Introduction
1General
The MAGNETOM ESSENZA is a super-conducting, short bore magnet with a large flared
opening. It utilizes Active Shielding, External Interference Screen (EIS) and FCL (Fixed
Current Lead) technologies.
The magnet uses the same re-condensing refrigeration system as introduced with the
Avanto/Espree products to reduce the helium boil-off to zero under normal imaging condi-
tions.
The main magnetic field B 0 is 1.494 Tesla over 40 x 40 x 30 cm volume. Patient comfort
is assured by a wide bore (60cm/82cm with/without coils) together with a 131 cm short
magnet.
The magnet is passive iron shimmed together with Gradient Offsets and A(2,0) term active
shim during installation to achieve the specified homogeneity.

Overview 1.1
The magnet system for the MAGNETOM ESSENZA is the latest product in magnet tech-
nology. The following components offering support and monitoring have been integrated
into the magnet system:
• MAGNETOM ESSENZA 1.5 Tesla Superconducting Magnet
Generates the main magnetic field B 0. The magnet is shimmed during installation
using Gradient Offsets offsets, A(2,0) E-shim and Passive Iron to achieve the specified
field homogeneity.
• Magnet Monitoring (MSUP)
Monitoring system for magnet and refrigerator functions. Audits all magnet functions
and stores the data in log files that can be downloaded and analysed in the event of a
fault. Also provides a closed loop Helium vessel pressure control system and ERDU
function. New feature is the ability to identify which coil is failing during a quench
(LVQD=low voltage quench detection).
• Alarm Box
Audible and visual warning from the Magnet Monitoring. It includes system power
switch-buttons and a magnet stop-button (ERDU).
• Electrical High Order Shim
A single channel Shim PSU and Shim Coil is used during installation to adjust the Z2
axial homogeneity.
• Magnet Power Supply (MPS 3600)
For ramping the magnetic field, the MPS 3600 is a movable service tool and not part of
the system delivery.
• Refrigerator System
SUMITOMO compressor and cold head unit for cooling the magnet cryo shield and
re-liquefying the boiled-off helium gas.

Overview
2OR60 Magnet
General 0
The MAGNETOM ESSENZA magnet is an actively shielded superconductive magnet

assembly sealed into an all welded stainless-steel vessel which is filled with liquid helium.
This liquid helium vessel is assembled into an outer steel vessel with pumped-down vac-
uum to achieve thermal isolation. Inside the vacuum chamber, one aluminium shield
reduces the heat radiated to the liquid helium vessel. The shield is cooled by the first stage
of a Gifford-McMahon refrigerator manufactured by SUMITOMO. Its second stage recon-
denses the boiled-off helium gas, hence a zero boil-off system!
The cryogenic and control circuitry access is provided by an integrated turret. A fixed cur-
rent lead made of stainless steel enables ramping of the magnet without opening the cry-
ostat.

Magnet Coil Components 2.1
Fig. 3: OR60 Magnet Electrical Diagram

The MAGNETOM ESSENZA magnet is an actively shielded magnet consisting of a primary
coil containing 5 inner coil sections and 2 active shield coils to reduce the magnetic fringe
field.
Switch Heater 0
A superconductive switch, electrically heated, allows the magnet to be energized and

de-energized.
Quench Heaters 0
In case of emergency (accidents, fire, etc.), the magnetic field has to be de-energized
immediately to avoid danger to personnel. Two quench heaters are placed close to the
main coil. When activated, they immediately turn the magnet wire into the normal-conduc-
tive state (Quench). The coil current is discharged by the wire resistance within 20 sec-
onds. The thermal energy released will boil off a significant amount of liquid helium.
Quench Protection Diodes 0
During a quench, up to 6 KV can be induced across the coil. To avoid damage, the quench
protection diodes clamp the voltage to a maximum of approximately 12 V.

03.09 CS SD MR
OR60 Magnet 11
External Interference Screen (EIS) 0
The External Interference Screen (EIS) are extra coil windings placed on top of two of the
primary coils and both of the active shield coils and wired in series. This coil picks up tran-
sient B 0 interference and shields the main coil from magnetic field fluctuation caused by
moving cars, elevators, power lines, etc.
Over time, the main magnetic field decays - caused by the residual resistance of the coil
joints. Hence, a rising current is induced into the EIS, producing a counter-field that dete-
riorates B 0 field homogeneity. Therefore, the EIS has to be quenched once a day by a
timer logic of the Magnet Supervision Unit (MSUP). To avoid image quality problems, the
EIS has to be reset when the system is not utilized (typical time set-up = 2:00 am).

