Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention provides remote diagnostic and repair capabilities to helium compressors such that the helium compressor includes communication means allowing it to signal a repair request to, and receive repair orders from, a remote repair provider independently of a local monitoring system .

[0016] figure 2 An arrangement according to the invention is shown comprising a helium compressor in a system further comprising a refrigerator supplied by the helium compressor. exist figure 2 in, with figure 1 Common reference numerals are used for features common to those shown in .

[0017] According to an aspect of the invention, the helium compressor 18 is equipped with a communication device 30 that enables the helium compressor 18 to communicate with the magnet monitoring system 22 along the local communication path 32, and / or along the telecommunications path 42 Communicate with a remote maintenance provider 40 . The local communication path 32 may preferab...

Abstract

The invention discloses a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a helium compressor which includes a communication device for communication with the remote service provider to transmit signals of service request and receive service commands from the remote service provider. The invention allows to inform the remote service provider accurately and rapidly, of cutting of the fault protecting device or any other service operations required by the helium compressor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to superconducting magnet systems, and more particularly to refrigeration systems for cooling superconducting magnets. More particularly, the present invention relates to helium compressors used to operate refrigerators used to cool superconducting magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, and in particular to methods for ensuring proper and efficient maintenance of such helium compressors equipment and methods. Background technique [0002] In a typical refrigeration arrangement for cooling a superconducting magnet, the superconducting magnet is enclosed in a cryostat, which itself usually includes a cryogen vessel and a Thermally isolated external vacuum chamber. In any of a number of known alternative arrangements, the superconducting magnet is typically cooled to a temperature of about 4K by boiling liquid helium. In order to reduce the consumption of helium, and to reduce the rate of boiling, a refrigera...
