Article II. INSTALLATION AND START-UP

1) Outdoor Use: The Heat Exchanger is designed to be installed outdoors, but is suitable
for installation indoors provided the space can dissipate the heat rejected from the
Heat Exchanger.

2) Leveling the Unit: Make sure unit is placed, on a flat, level, hard surface. Heat
Exchanger must be level or less than ½ inch of slope per 10 feet with the electrical box
end of the Heat Exchanger at the high point. Use shims to correct level if needed. If a
concrete slab is utilized, a 4 inch depth is adequate; pad should be at least 5 feet x 12
feet. If mounted on roof, two i-beams runners are typically provided to support feet at
both ends. Heat Exchanger should be anchored from the feet mounting holes at the
four corners of the machine. When mounted above office space, optional vibration
mounting springs can be used to mount the Heat Exchanger and a spring mount will be
provided for both ends of each foot.

3) Proper Spacing: The unit should be located where adequate air circulation is provided
with room for servicing. As a general guideline for units with vertical air discharge (fans
located on top), keep the unit at least 5 feet away from walls and allow at least an 8
foot clearance above the unit.1 For units with horizontal air discharge (fans located on
side), keep the side containing the fans a minimum of 15 feet from the wall. The side
containing the filter should be a minimum of 6 feet from the wall. Avoid placing the
Heat Exchanger under or near eves which may reflect the discharge air back into the
air inlet2. Do not place in a poorly ventilated room. The build-up of high ambient
temperatures can cause compressor and or machine damage3

CAUTION: Heat Exchanger must not be installed more than 65 feet above the heat exchangers and cryro
compressor. The Heat Exchanger pumps can deliver up to 165 feet of head and the heat exchangers and
cryro compressor are rated at 230 feet of head max. If the Heat Exchanger is mounted more than 65 feet
above the heat exchangers and cryro compressor, the maximum allowable pressure on the heat
exchangers and cryro compressor may be exceeded. Consult factory for installations requiring the Heat
Exchanger to be installed more than 65 feet above the Heat Exchanger.

4) Connection of Water Piping: The material and nominal widths of the pipes must be
selected according to KOOLANT KOOLERS specifications. See dimensions in Article VII.
Connect the fluid lines to the proper piping marked "F FLUID INLET TO HEAT
EXCHANGER" and "F FLUID OUTLET FROM HEAT EXCHANGER". Make sure that the flow
of fluid to and from the unit can not be shut off or blocked while the Heat Exchanger is
in operation, and the pipe size matches specifications.

5) Length and Distance of Flow: The maximum equivalent linear feet of total piping
which may be installed external to the Heat Exchanger is 500ft. using 2” plumbing.4
This is total piping which includes the feed and return to the heat exchangers and cryro
compressor. The Heat Exchanger can pump fluid vertically up to 75 feet (usually 6
stories).

1
Do not place in a mezzanine, near a ceiling or in an enclosed room without consulting factory.
2
Note: Placing Heat Exchanger under or near eves that can result in ice damage or damage to
the eve as a result of hot air discharge.
3
If there is a concern about adequate ventilation for the Heat Exchanger please consult the
factory.
4
NOTE: If the equivalent piping exceeds 500’ please contact the factory for assistance. 1-

6) Voltage and Power: Check building power to ensure it matches the Heat Exchanger
rated voltage and current. Voltage and circuit ampacity of the unit can be found on the
data tag which is located on the front of the electrical panel or the electrical drawings.
Connect power leads to main disconnect5.

7) Remote Display: If a remote display (Figure 1) is provided with the unit, install the
provided 150 foot communications cable between the Heat Exchanger electrical panel
and the remote display location. For distances in excess of 150 feet, an optional Long
Distance Remote Display kit is required6. See Initialization of Controller: section for
remote display plug connection point on master controller.

Figure 1
Remote display and communication cable

CAUTION: Heat Exchangers installed with a crankcase heater require the electrical panel
disconnect to be in the “ON” position for a minimum of 8 hours before start-up of unit.
Leaving the Disconnect in the “ON” position maintains power to the compressor crankcase
heater, preventing refrigerant migration and possible damage to system. Power can be off
for 30 minutes for service without observing the 8 hour pre-heat requirement.

8) Units are shipped with refrigeration service valves in the open (back-seated) position
and do not require any adjustments. Service valves should only be adjusted by a
certified technician.

9) Fill Unit: Fill the reservoir through the fill/sight glass. You will know it is properly
filled when water level remains between the two black level markers located on the
sight glass.

CAUTION: Do not allow the fluid pumps to run dry. This will damage the pump seals and
will not be covered under warranty.

5
Wiring should match Heat Exchanger disconnect size and power requirements in accordance
with local codes.
6
Contact the parts department if the distance to remote location exceeds 150ft.

10) Turn On Unit: Once Heat Exchanger reservoir has been filled, proceed to turn the main
power disconnect on located on the electrical box door. Defeat the disconnect handle
to open the electrical box door. Phase monitor light must be green and master
controller alarms should be clear. Turn the system on. See the CONTROLLER
OPERATION for more information on operation of the master controller.
Caution: Electrical Shock Hazard – Use appropriate personal protective equipment rated
for exposure to 460 volts when within 3 feet of open electrical enclosure.

11) If pump motors do not start, check incoming power for correct sequence. If incoming
power is present, check any faults on the master controller. Reset any faults which
may be present.

12) Proceed to run Heat Exchanger pump for five minutes or more to allow any air in the
system to be vented. Check fluid level after air is purged from the piping. Fill
reservoir as needed.

13) Check controller for fault messages. Clear faults that may have occurred during start-
up procedure. If faults do not re-occur, the system is ready for continuous duty.

“Alarm” key and the alarms will be displayed. To view all active alarms,
use the arrow keys to scroll up and down. To clear all inactive alarms,
press and hold the “Alarm” key. At the end of the alarms a page similar
to Figure 9 will be displayed. Press the “Enter” key and you will be
taken to the Alarm Log page where you can view the alarm history. Figure 9

Section 3.07 Sequence of Operation:

Upon system start, with all compressors and pumps enabled a brief delay will occur and then
the pump that didn’t run during the last occurrence will start first. If flow is approved on
either heat exchanger, the pump will continue to run. If no flow is established after a flow
fault delay time, the opposing pump will automatically start. Pumps will rotate once every 24
hours to balance run time.

Once flow is established and cooling demand increases to 25%, the compressor that hasn’t run
in the longest period of time will start. As cooling demand increases to 50%, the compressor in
the alternate compressor set that hasn’t run in the longest period of time will start. At a
cooling demand of 75% and 100% the remaining compressors will stage up. When cooling
demand decreases by 25% from a compressor start percentage, a compressor will cycle off,
compressors drop out in a ‘first in-first out’ sequence. The cooling demand signal is
proportional and integral driven so the cycling of compressors should slowly correct to be
centered about set point.

Article V. WATER TREATMENT

Dimplex Thermal Solutions recommends that an inhibited ethylene glycol or inhibited


propylene glycol solution be used in its Heat Exchangers. Inhibited glycol solutions will prevent
rust in ferrous material systems and it will keep algae and bacteria from growing inside the
system. Use 40-50% glycol for freeze protection. If low toxicity glycol is desired or required,
use an inhibited propylene glycol7.

CAUTION: Do not mix brand names or types of glycol as this may result in the inhibitors
precipitating out of solution. Do not use automotive antifreeze in the Heat Exchanger unit as it can
cause extensive damage to the cooling system. The use of automotive anti-freeze can affect the
heat transfer of the system, fluid flow, and attack the pump seals.

CAUTION: Galvanized piping is not recommended because the zinc will react with the inhibitor in
the fluids, causing precipitate formation, depletion of the inhibitor package, and removal of the
protective zinc coating, particularly above 100ºF. Precipitation can also lead to localized
corrosion.

Dimplex Thermal Solutions offers its own brands of inhibited ethylene glycol called “K-Kool E”
and inhibited propylene glycol “K-Kool P” as a service to its customers. Call 1-800-968-5665
(1-800-YOU-KOOL) and ask for the parts department for more information.