Service Turret 2.2
General 0
The Service Turret is placed on the sidesock next to the coldhead. It contains:
• Venting system
• Entry port of helium fill syphon
• Fixed Current Leads (FCL) for ramping
• Electrical Interfaces to the Magnet Supervision (MSUP)
Function 0
Venting System
Vent Valve
A 16-psia (a = absolute pressure) vent valve is placed parallel to the Quench Valve through
which gas can vent when internal pressure exceeds 16-psia.
Depressurization Valve
A hand-operated bypass valve placed in parallel to the vent valve allows de-pressurization
of the helium vessel.
Cold Head Vent Line

This line is used to allow boil-off gases to pass through the Cold Head assembly during
transportation or when the compressor will not be in operation for extended periods of time
(e.g. long parts delivery time).
NOTE The vent line valve of the Cold Head must be closed during
normal operation of the Cold Head, otherwise, no helium
re-liquification is possible.
OVC Vent (Outer Vacuum Chamber)

The OVC is fitted with a pressure relief port (called a drop-off plate) to avoid safety hazards.
Auxiliary Vent Line

This vent line extends well below the neck tube assuring that, in the event the service turret
is blocked by ice (possible if the Quench burst disk is damaged during a Quench and air
has ingressed into the magnet), the gasses in the magnet can still escape. Without an alter-
native path for the gasses to escape, the magnet vessel may fail.
A 1.8 bar (26-psig) stainless steel burst disk is inline to this vent line and under normal cir-
cumstances, the burst disk will not break during a Quench.

03.09 CS SD MR
14 OR60 Magnet
Quench Valve
The Quench Valve is realized as a spring-loaded clap valve which opens at 6.3-psig (g =
gauge: pressure difference against atmosphere). The spring valve has in addition a graph-
ite burst disk rated at 20-psig which will burst if the spring valve should not open.
Pressure Line
A pressure line from the magnet venting feeds a pressure sensor for measuring the mag-
net’s internal pressure. The sensor output is fed to the MSUP for pressure regulation and
to a pressure switch. See Magnet Pressure Regulation section for a detailed explanation.
NOTE After a Quench, the valves of the venting system must be

checked for integrity. Please refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide "Post Quench" procedure.

Helium Syphon Kit

Due to the no boil-off concept, a Helium Fill Syphon is not standard (except for mobile sys-
tems). If re-filling is necessary (e.g. after Cold Head service), an adaptor - the Service
Syphon Kit - provides access into the magnet turret.

Bottom Fill 22mm N/A 2 1
Top fill N/A 60mm 1 1
The syphon diffuser should optimally be 50-80mm above the syphon cone for top fill-
ing.
Two fill configurations are possible:

• Bottom-Fill - 3 extension legs + PTFE seal
This configuration must be used when the magnet has to be filled after a Quench and/or
the magnet temperatures have risen already. It will avoid unnecessary helium loss.
• Top-Fill - 2 extension legs + PTFE diffuser
This is the normal configuration which minimizes the Quench risk when the magnet is
LHe-filled under field.
NOTE The Service Syphon Kit, part no: 10126651 is a service tool.
To ensure that the LHe-filling procedure is performed cor-
rectly, refer to the MAGNETOM ESSENZA > Installation >
Start-up.
Fixed Current Lead (FCL)
Function
The magnet is energized over a Fixed Current Lead (FCL) located on the Service Turret.
There is 1 copper connector (positive) attached through the side of the turret via a gas tight
ceramic interface. The negative connector is attached to the cryostat shell. The ramp
cables are permanently connected and routed to the RF Filter Panel where the MPS can
be connected.

• Helium Pressure Control Unit - This integrated pressure control unit contains an elec-
tric pressure transducer to monitor the absolute helium pressure in psia. A pressure
switch is integrated to switch off the cold head compressor in the event of a pressure
loss. Additionally, the relative pressure is displayed with the help of an analogue gauge.

03.09 CS SD MR
OR60 Magnet 19
Pressure Control Unit 2.3
The Pressure Control Unit contains:

• Analog linear gauge.
• Electrical pressure transducer -
monitored by the Magnet Supervision
(MSUP).
• Electrical low-pressure switch - to
switch off the helium compressor.
Fig. 9: Pressure Control Unit
All connections are at the bottom of the unit. The brass connector also incorporates an
over-pressure device to protect the unit. The pressure switch is calibrated at the factory and
should not be tampered with. The pressure transducer does not require calibration.
Pressure control of the helium vessel is managed by the MSUP. In the event that the pres-
sure drops to within 0.2 psi above atmospheric pressure (0.2-psig), the pressure switch will
open and turn off the compressor via direct signal cable connection. This measure is taken
to prevent air from entering the magnet.
NOTE The pressure reading on the analog linear gauge may fluctu-
ate with atmospheric pressure changes!

