MRI Quench Vent FAQs
What is a quench?
A quench occurs when there is a loss of superconductivity in an MRI machine magnet. This causes the magnet to heat up and boil, evaporating the liquid helium in the machine so that it turns into a gas. The gas is then expelled from the system at a very high pressure.
When does a quench occur?
There are two typical quench events. 1. A controlled quench occurs when an MRI machine is being decommissioned and is a planned event. 2. An emergency quench occurs due to an unplanned event, such as an object stuck in the machine.
What is the operating temperature of an MRI quench vent system?
A quench vent system will operate from room temperature to -452.47ºF.
What pressure rating does a quench vent system need to sustain?
A quench vent system should not exceed a 17 PSIG pressure drop and 10 PSIG static pressure.
Why does a quench vent system require bellows sections?
To allow for the extreme thermal contraction that may occur throughout the venting due to the extremely cold nature of the helium gas.
Why is CryoDuct the best MRI quench vent solution?
CryoDuct utilizes a prefabricated, non-magnetic 304SS with a critically pressure-rated, bolt-together connection. This ensures an easy-to-install, leak-free system that meets all manufacturers’ MRI quench vent requirements to safely vent your MRI machine. The CryoDuct system provides the ultimate quality in venting, safety and reliable MRI quench vent installation.
What makes The Schebler Company the best quench vent manufacturer?
CryoDuct is part of the 130+ year-old The Schebler Company, the global leader in fabricating high-quality products, components and sub-assemblies for a wide array of industries and global markets.