If you have any other questions regarding the use of glycol or other water treatment issues for
your Dimplex Thermal Solutions Heat Exchanger, please contact the factory at 1-800-968-5665
and ask for the service department.

Always refer to the original equipment manufacturers water quality treatment
requirements to which the Heat Exchanger is connected before treating water.

Article VI. MAINTENANCE

The following maintenance procedures should be completed every 4 – 6 months:

Section 6.01 Condenser: Cleaning Air Filters and Condenser


In order for the refrigeration system to perform to its rated capacity, it is very important to keep the
condensing temperature from getting too hot. This usually happens when the condenser is not kept
properly cleaned. The air cooled condensers are supplied with cleanable aluminum air filters, and it is
very important that they be cleaned as necessary to maintain good airflow. Failing to do so will result
in poor unit performance and possible compressor damage.

To clean the filters use a brush, compressed air or wash out with water. To clean the condenser coil
using compressed air, pressure must not exceed 30 psi. Blow air in the opposite direction of the air
flow when Heat Exchanger is in operation.

Section 6.02 Electric Motors


Maintenance for electric motors is required only when these motors are furnished with
grease fittings so they can be greased. If this is the situation, we recommend greasing every
6 months.

Section 6.03 Check Water Quality / Test Glycol Mixture


System fluid should be clean and free of contaminants. Check the inlet and outlet pressure on the
unit for normal pressures. These can be found under the “H HEAT EXCHANGER SPECIFICATIONS”
section. Test the glycol concentration level to ensure levels are within the rated conditions. Refill
tank as needed with pre-mixed glycol to maintain proper concentration.

Section 6.04 Inspect and Clean Fluid Strainer


Fluid Strainers protect the brazed plate heat exchangers from becoming clogged. Inspect and clean
strainers after first hour of operation, after first week of operation, and annually thereafter.

Section 6.05 Inspect Fluid System for Leaks or Loose Connection


Visually check fluid connections for any potential leaks in the system. Ensure there are no plumbing
parts that show any significant wear including chaffing or cracking.

2
Page 15
Section 6.06 Check All Wiring for Loose Connections, Chaffing or Damage
Turn off the main disconnect. Check all wiring inside of electrical panel and inside the Heat
Exchanger unit for loose or damaged wires. Tighten any loose terminals and replace any damaged
wires.

Section 6.07 Inspect and Test Refrigeration System for Leaks


Inspect the inside of the Heat Exchanger unit for any visual evidence of a refrigerant leak. Spots of oil
on the inside of the unit or on the refrigeration lines may signify a potential leak. Have a certified
refrigeration technician inspect the unit for proper operation.

Maintenance as you can see is minimal, but should you have a problem or situation not
described above, please call our service department for assistance at (269) 349-6800.

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential Health Effects

Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and


may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.
Intentional misuse or deliberate inhalation may cause death
without warning. Vapor reduces oxygen available for
breathing and is heavier than air. Liquid contact can cause
frostbite.
6037FR DuPont Page 2
Material Safety Data Sheet

(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)

HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS:

Overexposure to the vapors by inhalation may include


temporary nervous system depression with anesthetic effects
such as dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and
loss of consciousness. Higher exposures to the vapors may
cause temporary alteration of the heart’s electrical
activity with irregular pulse, palpitations, or inadequate
circulation. Gross overexposure may be fatal. Skin contact
with the liquid may cause frostbite.

Individuals with preexisting diseases of the central nervous


or cardiovascular system may have increased susceptibility
to the toxicity of increased exposures.

Carcinogenicity Information

None of the components present in this material at concentrations


equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid

INHALATION

If inhaled, immediately remove to fresh air. Keep person calm.


If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

SKIN CONTACT

Flush area with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water. If


frostbite has occurred, call a physician.

EYE CONTACT

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water


for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

INGESTION

Not a probable route. However, in case of accidental ingestion,


call a physician.

Notes to Physicians

THIS MATERIAL MAY MAKE THE HEART MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO


ARRHYTHMIAS. Catecholamines such as adrenaline, and other
compounds having similar effects, should be reserved for
emergencies and then used only with special caution.

# Flammable Properties

Flash Point : No flash point

Flammable Limits in Air, % by Volume:


LEL : None per ASTM E681
UEL : None per ASTM E681
Autoignition: Not determined

Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition


may occur.

Contact of welding or soldering torch flame with high


concentrations of refrigerant can result in visible changes
in the size and color of torch flames. This flame effect
will only occur in concentrations of product well above the
recommended exposure limit, therefore stop all work and
ventilate to disperse refrigerant vapors from the work area
before using any open flames.

R-407C is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100


deg C (212 deg F) at atmospheric pressure. However,
mixtures of R-407C with high concentrations of air at
elevated pressure and/or temperature can become combustible
in the presence of an ignition source. R-407C can also
become combustible in an oxygen enriched environment (oxygen
concentrations greater than that in air). Whether a mixture
containing R-407C and air, or R-407C in an oxygen enriched
atmosphere becomes combustible depends on the
inter-relationship of 1) the temperature 2) the pressure,
and 3) the proportion of oxygen in the mixture. In general,
R-407C should not be allowed to exist with air above
atmospheric pressure or at high temperatures; or in an
oxygen enriched environment. For example: R-407C should
NOT be mixed with air under pressure for leak testing or
other purposes.

Experimental data have also been reported which indicate


combustibility of HFC-134a, a component in this blend, in
the presence of chlorine.

Extinguishing Media

As appropriate for combustibles in area.

Fire Fighting Instructions

Cool cylinder with water spray or fog. Self-contained


breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if cylinders rupture
and contents are released under fire conditions. Water
runoff should be contained and neutralized prior to release.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)


sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.

Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area, especially low or enclosed places where


heavy vapors might collect. Remove open flames. Use
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for large spills
or releases.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)

Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid liquid contact with eyes and


skin. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee
exposure below recommended limits. Contact with chlorine or
other strong oxidizing agents should also be avoided. See
Fire and Explosion Data section.

Storage

Clean, dry area. Do not heat above 52 deg C (125 deg F).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls

Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with skin or eyes.


Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee exposure
below the recommended exposure limit. Local exhaust should
be used if large amounts are released. Mechanical
ventilation should be used in low or enclosed places.

Personal Protective Equipment

Impervious gloves should be used to avoid prolonged or


repeated exposure. Chemical splash goggles should be
available for use as needed to prevent eye contact. Under
normal manufacturing conditions, no respiratory protection
is required when using this product. Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if a large release
occurs.

Setting up Test Voltage Mode
Before you power on a P266 control and enable the
Test Voltage mode on the control:
1. Read and follow the guidelines and procedures in
the Mounting and Wiring sections.
2. Mount and wire the P266 control in your condenser
application and observe these additional
guidelines:
• Refer to the label inside the P266 control
housing cover for model-specific wiring details.
See Wiring for some wiring options.
• Wire the auxiliary and main windings according
to the motor manufacturer’s instructions and
your application requirements. Split the
windings (at the winding leads) and power
them separately, if your application and motor
allow for split-winding operation. See Figure 3
and Figure 4.

Troubleshooting Guide

Possible Cause Possible Solution

• PROBLEM: Low Water Flow

1) Strainer clogged 1) Back-flush or manually clean the coil strainer.

2) Wrong location 2) Make sure the valve is in the proper location with the correct GPM.

3) Low system pressure 3) If possible, check the pressure at the hook-up supply and return
valves. The drop through the coil and ATC valve may be too large
for the available head.

4) Balance valve plugged 4) The AutoFlow valve may have debris. Remove cartridge, clean and
replace.

5) ATC valve port closed or wrong Cv 5) Make sure the ATC is wide open and has proper Cv.

6) System valve is partially closed 6) Open all manual system valves.

• PROBLEM: High Water Flow

1) Wrong location 1) Make sure the valve is in the proper location with the correct GPM.

2) System pressure too high 2) Check the differential pressure across the AutoFlow valve. If larger
then 32 psi, close the return-side ball valve until the difference is less
then 32 psi. The spring range on the cartridge could be changed to 5-60
psi which will also solve the problem.

