Medical Cooling: MRI, CT, PET, Linac

Without proper cooling for a medical imaging device, image quality can degrade, system calibration may drift, downtimes may increase, sensitive components can fail prematurely, and facilities risk cost-effective service interruptions. A properly sized system chiller promises constant heat removal, protecting not only the equipment performance but also a steady workflow with no interruptions.

When selecting a chiller for MRI or CT equipment, several technical factors must be carefully evaluated:

1. Temperature stability

Imaging equipment requires a tight and consistant temperature control. Maintaining a proper operating temperature protects equipment and prevents stress over extended periods of use.

2. Continuous operation

Hospitals or other high traffic facilities may run medical imaging machines 24/7, making Legacy Chillers reliable, low maintencance units essential for your operation.

3. Precise flow control

Improper flow rates can trigger machine alarms or damage components. Our chillers are engineered to match imaging manufacturer specifications. Some medical imaging manufacturer brands include Toshiba, GE, Siemens, and Philips.

4. Quiet Operation

Imaging suites require low noise levels to maintain a comfortable patient environment. Making split-system units with an putdoor condenser, or a centrally located water cooled chiller.

5. Compact footprint

Mechanical rooms in hospitals are often tight, our space-efficient desings help simplify installation.

Proper cooling does more than prevent overheating – it extends the lifespan of mission critical components

By maintaining stable operatin temperatures, chillers help:

• Reduce thermal expansion stress
• Protect high-voltage electronics
• Minimize wear on power modules
• Maintain imaging accuracy
• Reduce unplanned service calls

In high revenue imaging environments, preventing any downtime can justify trusting Legacy Chillers to engineer the perfect cooling system for you.

In medical facilities, downtime isn’t just inconvienient, it impacts patient care and daily operations

Legacy Chillers offers:

• Redundant pump configurations
• Backup compressor options
• Alarms and remote monitoring
• N + 1 sytem design options
• Custom controls and easy to use HMI display 

For imaging centers running multiple MRI or CT systems, we design central chilled water systems to support multiple loads while maintaining precise temperature stability.

Strict cooling requirements are offered by numerous imaging manufacturers. We collaborate closely with equipment suppliers, contractors, and facility engineers to create systems that satisfy:

• Required flow rates
• Entering and leaving water temperatures
• Pressure requirements 
• Glycol compatibility
• Electrical constraints 

Our engineering team can assess your current setup and recommend a chiller that is the right size for your operation, whether you’re replacing an outdated cooling system or upgrading equipment.

Healthcare Facilities require more than just cooling equipment – they require dependable performance and responsive support from a group of trusted individuals. 

Legacy Chillers provides:

• Application-specific engineering
• Industrial-grade components
• High-efficeincy compressor options
