Diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, and laboratory equipment generate intense heat that can degrade image quality, reduce treatment accuracy, and cause system shutdowns. Advantage medical-grade chillers deliver 39–68°F (±0.1°F) deionized water or glycol using 316L stainless circuits, HEPA filtration, and non-ferrous components—ensuring patient safety, ISO 13485 compliance, and 99.99% uptime in clinical and research environments.
Applications
- MRI Superconducting Magnets: Closed-loop chillers maintain 39.2°F water to helium compressors, preventing quench events and ensuring 3T field stability for 16-hour scan days.
- CT &PET Scanners: Dual-circuit systems cool X-ray tubes and detectors to 64°F, reducing thermal noise and enabling <1 mm resolution in cardiac and oncology imaging.
- Linear Accelerators (LINAC): High-flow chillers remove 25 kW from klystrons and waveguides, maintaining beam energy within ±0.5% during IMRT and SBRT treatments.
- Pharmaceutical Lyophilizers: -60°F brine systems support 72-hour freeze-drying cycles, ensuring uniform cake structure and 100% vial-to-vial consistency in biologics.
- Blood &Tissue Analyzers: Compact chillers hold 37.0°C ±0.05°C in reagent blocks, preventing hemolysis and ensuring accurate HbA1c and coagulation results.

The Benefits of Advantage Chillers for Medical &Healthcare Applications
In clinical environments, thermal reliability is critical to patient outcomes and operational efficiency. A major cancer center experienced two unplanned MRI quenches in one year due to chiller instability, costing $1.2M in helium and lost scan time. After installing an Advantage dual-redundant medical imaging chiller with real-time conductivity monitoring, they achieved 100% uptime over 18 months, increased daily scans by 22%, and reduced annual helium loss by 98%.
Advantage medical chillers feature electropolished 316L stainless fluid paths, FDA-approved heat transfer fluids, and full IQ/OQ/PQ documentation. PLCs with HL7 and DICOM integration provide seamless connection to hospital information systems, while predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics prevent downtime before it occurs. Optional HEPA-filtered air intake and UV sterilization ensure zero microbial risk in surgical suites and labs.
From rural clinics running a single CT to academic medical centers with 50+ imaging suites, Advantage delivers the precision, compliance, and dependability required to support life-saving diagnostics and treatments—scan after scan, patient after patient.