3) AutoFlow valve backward 3) Check the flow arrow and reverse valve if necessary.

• PROBLEM: Noise or Vibration

1) AutoFlow valve clicking or noisy a) Check the Delta P across the AutoFlow valve. If at or near the
maximum, it may be necessary to replace the cartridge with a different
spring range.

b) Make sure the air is purged from the system. Air can cause a clicking
noise. WS valves require air purging on each side of the
mid-plate.

c) Two AutoFlow valves close coupled in series can cause pulsing.

1–6 PRODUCT DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS


Note
Two or more people are required to accept delivery of equipment due to weight and size of
cabinets and other components.
The “Shipping Document” lists catalog numbers delivered. Review and confirm that order is delivered complete. Check
impact on installation schedule if Catalogs and/or packing boxes are missing and/or noted as shipped short.
Labels that are attached to the outside of packing boxes summarize box contents. The labels are color coded for
different installation areas as follows:
 Green – Equipment Room
 Purple – Operator’s Room
 Orange – Magnet Room
 Yellow – Post–installation (Phantoms, Coils).
“Product Delivery Instructions” (PDI) specify box contents, part numbers, and shipping procedure. The PDI is
numbered according to the catalog number (for example, PDI – M3333TA is for the Fixed Site Installation Kit). Lists of
items included with each box are detailed by separate checklists, or a separate sheet that provides a summery of that
box contents. Refer to PDI and packing lists for information specific to your shipment.
A set of service and operator manuals is delivered with the Fixed Site Kit. Refer to checklists packed with “Technical
Publication” boxes for a list of delivered documents.

1–7 DAMAGE IN TRANSPORTATION


All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is apparent, have notation “damage in
shipment” written on all copies of the freight or express bill before delivery is accepted or “signed for” by a General
Electric representative or a hospital receiving agent. Whether noted or concealed, damage MUST be reported to the
carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event, within 14 days after receipt, and the contents and containers held
for inspection by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a claim for damage if an inspection is not requested

1–8 PRODUCT LOCATOR


The Global Install Base Database (also known as Product Locator System) tracks shipment, trans–shipment, and field
location of the serialized models. There are now two methods for submitting Product Locator information.
1. At this time, for U.S. ONLY, the preferred method of submitting information is the FE Site Verification Web Site at:
http://gein2.med.ge.com/gib
The FE Site Verification consists of three components that are available on the web from the main menu. They
are:
 Install/deinstall product locator model and serial numbers
 Add/modify ship to address information
 Update CARES FE data for primary/secondary FEs
To obtain a copy of the FE training tutorial for using this website, a downloadable copy is available at the following:
Product Locator Support Central Page – http://supportcentral.ge.com/15563
2. One “Shipping Card” is filled out and submitted when shipped (extra cards are supplied for trans–shipments be-
tween storage and distribution points), and the “Installation Card” and extra shipment cards are attached.
Verify that serial and model number on each rating plate matches installation card numbers before removing installation
card. Note that there may be one or more shipment cards and bar code labels with the installation card. These shipment
cards are used to trace the transfer of serialized units between various inventory storage and distribution points until the
product reaches its final installation destination. Process just the installation card and discard any extra shipment cards
and labels.

1–9 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1–9–1 Installation Flow


Note
All on–site construction must be completed before equipment is delivered and installation starts.
Attempting to install the system while construction is being completed will impact installation
efficiency and further delay site completion. Making sure that all preinstallation and construction work
is completed before equipment is delivered will usually result in an earlier turnover date.
The flow chart on the next page should be followed for an orderly and efficient installation of the Pre–magnet delivery
components of the system being installed. Note that many procedures may be performed in parallel and may be
performed in any order according to the specific situation of each site.
Note
The flow chart references the Tab number and/or Section number for the respective installation
procedures. These procedures are similar to cable maps in that they are to be removed from this
binder and used at the location where hardware installation is being performed. The Procedures must
be returned to the binder for future reference upon completion of the installation.
This installation flowchart has been developed assuming that all components for this part of the installation have been
delivered together. Make sure that every part required is available before starting.

6. Attach ground wire to the ground stud in the power box. The incoming main electrical ground shares the same
stud. The cryogen compressor ground terminal should be placed on the stud with a nut between it and the main
electrical ground. This ensures the main electrical ground will never be lifted if the cryogen compressor ground
ever needs to be removed.
IMPORTANT! The cryogen compressor is phase sensitive. Make sure L1, L2, and L3 are connected
appropriately at the cryogen compressor and that the incoming main electrical wires to the HEC are wired to the
correct L1, L2, and L3 locations inside the HEC power box.
7. Route the L1, L2, and L3 cryogen compressor power cord wires to circuit breaker.
8. Insert the stripped ends of the wires into the bottom of the indicated breaker labeld CRY CB in the HEC power
box. The wire sequence, from left to right, is L1, L2, L3. Tighten screws and inspect that each wire is clamped
securely to the circuit breaker.

6.1 Acoustic Specifications
The following table lists the acoustic output of GE Healthcare equipment:
Table 2-5: Acoustic Specifications (Under Ambient Conditions)

GE Equipment Acoustic Output Notes

Control Room 62 dBA

Equipment Room 80 dBA The 80 dBA level is for GE equipment only.


The Equipment room acoustic level must
not exceed 85 dBA

Magnet Room See Chapter 3, Acoustic Room Specifications

The customer must use acoustic noise containment solutions to control leakage of acoustic
noise from one room to the next. Refer to Chapter 7, Acoustic Background and Design
Guidelines for guidance to contain the noise within the magnet room.
NOTE: All GE equipment acoustic output values are for base equipment configuration in each
room.
6.2 Structureborne Vibration Control Specifications
Structureborne acoustic issues tend to occur at MR installations above the ground floor of the
facility. Two options to mitigate structureborne acoustic transmission are:
1. GE Healthcare provides a VibroAcoustic Dampening kit (which must be surface mounted).
Contact the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation for information
2. The customer may design and implement a custom solution in addition to the VibroAcoustic
Dampening kit (see Illustration 2-3 for the plot of spectral vibration transmitted through the
VibroAcoustic mat into the floor. If required, the customer should consult an acoustic
engineer for a solution to further attenuate this transmitted vibration)

NOTE: The amount of vibration attenuation provided by the VibroAcoustic Dampening kit will
be site dependent.

Illustration 2-4: Low Frequency Magnet Floor Vibration (Vibration Amplitude at Each Foot)

NOTE: Low Frequency Magnet Floor Vibration Notes:


1. Illustrations above define the potential vibration level that may pass into the
customer site. Illustration 2-3 is the high frequency audible vibration. Illustration
2-4 is low frequency vibration that may dynamically displace the floor
2. Vibration transfer may be the result of customer specific building construction as
low levels of vibration transmit into the building via air- and structureborne paths.
Customer MR clinicians recognize the vibration defined in the tables is typically
short bursts of vibration repeated multiple times as the scan progresses
3. The customer should consider the impact of this vibration for evaluation and
design solution

The following illustrations show the static magnet isogauss plot lines for a 3.0Tmagnet. This
information must be used to evaluate potential site interaction of GE Healthcare equipment with
other non-GE Healthcare equipment, interaction with magnetic materials on the site, and to
locate personnel and equipment within the site.
The 5 gauss line can expand to 19.7 ft (6.0 m) axially and 14.8 ft (4.5 m) radially for up to 8
seconds in the rare event of a quench.
The isogauss plots show an idealized magnetic field relative to magnet isocenter. The actual
field strength can be affected by any of the following:
• Magnetic shielding

• Earth's magnetic field

• Other magnetic fields

• Stationary or moving metal

7.2 Interference from Changing Magnetic Fields


Metal objects moving within the magnet sensitivity lines can produce a field disturbance during
clinical imaging. If the metal object is moving it will produce a fluctuating dipole type of field
which causes image artifacts. As an example, a car driven inside the moving metal line will act
as a dipole and produce a time varying field which changes the magnet's main field during the
imaging time. The same vehicle may park within the moving metal line and remain parked
during clinical scanning without impact to the main field.