Communication Interface
CAN-bus
The MSUP communicates to the MARS via a fiber optic CAN bus. Changes of the MSUP
status and error messages are reported via CAN commands and MARS to the host.
RS232 Serial Interface

For service purpose (e.g. logfile analysis with Mag HSC), a PC can be connected to X6 of
the MSUP via Hyper Terminal. Communication parameters to be set are:
• 9600 Baud rate
• 8 bit, 1 start bit, no parity
• Flow Control = None
• File, properties, settings tab, emulation = VT100.
After pressing "Esc" and typing "R" at the Service PC, the communication link is enabled.
NOTE In sleep-mode the communication to the MSUP via Service

PC does not work. To wake up the MSUP, a button of the
Patient Table Control Panel can be pressed.
MSUP-Display Unit
A hand-held display unit (Service Tool) can be connected to the MSUP to display sensor
values (e.g. LHe-level, 50 K shield temperature) and trigger actions (see MSUP-Display
Unit description).

03.09 CS SD MR
Sleep Mode
When a magnet measurement or scan is started, the MSUP is set into the "sleep mode"
During that time, MSUP loadware stops monitoring the magnet as well as associated elec-
tronics. As a result, only essential functions are active in this mode:
• ERDU circuit
• Pressure regulation circuit, if the magnet pressure drops below 15.1 psia ("hardware
control" mode)
• Zero field detection
• Battery-charging circuit
• Green power LED
The MSUP will recover from "sleep mode" and return to "normal mode" if:
• The host transmits a wake-up CAN command
• An ERDU button is pressed
• System-off is pressed
• Zero field is detected (Quench)
• Magnet pressure < 14.75 psia (depending on the pressure switch condition)
Internal Self Test and Magnet Type recognition

A built-in microprocessor controls the monitoring of all magnet sensors and internal cir-
cuits. All values are checked against standard parameters stored in its memory. The pro-
cessor is equipped with a timer logic to trigger a sensor measurement at night. The actual
time information is automatically downloaded from syngo MR (see also Supervisory Test
cycle).
During power up, the processor initializes all MSUP components and performs a self test
during which the presence of the +3.3 V, +5V, +15 V and +36 V supply voltages are
checked. In addition, some reference voltages are checked to verify the proper function of
the multiplexer and ADC circuit for the analog sensors (e.g. LHe-level measurement).
Magnet data is recovered from the i-Button via connector X2. The magnet type is deter-
mined by attempting to read the iButton located in the diagnostic port. If successful all mag-
net parameters held in the iButton are read by the supervisory. That information is used to
set up a connected Magnet Power Supply accordingly.
Supervisory Test cycle

The MSUP can perform a Supervisory Test cycle to start a new measurement of:
• Helium level
• Battery test (only if +36 V MSUP supply voltage is present)
• EIS reset
The Test cycle is completed within 30 seconds. It can be started by either:
• Pressing the "SAMPLE" button at the MSUP-Display Unit
• CAN-bus commands
• Internal MSUP timer (Sampling time is set up in SESO > Magnet&Cooling > Initializa-
tion)

03.09 CS SD MR
EEPROM
The MSUP EEPROM is used for three distinct purposes:
Storage of status entries

Status entries are stored with time and date stamp after each Supervisory Test. A record
of the last 256 status entries is kept.
Storage of events
The following events are stored with time and date stamp and can be read out with the Ser-
vice PC connected to the MSUP. (The last 30 readings are stored).
• Compressor OFF Time
• Compressor ON time
• ERDU ON time
• ERDU OFF Time
• ERDU Button pressed
• ERDU button released
• ERDU button missing
• Switch Heater ON time
• Switch Heater OFF time
• MSUP Power ON
• EIS Fault time
• EIS Fault cleared time
• Zero Field detected
• Battery Volts Warning
• High pressure warning
• Low pressure warning
Storage of user configured MSUP parameters

Some of the MSUP parameters can be configured by the user (e.g. calibration of both
LHe-level meters in SESO) and will be stored in the MSUP EEPROM and iButton:
• He zero percent calibration value
• He hundred percent calibration value
• He level warn point
• Magnet operating current
• Supervisory test time
Each of the parameters is communicated to SESO via the CAN bus. Validity of the above
data is checked permanently by checksum calculation . If a deviation is found, the proces-
sor tries to recover the parameters from the iButton, or alternatively loads a default set of
parameters for MAGNETOM ESSENZA magnet type. (Refer to Replacement of parts for
more information).

