Keep your MRI stable while your site is not yet ready

MRI cold storage services for sites not ready for installation

When an MRI system cannot be installed immediately, keeping the magnet cold and operational becomes a major challenge. A fully energized MRI requires much more than storage space — it needs stable electrical infrastructure, chiller support, compressor operation, and continuous cryogenic monitoring to prevent downtime, helium loss, or unexpected issues.

Specialized MRI cryogenic storage infrastructure

Rumo Tech provides a dedicated MRI Cold Storage solution designed specifically for hospitals, imaging centers, OEMs, resellers, and project integrators that need a safe and controlled environment to temporarily maintain MRI systems before installation or relocation. Our facility is prepared to safely maintain MRI systems under operational cryogenic conditions. We provide the infrastructure necessary to keep the magnet properly refrigerated and continuously monitored throughout the storage period.

Why MRI cold storage matters?

Storing an MRI system without proper cryogenic support can lead to serious operational and financial risks. If refrigeration is interrupted or improperly managed, the system may experience helium loss, magnet instability, or even a quench event. Rumo Tech helps reduce these risks by maintaining the MRI system operational and continuously supervised during the storage period. Our MRI Cold Storage structure includes:
  • Dedicated electrical infrastructure for MRI operation
  • Chiller support and cooling management
  • Compressor operation and monitoring
  • 24/7 remote monitoring and alarm supervision
  • Cryogenic performance tracking
  • Technical support from MRI cryogenic specialists

Our MRI cold storage procedure

Our MRI Cold Storage process is designed to maintain the system operational, cryogenically stable, and continuously monitored throughout the entire storage period. From arrival at our facility to final shipment or installation, every step is managed by MRI specialists experienced in cryogenic systems and magnet preservation.

Step 1 — MRI Arrival & Initial Evaluation

Once the MRI system arrives at our facility, our team performs an initial technical evaluation to verify the system condition, cryogenic status, and storage requirements.

Step 2 — Electrical and cooling infrastructure setup

After setup, our cryogenic specialists monitor the MRI system to confirm stable refrigeration performance and proper operational parameters.


This stage helps ensure:

  • Stable cold head operation
  • Proper compressor performance
  • Controlled magnet pressure conditions
  • Reduced helium consumption risks

Step 3 — 24/7 monitoring

During the entire storage period, the MRI system remains under continuous remote monitoring through our monitoring platform.


Our team supervises critical parameters such as:

  • Magnet pressure
  • Helium trends
  • Compressor activity
  • Water temperatures
  • Power conditions
  • Cryogenic alarms and operational events


This proactive monitoring approach allows rapid response in case of abnormal conditions.

Risks of storing an MRI without cryogenic support

Improper temporary storage can compromise magnet stability, increase operational risks, and generate unnecessary cryogenic costs.

 
 

Helium loss

Lack of proper monitoring may result in avoidable helium consumption and higher costs.

Delays in installation projects

Storage-related issues may delay transportation, startup, and final site installation.

Limited visibility over system condition

Without continuous monitoring, potential cryogenic issues can remain unnoticed until they become critical.

Frequently asked questions about MRI cold storage

MRI cold storage is a specialized service designed to maintain an MRI system operational and cryogenically stable while it is temporarily stored before installation, relocation, or transportation.

An MRI system contains a superconductive magnet filled with liquid helium. To keep the magnet operational, the system requires proper refrigeration, electrical infrastructure, cooling support, and continuous monitoring.

Improper storage conditions may increase helium loss, create refrigeration instability, generate system alarms, or lead to costly recovery procedures before installation.

Yes. MRI systems stored in our facility can be monitored 24/7 through our remote monitoring platform, allowing supervision of critical cryogenic and operational parameters.

Our team supports multiple MRI manufacturers, including Siemens, GE, Philips, and other MRI systems requiring cryogenic maintenance and monitoring.