Chapter 3 Magnet Room


1 Magnet Room Introduction
The Magnet Room is best understood as a series of layers, or “rooms within a room.” Each of
these rooms has a specific function and associated requirements. All requirements in this
chapter must be followed to ensure safe and proper operation of the MR system.
1. The Magnetic shielded room contains the MR Magnet fringe field within a confined space. A
site survey is required to determine magnet shield requirements (not all sites require
magnetic shielding). Because of the added cost of magnetic shielding, room location should
be carefully considered.
2. The Acoustic room is a layer used to help attenuate the noise produced during a scan. An
acoustic engineer is strongly recommended to assess the environment.
3. The RF Shielded room is critical to the proper MR system operation. RF shielding prevents
interaction of external RF radiation with MR system operation and it also prevents MR
system RF radiation from interfering with external systems, such as aircraft control. Special
care must be used when installing all fixtures penetrating the RF shield (e.g., vents,
electrical conduit, penetration panels) to ensure the integrity of the RF shield is maintained.
4. The Finished room includes the wall coverings, ceiling tile, ceiling grid, other fixtures,
Magnet (MAG) and Patient Table (PT). When planning the finished room, ensure the
following:
a. All building codes are met (such as maintaining egress routes)
b. Items which may generate or create RF interference (including florescence lighting) are
not allowed for installation within the Magnet room
c. Customer is responsible for the selection and installation of all locally required safety
devices (e.g., smoke detectors, oxygen monitors, etc.)
d. Ferrous or metallic items which could become projectiles when the magnet is installed
(including wall coverings, ceiling tile, ceiling grid, or other fixtures) are not used or
properly secured

2 Magnet Room Structural Requirements


This section lists the structural requirements that must be considered when performing site
evaluation and planning of the Magnet room.
2.1 Overview
1. When preparing a building plan or evaluating a potential site for an MR system, care should
be taken to ensure the MR suite will not interact with the surrounding environment (i.e.,
magnetic, acoustic, environmental steel, and vibration)
2. The customer is responsible for vibration testing required to verify suitability of a proposed
site. All test results and any questions regarding testing, results, or analysis must be
forwarded to the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI)
2.2 Environmental Steel Limits
A static magnetic field extends in a three-dimensional space around the magnet isocenter.
Environmental steel within the static magnetic field affects the uniformity (or homogeneity) of the
field. Field uniformity is critical to both image quality and chemical shift analysis (spectroscopy).
An analysis of the environmental steel is required within a 5 feet (1.524 meters) spherical radius
of the magnet isocenter. Environmental steel includes ferrous pipes, beams, concrete rebar, or
any other structural steel in the floors, walls, or ceiling.
The following floor items must be limited per Table 3-2.
1. Non-movable steel construction material such as rebar and metal decking
2. Existing or proposed RF/magnetic shielding or shim plates
3. Table 3-2 defines the limits of use as a guideline to help the customer understand allowable
amounts of ferrous rebar, steel decking, or other components as they design the MR suite
and magnet room floor structure
4. The customer must provide detail defining ferrous material below the magnet to the Project
Manager so the GE Healthcare MR Siting and Shielding team can review for compliance.

2.3 Vibration Requirements


Excessive vibration can affect MR image quality. Vibration testing must be performed early in
the site planning process to ensure vibration is minimized. Both steady state vibration (exhaust
fans, air conditioners, pumps, etc.) and transient vibrations (traffic, pedestrians, door slamming,
etc.) must be assessed (see Illustration 3-2). Specific requirements for vibration mitigation,
include:
1. The Magnet (MAG) cannot be directly isolated from vibration. Any vibration issue must be
resolved at the source
2. MR Suite HVAC must have vibration isolation
3. A vibration analysis must be performed at the proposed site with the results (and any
mitigation) forwarded to the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI). See the
Chapter 7, MR Site Vibration Test Guidelines
4. A transient vibration test must only be performed after a steady-state test has been
performed and all steady-state sources of vibration have been mitigated
5. Transient vibration levels above the specified limits in the Chapter 7, MR Site Vibration Test
Guidelines must be analyzed
6. Any transient vibration that causes vibration to exceed the steady-state level must be
mitigated
7. Vibration test consultant must account for non-mechanically induced signals such as test
equipment instabilities, thermal drift or RF interference

3 Magnetic Shielded Room Requirements


NOTICE
All sites, including upgrade sites, must be evaluated for magnetic shielding
requirements. Existing magnetic shielding at an upgrade site may not be
sufficient for the new system. Contact the GE Healthcare Project Manager of
Installation (PMI) to request a site evaluation.
Magnetic shielding prevents interaction between the magnet and nearby sensitive devices.
Because of the added cost of magnetic shielding, room location should be carefully considered
(not all sites require magnetic shielding). See Chapter 2, MR Suite Magnetic Field Specifications
for detailed magnetic proximity limit information.
1. The GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI) works with the customer to
coordinate the magnetic shielding site evaluation
2. If required, the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI) coordinates the delivery
of the magnetic shielding design

5 RF Shielded Room Requirements


5.1 RF Shielded Room Purpose
The RF shielded room is critical to the proper clinical operation of the MR system. RF shielding
attenuates the external RF electromagnetic fields. Low RF environments present lower risk to
RF impacts to image quality. The RF shielding must also prevent the MR system RF emissions
from interfering RF receiving systems such as other MR systems, aircraft control and
communication systems.
RF shielding requirements consider the current RF environment at the site as well as future
conditions, such as expansion, with the addition or upgrade of multiple MR systems, as well as
changes to the RF environment at the time of installation. The RF shielding requirement also
considers the expected degradation over time from the RF shielded room from corrosion and
use.
The overall RF shielding performance aims to address:
1. IEC EMC Regulatory Compliance
2. MR Clinical image quality for the life of the product
5.2 RF Definitions

Broadband Interference
Broadband interference is caused by electrical discharge within the Magnet room. Potential
sources of interference can be reduced by limiting static discharge, ensuring all metal-to-metal
contact is tight and secure, and ensuring all electrical and grounding requirements are met.
Discrete Interference
Discrete interference is fixed-frequency, narrowband RF noise. Potential sources of discrete
interference are radio station transmitters and mobile RF transmitting devices. Magnet room RF
shielding prevents external RF energy from entering the room and degrading the MR system RF
receivers.
Electromagnetic Environment
The totality of electromagnetic phenomena existing at a given location.
Plane Wave
An electromagnetic wave which predominates in the far-field region from an antenna (or
source), and with a wave front which is essentially a flat plane.
Penetration
The passage through a partition or wall of an equipment or enclosure by a wire, cable, pipe,
waveguide, or other conductive object.
Shield
A housing, screen, or cover which substantially reduces the coupling of electric and magnetic
fields into or out of circuits or prevents the accidental contact of objects or persons with parts or
components operating at hazardous voltage levels.

70 5 RF Shielded Room Requirements


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

Shielding Enclosure (Faraday Cage)


An area (box, room, or building) specifically designed to attenuate electromagnetic radiation, or
electromagnetic radiation and acoustical emanations, originating either inside or outside the
area.
Shielding Effectiveness (SE)
A measure of the reduction or attenuation in the electromagnetic field strength at a point in
space caused by the insertion of a shield between the source and that point.
Primary Ground
All RF Shield components (walls, floor, ceiling, etc) must be electrically bonded together to form
one common ground plane which is connected to the Facility Grounding Conductor
Secondary Ground
Other grounds that connect the outside of the RF Shield room to earth grounds are called
secondary grounds
5.3 Customer Responsibilities
The Customer is responsible for:
1. The selection of a quality RF shielded room vendor who understands the RF shielding room
purpose described in Section 5.1.
2. Contracting with a RF shielded room vendor to design and install (including installation of
dock anchor) the RF shielded room to meet requirements in Section 5.4.
3. Maintenance and repair of RF shielded room, to include, but not limited to, shielding
effectiveness (SE), door threshold and door seal, pressure equalization vent operation for
the life of the MR System.