03.09 CS SD MR
Emergency Run Down Unit (ERDU)
ERDU buttons
The system contains two ERDU buttons (Alarm Box and magnet room), a third button can
be fitted optionally. When a button is pressed in an emergency situation, the MSUP ener-
gizes the two quench heaters and the switch heater. The magnetic field will decay in less
than 20 seconds.
The number of ERDU buttons is config-

ured with a rotary switch (S1), located
beside the indicator LEDs on the side
panel of the MSUP.
Fig. 12: OR60 - MSUP ERDU set switch and LED

Pos. 1 ERDU Selection Switch
Pos. 2 Green = 36V External Power ON
Pos. 3 Yellow = Pressure heater ON
Pos. 4 X2
ERDU button monitoring

A resistor, connected in parallel to each ERDU button allows the monitoring of the circuitry.
The MSUP drives a small constant current that generates a proportional voltage drop on
each of the ERDU button resistors. In case a cable is broken or shorted, the MSUP will gen-
erate a fault signal, the red LED FAULT at the Alarm Box will light up. When the ERDU has
been activated the time/date of its operation is recorded in the EEPROM. The same is true
for its de-activation.
Quench heater monitoring

The quench heater (and switch heater) resistances are continually measured by applying
a small constant current to the heaters and measuring the voltage drop. An alarm is gen-
erated if a resistance value is found to be outside specification.
ERDU Battery
An external 24 V MSUP-Battery backs up the ERDU function for 25 days after power failure
(assuming one LHe measurement per day and battery was fully charged by the MSUP).
The battery voltage can be displayed at the MSUP-Display Unit. After 2 years of operation,
the battery has to be replaced during maintenance, or immediately if battery failure is
detected during the daily MSUP self test.

03.09 CS SD MR
ERDU battery test

The condition of the ERDU battery is tested when the MSUP starts a Supervisory Test
Cycle (e.g. via timer control at night). The MSUP supply voltage (+36 VDC) must be
present for that test. A load resistor is connected across the battery and a comparator
checks that the battery voltage is within the specified limits. If the battery voltage is less
than +23.25 V, an error message is generated and the red FAULT LED lights up at the
Alarm Box.
Switch Heater
The switch heater of the magnet is controlled by the MSUP. When the Magnet Power Sup-
ply is connected to the system, it can energize the switch via CAN-bus commands to the
MSUP as required. Like the quench heaters, the switch heater circuitry is permanently
monitored for broken or shorted lines.
Helium Level monitoring

The helium level inside the magnet can be measured with the help of two superconducting
probes built into the helium vessel. When the sampling is started, the MSUP performs an
auto-calibration of the LHe measurement current that is applied to the probe. The current
is slowly increased from zero until the probe starts propagating (i.e. the parts of the probe
inside the gaseous helium heat up until they change to the normal conducting state, parts
in the liquid stay superconductive). The current is then reduced to 250mA with a voltage
drop across the probe measured and converted into a LHe filling percentage.
Different probes may vary in resistance, therefore the resistance values for 0% and 100%
He-level for the actual system probes, (to be found in the SMT Magnet Acceptance Certif-
icate), need to be entered under SESO > Magnet&Cooling > Initialization.
Display of last sampled LHe-level

The LHe filling-level of the Magnet can be seen at:
• syngo MR, System / Control
• Service Software SESO > Magnet&Cooling > Status
• MSUP-Display Unit
LHe-level sampling
A new sampling of the LHe-level can be started:
• Automatically one time per day by internal MSUP timer (sample time setup in SESO >
Magnet&Cooling > Initialization)
• Manually by calling SESO > Magnet&Cooling > Magnet Status (additionally when
updating)
• Manually at the MSUP-Display Unit

03.09 CS SD MR
Calibration of LHe-level meters

The two LHe level meters have to be calibrated via software. The calibration data (e.g.
probe resistance values for 0% and 100%) from the SMMR Factory Acceptance document
have to be entered under SESO > Magnet&Cooling > Initialization.
A warning level (possible range 45-90%) for LHe-level is to be adjusted in SESO > Mag-
net&Cooling > Alarm Settings. If the level falls below that threshold, a warning message is
generated and reported to syngo MR.
The alarm threshold is fixed at 40%. If the level falls below that value, the RED FAULT LED
lights up at the Alarm Box and the alarm buzzer is switched on.
External Interference Screen (EIS) control

To eliminate any accumulated current in the External Interference Screen (EIS) coil wind-
ings that might deteriorate the B0 field homogeneity, the EIS coil has to be quenched once
a day. The MSUP internal timer switches on the EIS heater for 15 seconds, the EIS switch
is opened and the current is discharged. To avoid image quality problems, the EIS has to
be reset when the system is not in use (typical time set-up = 2:00 am).
A manual EIS reset can be performed with help of the MSUP-Display Unit (e.g. during
shimming). If the EIS heater is left on, the MSUP will switch it off automatically after 60 min-
utes to avoid excessive helium boil-off.
The presence of the EIS reset output current is checked by the MSUP circuitry. In case of
a fault, (e.g. broken cable) a warning message is generated and the RED FAULT LED at
the Alarm Box lights up.

