Many clinic owners believe that if their MRI scanner is connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the system is completely safe. However, in practice, a UPS often only protects the console and the electronics, while the “power-hungry” component\u2014the cooling system compressor\u2014is left alone to face the harsh realities of the municipal power grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In this article, we will explore why unstable power is the primary enemy of your cryo<\/strong> system and how the Magmon<\/strong> unit helps you detect these issues before it’s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The helium compressor in a GE Healthcare Signa<\/strong> system is a powerful electric motor operating under heavy load 24\/7. To run reliably, it requires near-perfect electrical parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What happens during power fluctuations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the compressor is directly interfaced with the Magmon<\/strong>, the magnet monitor essentially becomes an “oscilloscope” for your electrical grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main problem with “bad electricity” is that it kills equipment slowly. You might not notice the issue for months until the compressor simply burns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cryowatch system changes the rules of the game:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stable power is the “blood” of your cooling system. Remember that repairing or replacing a GE Signa<\/strong> compressor costs dozens of times more than a high-quality industrial voltage stabilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Cryowatch<\/strong> system, you aren’t just watching helium pressure\u2014you are monitoring the entire life-support chain of your MRI, protecting it from the invisible threats lurking in the power outlet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many clinic owners believe that if their MRI scanner is connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the system is completely safe.