NOTE: • On request, the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI) can supply a
list of RF shielding room vendors.

• The RF shielded room may not be in a temperature or humidity controlled


environment, the customer must take local measures to prevent RF shield
effectiveness degradation.

• Special care should be used when installing all fixtures penetrating the RF shield
(e.g., vents, electrical conduit, penetration panels, etc.) to ensure the integrity of
the RF shielded room is maintained.
5.4 Requirements
5.4.1 RF Shield Requirements
1. The RF shielded room with installed blank penetration panels shall provide a minimum of
100 dB of shielding effectiveness (SE) for the entire room at the following frequencies:

2 MR System Interconnects Routing Requirements


2.1 General Requirements
1. The customer is responsible for the purchase and installation of all cable support
mechanisms
2. Any type of nonferrous cable support may be used, such as commercially available ladder
or wire rack style cable trays, provided the cable trays meet all MR system requirements
3. The distance between cable supports must be less than 12 in. (305 mm). For example, the
distance between rungs on a ladder tray, or the distance from the end of a cable tray to a
final nonferrous cable support must be 12 in. (305 mm) or less
4. The cable supports must have the minimum cable bend radius per MR System Cable
Specifications. For example, the vertical and horizontal bends of the gradient cables must
have a bend radius of 13 in. (330 mm)
5. Cable supports may be stacked or side-to-side
6. Cables must be accessible on at least one side of the cable support and require a minimum
of 10 in. (254 mm) from the top of the tray. (For example, see Illustration 6-4.) If this is not
possible due to obstructions, see the exceptions below
7. All individual cable supports (e.g. rungs) require lateral support to maintain the positions
specified in the illustrations both during installation and after installation of the interconnects
(e.g. cables).

Exceptions for Obstructions:


1. The top of the cable tray must not touch an obstruction. A minimum of 10 in. (254 mm) of
clearance is required on either side of the obstruction. See Illustration 6-1.
2. A minimum of 7 in. (178 mm) of clearance is required from the top of the tray rung to the
lowest point of any obstruction. The illustration below.

NOTE: The illustration below shows how to route cable trays around HVAC ducts, light
fixtures, medical gases, structural beams, and other obstructions. If local code
permits, a tray with a bend can route the cables underneath an obstruction. At the
rear of the magnet, the cable tray must be installed at the minimum height. The part of
the cable tray that is under the obstruction can be installed at a lower height. The tray
bend must provide the minimum cable bend radius.

2.2 Magnet Room Requirements


1. Two cable trays must be used, each at least 18 in. (457 mm) wide
2. Installation and routing of cable trays must be coordinated with the RF shield vendor
3. Side-to-side trays in the Magnet room must not touch to prevent RF broadband noise
caused by metal-to-metal sidewall contact
4. If trays are stacked, the air, water, and cryogen lines must be run in the lower support (see
Illustration 6-2)
5. Each cable tray must support a weight of at least 50 lbs/ft (74.8 kg/m)
NOTE: If stacked, each cable tray must support the weight of both cable trays: i.e., 100
lbs/ft (149.6 kg/m)
6. Ceiling grid work, medical gas lines, lighting fixtures, etc. must not touch MR system cabling
or cable supports
7. Excess cable length in the Magnet room must be stored in either:
a. Penetration Panel closet
b. Magnet room cable trays (excess cable must be at least 36 in. (915 mm) from the
magnet end of the tray)

2.2.1 Recommended Cable Groupings


We recommend the grouping order shown below. The cable groups must not touch. Local code
may require dividers, channeling, bundling, etc.

2 MR Site Vibration Test Guidelines


2.1 Test Measurements
1. Vibration measurements must be in the range of 10-6 g. Test equipment must have the
required sensitivity to these levels
2. Instrumentation must have a low tolerance to temperature effects since many times the low
frequency thermal drift may influence the measurements
3. All measured data must be acquired real time. Recording of vibration data will not allow for a
proper site survey, specifically when studying transient vibration and when searching for
specific vibration sources
4. All analyses must be narrow-band Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) over the frequency bands
listed in Table 7-1
5. Time histories of the vibration must be recorded as acceleration levels vs. time. The
resolution of the time history must be adjusted to clearly capture the transient event. The
analyzer set-up will be site dependent and, in special cases, vibration response dependent.
It is the responsibility of the vibration consultant to study the transient environment, capture
data to confirm that transient activity exceeds the trigger level, then expand the time history
data to exhibit the structural response

Table 7-1: Frequency Bands for FFT

Frequency Band Frequency Resolution

0.2 to 50 Hz Δf= 0.125 Hz

2.2 Equipment (Spectral Analyzer) Set-Up


1. Frequency average should be a minimum of 20 linear averages (Do not use peak hold or
1/3 octave analysis)
2. Average and store should be a minimum of 20 plots steady state and 20 plots transient to
support the consistency of the site vibrations
3. Hanning windows must be applied to the entire spectra
4. Spectrum analyzers capable of these measurements are readily available for purchase or
rental. Models, such as the HP 3560A, Nicolet Phaszer, B&K Pulse, and HP 35670, are all
capable of making the site vibration measurements. Accelerometers must have the
capability to measure from 0.2 Hz beyond 50 Hz. Time histories can be recorded using any
of the analyzers listed above
NOTE: The equipment mentioned is for example only. It is the responsibility of the
Engineering Test Firm to provide equipment that will allow measurements
compliant with this guideline.

154 2 MR Site Vibration Test Guidelines


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

2.3 Data Collection


2.3.1 Ambient Baseline Condition
1. All of the measurements listed above must be made in a “quiet” environment--i.e., areas
where excessive traffic, subway trains, etc. do not exist. A vibration measurement must also
be made during periods without traffic or during periods of light traffic. Measurements must
define the lowest levels of vibration possible at the site
2. The source of any steady state vibration, whose level exceeds the magnet specifications
found in Chapter 3, Magnet Room Structural Requirements, must be identified. A second
measurement should be made with all of the identified contributors powered down if
possible. In situations where it is not possible to power down equipment, vibration data must
be collected to identify the specific source of the vibration concern. The majority of steady
state vibration problems can be negated by isolating the vibration source
2.3.2 Normal Condition
1. All of the vibration measurements listed above must be repeated during periods of “normal”
environmental conditions, including the FFTs and time histories. The transient
measurements must be provided to define the dynamic disturbances the MR system may be
exposed to. Transient analysis is required for a true assessment of the site
2. Special attention must be paid to the site assessment during the entire analysis. Since
transient vibration is not easily addressed once the MR suite is fully constructed, the test
consultant must fully understand the needs for this analysis. The source of any transient
vibration must be identified and supported with vibration plots. If the source of any transient
vibration is not locatable, it is recommended that the customer have an alternate location
identified and the vibration studied
3. Transient vibration can be difficult to assess if the details are not understood. The 0.0005g,
zero-to-peak trigger level is a starting point to understanding the vibration stability. The
transient vibration peak amplitude, structural (time variant) response, decay rate and an
estimate of the number of events per unit of time would constitute a complete transient
analysis. All transient failures must be supported by time history plots. The plots must clearly
show the structural response, the frequency of the signature and the decay rate. From this
data, GE Heatlhcare can help determine compliance with the vibration guidelines
4. The test consultant must provide site data to show the design recommendations for all sites/
building structures meet the Magnet specifications found in Chapter 3, Magnet Room
Structural Requirements
2.4 Presentation/Interpretation of Results
1. The recommended format for site vibration data collection, presentation, and analysis is
demonstrated in the examples in Illustration 7-1, Illustration 7-2, Illustration 7-3, and
Illustration 7-4. Presentation of the data in any other format (linear units only) may result in
incorrect interpretation and diagnosis of the site. Additional data collection or presentation
methods are at the option of the vibration testing service
2. All plots must be properly annotated with:
a. Instrumentation setup including number of averages, frequency resolution, etc.

b. Test location
c. Test conditions:
i. Steady state

iii. Heel drop

determine if that site meets GE Healthcare specifications
4. If the vibration levels are too high, additional data acquisition may be necessary to:
a. Determine the source of the vibration
b. Propose a solution to the problem
c. Find an alternate site location
5. Any questions regarding test equipment requirements, test parameters, or general questions
should be discussed with the GE Healthcare Project Manager of Installation (PMI)