03.09 CS SD MR
Magnet Pressure Regulation
Fig. 13: Magnet Pressure Regulation Scheme

The absolute magnet pressure is measured by the Pressure Control Unit and sent to the
MSUP. As the Cold Head recondenses the helium gas, the pressure in the magnet drops.
When the pressure has fallen to 15.29 psia, the MSUP activates a heater to boil off helium.
When the pressure has risen to 15.30 psia, the heater is turned off.
Pressure Heater activation is indicated with a yellow LED.

03.09 CS SD MR
Pressure Regulation Faults

If the Pressure Heater requires > 3 W average power over 4 hours, due to a leak in the
venting system for example, the MSUP will switch to a "hardware control" mode. In this
mode, the Pressure Heater will only be energized when the magnet pressure falls below
15.1 psia. The MSUP will stay in that mode for 24 hours, or until a sampling is done.
NOTE The pressure regulation circuit is protected by fuse F6. It will

blow after 2.25 hours of continuous pressure heater opera-
tion.
Manual Pressure Heater Activation

For service purpose (e.g. fast pressure build-up), the Pressure Heater can be switched on
manually with the handheld MSUP Display (100% duty cycle = approx. 30W!!!). If forgotten,
a timer switches off automatically after 50 minutes.
Parameter Specifications
max. Pressure Heater duty cycle for normal operation 20%
max. Pressure Heater ON time 50 min.
System pressure high alarm 18.0 psia
System Pressure low alarm 15.0 psia
Magnet temperature monitoring

The following magnet temperatures can be checked by the MSUP:
• 50K cold head temperature
• 50K shield temperature
(link, bore)
• Turret temperature
(2x Fixed Current Lead = FCL)
• Internal magnet temperatures (Carbon resistor or Ceramic carbon resistors)
(4x)
Temperature measurements are achieved by passing a constant current through the sen-
sors/resistors and monitoring the voltage readings. Some of the readings are converted
into temperature values.
Zero-Field detection
The MSUP contains a sensor to detect the absence of the main magnetic field (used for
Quench detection function).

Overview
5Refrigerator System
The cryogenic Refrigerator System consists of:-

• He Compressor - water-cooled, provides compressed helium gas for the cold head for
both 4K and 10K systems.
• Cold Head -
- 4K - recondensing of the boiled off helium and cooling of the 50K magnet shield.
- 10K - reduced boil off shield cooler for 20K and 80K shields
• He Flexlines - connection between He compressor and cold head.
Compressor + cold head are manufactured by SUMITOMO Heavy Industries Ltd., Japan.

03.09 CS SD MR
Refrigerator System 49
He-Compressor F70 MREF 5.1
General 0
The compressor continuously draws low-pressure helium from the system return line. It
compresses, cools and cleans the gas, then delivers it through the system gas supply line
to the cold head.
The F70 compressor is available as both a high and low voltage model for global mains
voltage configurations.
• The F70 has 4 voltage taps (380V, 400V, 415V, and 480V) to match the incoming
power supply.
NOTE The unit is factory set for 400V3~50Hz.
The He-Compressor comprises the modules:

• Compressor capsule
• Heat exchanger
• Gas purifiers
• Control module (electrical supply unit)

Compressor capsule
When helium gas leaves the compressor capsule, the gas contains heat and compressor
lubricant. Both must be removed.
Heat exchanger
After being pressurized, the hot helium gas is passed through a helium/water-counter flow
heat exchanger, located downstream of the compressor capsule. The gas temperature is
lowered to about the temperature of the coolant.
A second oil/water-counter flow heat exchanger cools the oil of the compressor capsule.
Oil circulation is maintained by the difference in pressure between low and high-pressure
helium. The temperature of the cooling water should be 5 °C to 25 °C at a flow rate of
6...9 l/min.
Gas purifiers
Downstream from the heat exchanger, the helium is passed through an oil separator. The
condensed oil is returned to the compressor capsule by means of capillary pipes.
Adsorber
The helium gas exiting the oil separator still contains small quantities of oil vapor. To pre-
vent this oil from freezing inside the Cold Head, the adsorber removes any oil and moisture
the gas is carrying.
The adsorber is located behind the oil separators.
NOTE In accordance with the maintenance schedule, the adsorber

