Helium Compressor’s Job in MRI Magnet Cooling
The helium compressor plays a crucial role in the MRI magnet cooling system. Here’s an explanation of its job: In summary, the helium compressor’s primary job is to facilitate the cryocooling process, which helps maintain the superconducting state of the MRI magnet while minimizing helium consumption. This is crucial for the proper functioning and cost-effective […]
Superconduction Magnets
The conductor used in nearly all modern superconducting MR scanners is niobium-titanium (NbTi) that becomes superconductive below 9.4°K. Each wire is composed of multiple NbTi microfilaments embedded in a copper core. The copper core has two functions: 1) to support and protect the delicate microfilaments; and 2) to serve as a low resistance path for large currents […]