3 RF Shielding Guidelines
RF sources which can adversely affect image quality may be generated by discrete frequency
or broadband noise (RF) sources.
3.1 Discrete RF Interference
Discrete RF interferences are narrowband and are fixed frequency in nature. The Magnet Room
must be RF shielded from RFI sources so external RF energy does not degrade the MR system
RF receivers at the system imaging frequencies. Some potential sources for discrete frequency
signals are radio station transmitters, mobile or hand-held RF transmitting devices, in general
any intended RF transmitter or non-intended transmitters but with clocked digital electronic
circuits.
3.2 Broadband RF Interference
Broadband RF noise is a single transient or continuous series of transient disturbances caused
by an electrical discharge. Low humidity environmental conditions will have higher probability of
electrical discharge. The electrical discharge can occur due to electrical arcing (micro arcing) or
merely a static discharge. Some potential sources capable of producing electrical discharge
include:
1. Loose hardware/fasteners vibration or movement (electrical continuity must always be
maintained)
2. Flooring material including raised access flooring (panels & support hardware) and carpeting
3. Electrical fixtures, including:
a. Lighting fixtures
b. Track lighting
c. Emergency lighting
d. Battery chargers
e. Outlets
4. Ducting for HVAC and cable routing
5. RF Shield seals (walls, doors, windows, etc.)

4 RF Shielding Effectiveness and Ground Isolation Testing


4.1 Ambient Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
The MR System operates with a highly sensitive RF receiving front end to be able to capture the
signal of an object scanned. A Limited level of RF interference (RFI) at the installation site is
needed for the proper operation for the MR System. The RFI level will depend on the
electromagnetic environment and the equipment installed at the vicinity of the installation site,
some examples are radio stations, land mobile radio transmitter stations. RF sources which can
adversely affect image quality may be generated by discrete frequency or broadband noise (RF)
sources.
4.2 Introduction
4.2.1 Discrete RF Interference
Discrete RF interferences are narrowband and fixed frequency. The Magnet Room must be RF
shielded from RFI sources so external RF energy does not degrade the MR system RF
receivers at the system imaging frequencies. Some potential sources for discrete frequency
signals are radio station transmitters, mobile or hand-held RF transmitting devices, in general
any intended RF transmitter or non-intended transmitters but with clocked digital electronic
circuits.
4.2.2 Broadband RF Interference
Broadband RF noise is a single transient or continuous series of transient disturbances caused
by an electrical discharge. Low humidity environmental conditions will have higher probability of
electrical discharge. The electrical discharge can occur due to electrical arcing (micro arcing) or
merely a static discharge. Some potential sources capable of producing electrical discharge
include:
1. Loose hardware/fasteners vibration or movement (electrical continuity must always be
maintained)
2. Flooring material including raised access flooring (panels & support hardware) and carpeting
3. Electrical fixtures, including:
a. Lighting fixtures
b. Track lighting
c. Emergency lighting
d. Battery chargers
e. Outlets
4. Ducting for HVAC and cable routing
5. RF Shield seals (walls, doors, windows, etc.)
4.2.3 Ambient Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Site Survey
When a RFI site survey is considered, it is recommended to be completed before the purchase
and installation of the RF shielded room.

162 4 RF Shielding Effectiveness and Ground Isolation


Testing

Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

1. The ambient RFI measured should be less than 100 millivolt per meter (100 dB microvolt per
meter)
2. The recommended centerband and bandwidth frequencies to be used when measuring RFI
are listed in the table below. (This table includes frequency bands important for both imaging
and spectroscopy):
Table 7-2: Radio Frequency Survey Specifications

Isotope Bandcenter MHz Bandwidth Hz


1
H 127.72 681,183

F 120.23 641,229

P 51.75 276,010
23
Na 33.80 180,291
13
C 32.13 171,335

3. RFI site surveys are to be performed by cycling through the preceding frequency bands and
a broad band range up to 145 MHz ± 10 MHz . Special emphasis, however, should be
placed on the 1H band since this is used in proton imaging. The RFI site survey should be
performed for a length of time necessary to determine, within a reasonable degree of
certainty, the maximum field strength.
To ensure that RF noise peaks outside the bandwidths specified above do not actually
extend into these bandwidths and exceed the 100 millivolt per meter limit, adjust the
resolution of the test equipment (spectrum analyzer) according to the equation:

BW (resolution) = f0 /50
where: BW = Bandwidth (resolution)
f0 = Center frequency (for 1H: at 3.0 Tesla 127.72 MHz)
4.3 RF Shielding Effectiveness (SE) and Ground Isolation Test Methods
The shielding effectiveness test method defined within this appendix is in accordance with
methods and requirements from IEEE Std 299-2006 - IEEE STANDARD METHOD FOR
MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING ENCLOSURES.
4.3.1 Introduction
This appendix provides details on shielding Effectiveness (SE) the test method. MRI scanner is
highly sensitive to RF energy from sources outside of the RF shielded room. To ensure proper
operation of the MRI scanner, the RF shielded room is installed to reduce the interaction of
external RF electromagnetic fields with the MR scanner operation (it also prevents MR system
RF radiation from interfering with external RF systems, such as aircraft control).
NOTE: Impinging Electromagnetic fields at the frequencies to test the RF shielded room may
not be planar.
4.3.2 Test Set-Up for RF Shielded Room
The RF shielded room is set up for shielding effectiveness testing with a normal configuration
consisting of:

Chapter 7 Appendices 163


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

1. Magnet installed including all floor mounting bolts (including dock anchor bolt)
2. RF shielded door(s)
3. Waveguide penetrations, HVAC, vents, medical gas lines, etc.
4. AC power supplied through low-pass filters
5. Patient view window, skylights, windows, hatches, etc.
6. Frames and blank penetration panels installed, dimensionally equivalent to the GE panel
and the same mounting hardware to be used with the GE penetration panel.

NOTE: A GE Field Engineer is responsible for disconnecting cryocooler lines. For safety
reasons, the enclosure will be electrically grounded during the shielding effectiveness
test. Any variances from the normal configuration will be noted in the RF shield test
report
4.3.3 Shielding Effectiveness (SE)
The final shielding effectiveness performance of the RF shielded room is determined based on
the lowest measurement of all test point locations.
4.3.4 Reference Level and Dynamic Range
1. The reference level is the value of signal measured by the receiver equipment with the
receiving antenna located at a prescribed distance from the transmit antenna and located
outside of the shielded enclosure
2. The dynamic range (DR) is the range of amplitudes over which the receive system operates
linearly. The dynamic range must be at least 6 dB greater than the SE to be measured. For
SE measurement, the dynamic range is the difference of the reference level to the noise
floor
4.3.5 Test Equipment
1. Test equipment must be selected to provide measuring capabilities as described in this test
method
2. Any piece of equipment, whose operation directly affects the numerical value of the
Shielding Effectiveness (SE), must be in calibration before any critical measurements are
begun. Dates of calibration traceable to a national standard must be provided in the test
report (see Section 4.3.9 for test report requirements) and must be within the calibration
cycle of the equipment. The calibration cycle of equipment must be no greater than 2 years.
3. All equipment must be verified for proper operation between and after each series of tests
by repeating the reference readings at the specified frequency.
4. Required equipment for transmit chain of measurement system:
a. Frequency Synthesizer or Signal Generator.
b. RF Power Amplifier (if required)
c. DC Power Supply (if required)
d. Tuned λ/2 Dipole antenna at the test frequencies or broadband biconical antenna