must be replaced after every 30,000 hours of operation (~ 3
years).
Compressor valves
Three important valves are built into the compressor:
• Atmospheric Relief Valve (ARV)
Prevents the compressor from operating at an unsafe pressure by venting to atmo-
sphere.
• Solenoid Bypass Valve (SV)
Opens if compressor is switched off to equalize high and low pressure for cold head
protection.
• Internal Relief Valve (IRV)
The internal relief valve opens to allow the compressor to be operated in the
stand-alone mode or when the system gas lines are disconnected, to avoid overload-
ing the motor.

03.09 CS SD MR
Control module
The compressor unit is equipped with several monitoring devices to indicate faults. Com-
pressor status and errors are reported via the DB-25 Diagnostic Interface Connector, to
the system service display, located on the front panel.
The compressor ON/OFF status is displayed on the Alarm Box, (via the red fault LED),
and is recorded in the MSUP log file.
Operating modes
The Sumitomo compressor can run in four different modes of operation.
• Mode 1 (10K Shield cooling systems)
Compressor & cold head can be powered on/off. Operation control with ON and OFF
buttons located on the front panel.
• Mode 2 (4K Re-condensing systems)
The ON and OFF buttons are disabled in configuration mode 2, as the compressor is
controlled via the pressure within the magnet.
Compressor and cold head operation are controlled by the magnet pressure switch,
alarm box and ICS.
• Cold head mode (Mode 1 only)
This mode is used only where maintenance procedures are performed. It allows the
cold head to be energized without running the compressor.
With the system off, the “Cold Head Run” mode is selected using the display buttons
and pressing the ON button. The cold head will run until the OFF button is pressed, or
after 30 minutes of running.
• Mobile Configuration Mode1
The compressor can be configured for use in a mobile trailer system. Using the four
control buttons (located on the front panel) enter the “Service Level” mode and set
“Mobile Y”.
Configuration Mode switch

The configuration mode switch is located on the compressor front panel, and is used to
configure the output from the DB25 remote control Diagnostic Interface Connector,
depending on the magnet system type.
Before the compressor’s main power is switched on, the configuration selector switch must
be set to either Configuration mode 1 or Configuration mode 2.
The ON and OFF buttons are disabled in configuration mode 2, as the compressor is con-
trolled via the pressure within the magnet.
The factory setting is configuration mode 1.

Cold Head 5.2
General 0
Heat radiation plays the most important role when considering the heat impact to the cryo
shield and insulation foils inside the magnet. This heat impact has to be reduced as much
as possible to keep the helium boil-off rate as low as possible. This is obtained by cooling
the cryo shield to low temperatures around 50 Kelvin, using a cold head.
The magnet uses a SUMITOMO 4K re-condensing cold head which is able to re-liquify the
boiled-off helium gas. A "sidesock" interface to the helium vessel allows easy replacement
of the cold head at end of its lifetime.
4K cold heads do not require displacer exchange during its lifetime.
In addition, the cold head re-condenses any remaining boil-off by cooling the gas to 3.7
Kelvin (He-liquification point = 4.2 Kelvin). Providing the heat load to the helium vessel is
lower than the cold head cooling power, no helium will be lost.
The cold head consists of:

• 2-Stage Displacer
• Cylinder
• Drive Assembly
• Motor
Fig. 25: Cold head (removed from Magnet)

Pos. 1 Motor
Pos. 2 Drive Assembly
Pos. 3 Cylinder (Displacer inside)
Pos. 4 50 Kelvin stage
Pos. 5 3.7 Kelvin stage
Function 0
The cold head expands the high pressure (approx. 21 bar) helium gas supplied by the com-
pressor according to the Gifford-McMahon principle. Inside the cold head, a displacer pis-
ton is moved up and down in a metal cylinder, expanding the He gas in 2 chambers. Piston
movement is controlled by a motor-driven Scotch Yoke drive, coupled to a rotary gas-con-
trol valve. The cold head has two temperature stages:
• 50 Kelvin Stage (first stage) - Connected to a single cryo shield.

03.09 CS SD MR
• 3.7 Kelvin Stage (second stage) - Located in the helium vessel above the liquid level.
The boil-off He gas will condense on the second stage and return to the helium pool.
After expansion inside the cold head, the low pressure (approx. 7 bar) He-gas returns to
the compressor (closed loop helium gas circuit). In case a He gas refill is necessary, highly
pure 5.0 grade helium gas must be used (purity > 99.9990%).

