditions and disorders. These machines consume a significant amount of energy and generate excess heat, which can damage their internal components. As such, it is crucial to maintain the temperature within specified limits to prevent malfunctioning due to overheating or temperature fluctuations.

Medical chillers, unlike industrial chillers, must be able to handle sudden surges and declines in load. They must be equipped to maintain the temperature of the water during these fluctuations. This requires the use of proper scroll chillers, as opposed to standard industrial chillers. Additionally, operating a quieter MRI chiller can reduce sonic stress for hospital staff and patients1. Hospitals cannot afford malfunctions of MRI machines during medical emergencies or dilemmas, as such incidents can result in significant losses and damage their reputation. Therefore, the use of branded scroll chillers is imperative in the healthcare industry.

Here are the challenges faced in the absence of functional scroll chillers in MRI machines:

  • Chiller unit failures pose a critical threat to MRI functionality, risking helium loss, a costly gas used for High Frequency Magnet insulation.
  • Beyond revenue loss, a non-operational MRI impacts patient care, leading to delays and potential alternative treatment seeking.
  • The scroll chiller’s role in cooling and condensing helium is vital for MRI operation; failure disrupts the MRI machine’s functioning.
