Technical Requirements for a Proper MRI Chiller

Technical Requirements for a Proper MRI Chiller

An MRI chiller must be accurate, stable, reliable, and compliant with the strict standards required by imaging environments. GALXC Medical Chillers, designed according to the specifications of Siemens, GE, Philips, and Canon, are considered one of the most trusted cooling solutions for MRI systems.


1. Operating Temperature & Precision Control

A standard MRI chiller must provide:

  • Outlet water temperature: 5–10°C
  • Temperature stability: ±0.5°C

The GALXC MRI Chiller maintains this precision using advanced controls and an EEV valve.


2. Appropriate Cooling Capacity

Depending on MRI type (1.5T / 3T), required capacity is:

  • 10–40 kW, or
  • 3–12 RT

GALXC chillers are engineered precisely within these ranges.


3. Stable Water Circulation System

An MRI chiller must include a pump with:

  • Flow rate: 20–60 L/min
  • Pressure: 2–4 Bar
  • Flow Switch monitoring

GALXC uses medical-grade pumps meeting all MRI cooling loop requirements.


4. Continuous Duty Operation (24/7)

MRI units require 24/7 operation without shutdowns.
GALXC chillers are engineered as Continuous Duty MRI Chillers suitable for nonstop clinical environments.


5. Essential Safety Features

GALXC chillers include:

  • Anti-Freeze protection
  • Stainless steel plate heat exchanger
  • Anti-scale filtration
  • HP/LP refrigeration protections