Cold head transit line

During normal operation, the cold head contains small quantities of liquid helium. When
turned off, this liquid will expand to gas, but the flexlines provide a sufficient buffer.
If the flexlines are removed from the cold head, that pressure increase cannot be buffered,
which can potentially damage the cold head overpressure valve. To avoid this hazard, a
pressure bypass line (delivered with the system) needs to be connected within a few sec-
onds after removal of the cold head flexlines.
WARNING Never remove the helium flexlines at the cold head without
connecting the pressure bypass.
Severe damage to the cold head may occur.
¹ Refer to the cold head replacement description.
NOTE Removing the helium flexlines at the compressor does not

require installation of the pressure bypass line.

03.09 CS SD MR
Cold Head Bypass Line
The cold head is connected to the mag-

net turret via a permanent gas line.
To reduce static boil-off during long peri-
ods when the cold head is turned off, the
bypass line must be OPEN. During nor-
mal operation, the valve remains
CLOSED.

Overview
6Magnet Power Supply Unit 3600
The Magnet Power Supply Unit (MPSU 3600) is an air-cooled, portable service tool to ener-
gize the superconducting magnet coil to the required nominal field strength determined by
the magnet design.The MPSU functions are controlled by a serial connection to the host
computer or to a service laptop PC. Additional cable connections have to be established
for connecting the MPSU control section to the CAN bus of the MR system, for line power
supply, and for connecting the magnet coil via ramp cables.
The MPSU consists of:
• MPSU 3600
• Line power connection cable
• Ramp cables - Delivered with the system (or extension kit where required)
• RS 232 connection cable
• CAN0 bus connection cable
• Safety Manual
As the MPSU is a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit), there are no user serviceable parts inside
the 3600 MPSU. Covers should not be removed.
Maintenance is restricted to checking and replacing fuses F1 to F4 on the front panel, and
external cleaning, using a slightly damp cloth. If the 3600 MPSU fails to operate, it must be
returned to a local tooling centre for repair, and a replacement obtained.

Physical Description 6.1
The MPSU is enclosed in a robust blue

shipping case, mounted on a trolley. The
trolley has wheels to enable movement
when required, but can be easily lowered
on to skids when in position.
Removal of the lid of the shipping case
exposes the working face of the MPSU,
enabling all the connections to be made
and monitoring of local indicators to take
place
The MPSU may be lifted clear of the trol-
ley, if required, but care must be exer-

Ramping power supply

The 3-phase input is rectified and fed to a full bridge inverter running at about 20 kHz. The
modulated square wave is fed to a 20 to 1 step down transformer that supplies a Schottky
rectifier and an LC filter. The MPSU output current (max. 725 A @ 12 V) is fed via a Run
Down Load (RDL) to the MPSU output connector X3 and X4 (Fig. 38 / p. 74). The RDL can
be shorted via a MOSFET switch.
Actual output current is measured by a current transducer that is connected to the Control
Circuit. For service, it can be directly measured at connectors X11 and X12.
(Fig. 32 / p. 66)
Run Down Load, MOSFET switch

To run down the magnet, the MPSU is equipped with a Run Down Load (RDL) which con-
sists of heavy-duty diodes embedded in heat sinks and cooled by fans.
To activate the RDL, the MPSU opens a MOSFET switch that is connected in parallel. The
energy that is stored in the magnet coil is converted into heat inside the RDL and the mag-
net current is ramped down. During ramping up, the MOSFET switch is closed to directly
feed the MPSU current to the magnet coil.

03.09 CS SD MR
Shorting contactor
The MPSU is equipped with a shorting contactor that is normally closed. During different
ramp phases, the control circuit will open the contactor if required.
The shorting contactor is opened if:
• The MPSU ramps up the magnet
• The MPSU ramps down the magnet
The shorting contactor is closed if:
• The MPSU is switched off
• During ramping, a line power failure occurs
NOTE Magnet current will safely run down via the ramp cables and
closed shorting contactor.
WARNING Risk of electrocution.