5. Required equipment for receive chain of measurement system
a. Spectrum analyzer
b. RF preamplifier (if required)
c. In-line attenuator (if required)
d. DC power supply (if required)
e. Tuned λ/2 Dipole antenna at the test frequencies or broadband dipole antenna
NOTE: Considering the dimensions for the a tuned λ/2 dipole antenna at lower
frequencies, it is more practical to use a broadband biconical antenna.
6. The transmit and receive antenna must be of the same type for each measurement
4.3.6 Test Frequency
The test frequencies for shielding effectiveness (SE) measurement are defined in Chapter 3, RF
Shielded Room Requirements. Test frequencies used must be noted in the RF shield test
report.
4.3.7 Measurement Procedure
NOTE: Except when specified, antenna distances are measured at the center of the antenna.
1. Each wall of the RF shielded room that is accessible for the measurement will be tested. For
areas that are inaccessible for the direct location of the transmitting antenna, the inside of
that area will still be scanned using the receiving antenna with the transmitting antenna
positioned as close as possible to the intended test position, that position must be noted on
the test report
2. Each accessible plane of the wall is subdivided so that the horizontal spacing is no more
than 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in.) for the Transmit Antenna (TX) and Receive Antenna (RX) horizontal
positions. See the illustration below:

Chapter 7 Appendices 165


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

Illustration 7-5: Antenna Positioning

3. Measurements are taken with horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. Both Transmit
(TX) and Receive (RX) antennas must be aligned with the same polarization, the measured
polarization must be part of the test report
4. For localized testing of shielded room items such as doors, windows, filters, penetration
areas, etc. the transmitting antenna (as well as receiving antenna) will be positioned in front
of the items under test

4.3.7.1 Shielding Effectiveness Measurement


Three main steps are required to complete the Shielding Effectiveness measurement at each
test position:
1. Take reference level measurement (Section 4.3.7.2)
2. Take attenuated level measurement (Section 4.3.7.3)
3. Calculate Shielding Effectiveness (Section 4.3.7.4)
4.3.7.2 Reference Level Measurement
1. The reference level is the value of signal measured by the receiver equipment with the
receiving antenna located at a prescribed distance from the transmit antenna and located
outside of the shielded enclosure.
2. Measurement setup for the reference level is in accordance with the illustration below:

Testing
SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

Illustration 7-6: Reference Level Measurement

3. The antennas must be separated by a distance of 2 m, minimum, unless physical spacing


limitations for either the reference level or SE readings preclude maintaining that spacing. In
that event, maximum available separation must be used, but must not be less than 1 m, and
that separation must be noted on the test report
4. The coaxial cable from the receive antenna must be kept perpendicular to the axis of the
antenna for a distance of at least 1 m
5. The cable from the receive antenna is preferably routed through the wall of the shield via a
bulkhead type of coaxial connector. If this is not possible, it may be routed through a shield
door that is opened only far enough to pass the cable. If the open-door method is used, a
check for direct coupling to the receiving equipment must be made by putting a dummy load
in place of the receive antenna and verifying that any signal present is at least 10 dB below
the reference reading
6. Reference Level measurement is taken at each test location with antenna at both
polarizations (horizontal and vertical)
a. Reference Level at Horizontal Polarization
i. The reference level measurement is taken over a plane area covered as described
below.
ii. With horizontal polarization for both antennas, the receive antenna must be moved
vertically up 1.0 m from the initial position, and then move it down from the initial
position to 0.3 m above the floor. Then starting 1 m to the right of the initial position,
move slowly vertically up 1 m and then down to 0.3 m above the floor. Repeat this at
1 m to the left of the original position
iii. Record the maximum measurement reading in this plane
b. Reference Level at Vertical Polarization
i. The reference level measurement is taken over a plane area covered as described
below.

Chapter 7 Appendices 167


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

ii. With vertical polarization for both antennas, the receive antenna must be moved
horizontally right 1.0 m from the initial position, and then move it left from the initial
position to 1.0 m. Then starting 1 m above the initial position, move slowly
horizontally right 1 m and then horizontally left 1 m from initial position. Repeat this at
0.3 m above the floor (measure 0.3 m from the floor to the bottom of the antenna),
move slowly horizontally right 1 m and then horizontally left 1 m
iii. Record the maximum measurement reading in this plane
4.3.7.3 Attenuated Level Measurement
1. The basic measurement procedure consists of positioning the transmit antenna outside the
RF shielded room and the receive antenna inside the RF shielded room and measuring the
magnitude of the largest received signal
2. The Transmit Power for the shielded Room Measurement is the same as the power used to
determine the Reference Level
3. If an attenuator was used in the Reference measurement, it would be taken out for the
shielded Room measurement and the attenuator value added to the SE in the datasheet
4. Measurement setup for the attenuated level is in accordance with the illustration below:
Illustration 7-7: Attenuation Level Measurement

5. Attenuated Level measurement is taken at each test location with antenna at both
polarizations (horizontal and vertical).
a. Attenuated Level at Horizontal Polarization
i. Both tuned Receive and Transmit Antennas are in Horizontal Polarization
ii. In all the following measurements the Receive Antenna is held in Horizontal
Polarization and kept at a distance of 0.3 m from the inside shielded room wall
iii. Starting with the Receive Antenna directly parallel to the Transmit Antenna begin to
slowly move the Receive Antenna in a Volume Parallel to the shielded room wall 1 m

4.3.7.4 Shielding Effectiveness calculation
The shielding effectiveness is calculated with the reference level measurement and the
attenuated level measurement as defined in Equation 1:
SE (db) = VRef_max - VAtt_max
or
SE (db) = PRef_max - PAtt_max
Where:
SE : Shielding Effectiveness in dB
VRef_max, VAtt_max: Reference measurement in dBuV
PRef_max, PAtt_max: Reference measurement in dBm

5 Acoustic Background and Design Guidelines


The acoustic information is provided for site planning and architectural design activities to
address acoustics to meet local regulations and customer requirements. For more information
about recommended safety procedures regarding patient exposure to MR generated acoustic
levels, see the MR Safety Guide included with the system Users Manual.
5.1 Acoustic Background
A typical MR suite has two types of acoustic noise issues. The first is the acoustics within the
rooms in which the patients and technicians are impacted by the noise of the MR system as the
gradients are pulsed. The second is noise transmitted to other spaces via airborne and
structureborne paths.
5.1.1 Airborne
The airborne transmission path entails the excitation of air within the magnet room; the
resonator module consisting of the magnet, RF coil, and gradient coil generates acoustic noise
similar to an intense loud speaker. The airborne noise passes through walls via any openings,
i.e. small holes, cracks, HVAC ducts, and waveguides, into surrounding spaces within and
possibly beyond the confinements of the building. Acoustic energy can transmit across
distances of significant length.
Examples of airborne acoustics issues may include the following (not limited to only these) :
• MR Operator exposure at Operator Workstation (i.e. Operator viewing in-line with the patient
inside the magnet may require a higher acoustic attenuation window)

• Image reading rooms adjacent to Magnet Room, may be separated by hallways

• Secretarial, offices, meeting rooms, patient rooms (ICU, exam, primary care, etc.)

• Adjacent residential areas/spaces

• In-house library facilities


5.1.2 Structureborne
The structureborne transmission path is the result of mechanical excitation of the floor/building
structure causing the building to vibrate. The vibration of the surfaces at surrounding spaces
then radiates as acoustic noise. Acoustic energy can transmit across distances of significant
length.
NOTE: Less than 5% of installed base sites have experienced structureborne acoustic
issues.
Examples of structureborne acoustics issues may include the following (not limited to only
these):
• Areas directly above or below the Magnet Room, may not always be an issue

• Image reading rooms adjacent to Magnet Room, may be separated by hallways

• Secretarial, offices, meeting rooms, patient rooms (ICU, exam, primary care, etc.)

• Adjacent residential areas/spaces

• In-house library facilities

5.2 Acoustic Design Guidelines


5.2.1 Magnet Room
Noise generated by the MR system is inherent to the operation of the system. The sound quality
(human perception) within the Magnet Room can be modified by including sound absorbing
materials to make the room sound more subdued and less harsh. The measured sound levels
via a sound level meter will not change. However, the measured sound levels can be reduced
only when the sound level generated by the MR System is reduced.
Sound quality improvements can be achieved by the following:
• Use ceiling tiles with fiberglass panels having a 2 inch (51mm) thickness set into the
standard T-bar grid system.

