Product Description: The Leybold RGD 5100 coldhead, often used in GE MRI systems, is a vital part of the cryogenic cooling system. Its primary function is to re-condense helium gas back into its liquid state, preventing it from boiling off entirely. This process is essential for keeping the superconducting magnets cool and maintaining the operational integrity of the MRI scanner. Regular replacement of the coldhead is recommended to prevent a “magnet quench,” which can be a costly and time-consuming repair. This coldhead is compatible with GE 10K magnet systems and is an essential maintenance item for a range of GE MRI scanners.