Failure to observe the following safety warning may result in
physical injury and equipment damage
¹ Do not disconnect the ramp leads from the MPSU or
the magnet
• MPSU performs an internal 700A self-test prior to ramping

• Magnet current is automatically captured at the beginning of the ramping-down cycle
Control circuit
The control circuit monitors and controls the operation of the MPSU. Ramping commands
are initiated by the operator using the host or a Service laptop PC, to be connected to the
MPSU. The algorithm for ramping is stored in the software. Required magnet-specific data
is loaded from the Magnet Supervision (MSUP) via CAN-bus connection (X7)
(6/Fig. 32 / p. 66). During ramping, the MPSU activates the switch heater by sending CAN
commands to the MSUP.
If the CAN-bus is disconnected, the MPSU is inhibited and the fault displayed at the host
or Service laptop PC.
Current and voltage monitoring

The MPSU output current and voltage are monitored by the Control Circuit. It is reported
via RS 232 to the host or Service laptop PC. Additionally, a DVM can be connected to the
voltage monitor terminals (X9, X10) or current monitor terminals (X11, X12) on the MPSU
connector panel. (Fig. 32 / p. 66)

03.09 CS SD MR
Service Routines 0
Connecting Host or Service laptop PC

To start ramping, the host or Service laptop PC has to be connected to X6 of the MPSU
(RS 232 interface) (8/Fig. 32 / p. 66). To establish communication, Windows HyperTermi-
nal (or equivalent terminal emulator software) is required and must be configured. (Win-
dows 2000 and above)
Power to the Service laptop is supplied at X2. (2/Fig. 31 / p. 65)
Host connection
Before running HyperTerminal, the Host process stop_ttyrecorder.bat must be run. This
will release the serial port to enable the host to communicate with the MPSU. This process
is automatically re-started after a reboot.
Connecting to the Host Computer
To locate HyperTerminal on the host

computer:
• Press Ctrl+Esc to activate the Win-
dows Start bar.
• Click on the START button to display
the menu.
• Navigate to the HyperTerminal pro-
gram.

HyperTerminal setup
HyperTerminal must be configured and started before the MPSU is switched on.
• Select Com Port
NOTE For a Service laptop, select the Com Port where the commu-
nication cable is connected.
For host connection only COM 1 is available.

03.09 CS SD MR
NOTE For shimming or ramping procedures:-

Disconnect cable W0583 from COM 1 and connect cable
W2031.
Re-connect cable W0583 when ramping/shimming is com-
pleted.
• Baud rate = 9600

• Data bits = 8
• Parity = none
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow Control = None.
• File, properties, settings tab, Emulation = VT100
Initialisation
When the MPSU is switched on (at CB1), a ‘boot up’ screen is displayed. Operator initials
and magnet serial number data are entered.
The MPSU retrieves the magnet type, last set current, He level, date and time from the
MSUP.
Transport Test
To check for internal damage during transportation, the Transport Test was introduced on
the MPSU from software revision level 17.
The test is only required the first time the MPSU used on site and is performed prior to
connecting the ramp leads and using the MPSU on the magnet.
A Transport test tool is supplied with the MPSU, and the test must be passed before it is
removed and the ramp leads connected. (Fig. 34 / p. 70)
After initialisation, the Transport test can be performed (if required) by following the screen
prompts. (Refer to the Installation Manual - Startup - Ramping the Magnet).

03.09 CS SD MR
The transport test tool consists of 2 x

470 ohm resistors housed in a grey
Anderson plug.
The center tap of the resistors is con-
nected to a flying lead which is perma-
nently bolted to the 3600 chassis.
The MPSU is supplied with the test plug
already connected.

Self Test
The MPSU is run up to 700 A with the shorting contactor closed. The voltage drop across
the MOSFET switch is monitored. When the current reaches its peak, the voltage is
recorded (V1). Next, the MOSFET switch is opened and the current runs through the Run
Down Load. Before the current starts to decay, the voltage drop across the RDL is recorded
at Peak Current (V2).
Operational screen
On completion of the self test, the Operational Screen is displayed:

03.09 CS SD MR
MPSU logfile
The last ramp data is stored in a log file in non-volatile memory within the 3600 MPSU, even
if the MPSU is switched off. Data is overwritten when the next ramp is started. It is recom-
mended that after each ramp, the log file is downloaded and stored for future analysis.
The Magnet Peak Current is recorded. If the magnet should quench, the recording will tell
you at what current level the magnet quenched.
Refer to the Installation Manual - Start-up - Ramping the Magnet.
Ramping the Magnet

The MPSU initiates system checks:- ramp cables connected (cable test); helium level;
current lead temperatures and system pressure (depending on the magnet system).
Refer to the Installation Manual - Start-up - Ramping the Magnet.
Bumping the Magnet

Bumping the magnet involves making a small change to the magnetic field strength, either
up or down. The procedure is essentially the same as ramping the magnet. Refer to the
Installation Manual - Start-up - Ramping the Magnet.
Handling and Storage

The module may be stored in an environment as follows:
Ambient temperature -20 oC to 55 oC (-4o to 131o F)

Ambient pressure 700 to 1060 mbar (10 to 15psi)
Relative humidity 40% to 80% non condensing
Marking for packaging and handling complies with International Standards ISO
780/BS2770.