• Adding fiberglass panels to the side walls covering approximately 20% of the side wall
surface area. The panels should focus on covering the top half of the side walls. Panels
could take many different and decorative shapes to improve the sterile look of the rooms.
Typically panels might be on the order of 4 ft x 6 ft (1.2 m x 1.8 m) with a thickness of 4
inches (102 mm) or equivalent. Panels shape could vary to produce mosaic effects to meet
the customer preference. Any decorative materials used to cover the wall panels must be
porous so that sound waves can pass through with ease. In principle, a person should be
able to breath through the material with ease. Fire retardant cloth should be used. The NRC
(Noise Reduction Coefficient) of the panels should be 0.95 or better when mounted against
a hard surface such as drywall or concrete.
5.2.2 Inter-Spacial Areas
Acoustic Noise Control to mitigate noise from being transmitted to other spaces often amounts
to paying attention to small details while working with ordinary construction materials. The key
objectives are to eliminate all cracks and gaps in the wall construction while making sure that
the doors, walls, floor, and ceiling have adequate transmission loss via mass or special double
wall construction along with good fitting massive doors.
The entire Magnet must be surrounded by walls with substantial mass and/or double wall
construction so that noise is contained in the room and not allowed to pass through into nearby
spaces. Wall junctions must be sealed with acoustical sealant so that noise waves to do not
escape from the room. In principle, if the room were filled with smoke and under a positive
pressure, no smoke would leak from the room.
5.2.2.1 Wall Construction
Wall Construction will entail ordinary building materials in a careful configuration.
• The preferred wall would have an ASTM Sound Transmission Coefficient (STC) 50
construction which entails the use of standard wall construction of steel studs (typically 3-5/8
inch (92 mm)) with 2 layers of Type X drywall (typically 5/8 (16 mm)) on each side totaling 4
layers and fiberglass batt in the stud cavity. All drywall must be overlapped by 6 inches (152
mm) or more. Beads of (USG) Acoustical Caulking (non-hardening) would be used around
the entire perimeter of the drywall. Any form of wall penetration should be avoided. Any
necessary wall penetrations must be sealed using combination of Acoustical Caulking (non-

Chapter 7 Appendices 173


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

hardening) and fiberglass batt material. See examples of wall construction shown in
Illustration 7-9 and Illustration 7-10.

• The top of the wall must join the ceiling/floor above so that no cracks or gaps occur. If metal
pan is used on the ceiling/floor (above), then flute seals would be used to seal the gaps
between the drywall and the pan. Alternately drywall can be cut out to fit into the flutes.
Acoustical caulking (non-hardening) will be used to seal the remaining cracks and gaps.

5.2.2.2 High Bay RF Room


A high bay RF Room is a self contained RF Room which has open air space between the RF
Room ceiling and the building floor above. The air space is an acoustic transmission path.
Acoustic energy must be reduced to minimize this transmission of energy through this path.
In cases where the Magnet is to be installed in a high bay, it may be most effective to enclose
the RF Room with its own drywall and steel stud room. The key difference being a ceiling
assembly that mimics the sidewall construction to contain noise.
• Normal high STC stud walls from above would be used to support a ceiling assembly
constructed of structural C channel with two layers of drywall on each side (total of 4 layers)
with fiberglass batt in the cavity.

• Penetrations should be avoided via the use of surface mounted lights. HVAC and ducts
passing through the ceiling, party wall or side walls would require acoustic noise attenuation
in the form of inline silencers. Gaps and cracks would be sealed between the ceiling, party
wall or vertical side walls and the cryogen vent plumbing. In essence the Magnet would be
enclosed in a drywall "doghouse".
5.2.2.3 Miscellaneous Plumbing, RF Windows and RF Doors
Other construction details are equally important to mitigate noise transmission to meet the
intended goal.
• Pipes (gas or water) and electrical conduit or Magnet Room signal cables must be sealed
where they penetrate the walls or ceiling. A heavy mastic material such as Duxseal™ is
appropriate.

Chapter 7 Appendices 175


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

• RF windows should be purchased as window/frame units with an STC rating obtained from
laboratory testing per ASTM standards. STC 50 to 60 windows are needed. The installation
must include proper sealing to avoid sound leaks.

• RF doors should be selected to provide an STC 50 to 60 to quell the noise. Contact RF


Shield Room supplier for selection of RF doors that meet the local acoustic codes and site
acoustic requirements. RF door seals must be selected to prevent small gaps around the
door perimeter and at the door threshold. RF door seals would either require periodic
replacement or a door seal that would last the life of the Magnet Room.

6 Sample Calculation AC Power Equipment Minimum Distance


This is a sample calculation to determine minimum distance from a feeder, transformer, or other
AC electrical source, using the Formula found in Chapter 2, MR Suite Magnetic Field
Specifications Electrical Current subsection to determine minimum distance from a feeder,
transformer, or other AC electrical source.
I (amps) = 8.55X2 (meters) ÷ S (meters)
Note that the formula has 3 variables, if you have 2 of them, you can calculate the 3rd. In this
example, we calculate the minimum distance X from the source, in this case a main electrical
feeder carrying 450 amps of current in a 5 inch conduit.

Rearranging:

where:

x Minimum distance (in meters) from the feeder lines to isocenter of the magnet

l Maximum allowable RMS single phase current (in amps) or maximum allowable RMS line current (in amps)
in three phase feeder lines

S Separation (in meters) between single phase conductors or greatest separation between three phase con‐
ductors

Note that the separation “S" is the spacing between the conductors and when all 3 conductors
are run in a single conduit, “S" is simply the diameter of the conduit.
S = 5 inches = 0.127 meters

1 Magnet

The conduit should be 2.6 meters or 8.5 feet from the magnet isocenter.

Chapter 7 Appendices 177


SIGNATM Architect, Discovery* MR750w Preinstallation Manual
Direction 5670003, Revision 8.0

In other situations, the spacing “S" may be the spacing between HV feeders, the distance
between transformer lugs, or the spacing between conduits when the phase conductors are run
in separate conduits.
What if it is too close? Keep in mind that if this is an existing condition, you should request an
EMI study to quantify the magnitude and direction of the AC disturbances. The calculation is
worst case and does not take into account the vector direction of the AC interference. The
magnet is only sensitive to AC disturbances that are directed horizontally (magnet z-axis). Also
the calculation does not account for any magnetic shielding effect of steel conduit.

7 Selecting Magnet Anchor Size


The following is an example to illustrate the selection of proper anchors to install a Magnet in a
building with 2000 psi (13.8 MPa) concrete. For this example the area is not under seismic
requirements.
1. Determine magnet clamping force (for the Magnet: 2500 lbs + 200 lbs = 2700 lbs or 11,100
N + 900 N = 12,000 N).
2. Refer to the examples of anchor vendor catalogs below to select anchor diameter and
embedment which meets the clamping force (tension) determined in Step 1.
Diameter : Min. 0.625 inch Max. 1.25 inch
For 8 inch embedment select 3/4 inch diameter
For 4.5 inch embedment select 1 inch diameter
or
Diameter : Min. M16 Max. M32
For 130 mm embedment select M20 diameter
For 114 mm embedment select M24 diameter
3. The vendor instructions and torque to the maximum recommended level for the anchor
selected in Step 2 must be provided to the RF Shield Room vendor for proper installation of
the anchor and equipment.

NOTICE
THIS TABLE MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR CRYOGENIC VENT
SYSTEM DESIGN IN PRE-INSTALLATION DIRECTION.

Notes
1. Elbows with angles greater than 90 deg must not be used

2. Data in Table 2 is based on the following facts and assumptions:

a. Initial flow conditions at magnet interface

b. EM energy (13MJ) is dumped to He during quench and rises He temperature to 10 Kelvin

c. Gas temperature starting at 10 Kelvin and increase with length determined by thermal energy balance

d. 90% He is assumed to be evacuated within 30 sec. None left after quench.

e. Absolute roughness is assumed to be 0.25 mm.

f. R/D = 1.0 for standard sweep elbows, R/D = 1.5 for long sweep elbows where D = inside diameter of pipe; R = radius of bend
