Product Description: The GE HealthCare CSW-71C Shieldcooler Compressor (Part Number 2188184-2), manufactured by Sumitomo, is an essential part of an MRI system’s cooling mechanism. This compressor unit’s primary function is to supply high-pressure helium gas to the coldhead, re-compress the returned gas, and cool it to maintain the superconducting state of the MRI magnet. This is vital for preventing a “magnet quench,” which can be a costly and time-consuming problem. This unit operates on 200VAC power and has a 35A draw. As part of a comprehensive cryogenic system, this compressor is a cornerstone of system stability and is an indispensable component for any facility operating a GE MRI scanner.
