On-site Water Installation 3.5

General Information 0

An on-site water supply (e.g., chiller, central cooling water supply) is required for operating
the MR system. The primary chilled water supply must apply with the specifications listed
in this document, to guarantee a failure-free operation of the water cooling circuit, and the
water cooled components listed in the table (Water cooled components / p. 173).
Three solutions of on-site water supply are feasible:

1. Central primary chilled water supply (e.g., in hospitals) is already available.

2. A local chiller of a different brand is already available (must fulfill Siemens specifica-
tions).
3. Chilled primary water supply is not available and has to be built up with the dedicated
KKT MR chiller type KCC 215.

NOTE In Germany, DIN 1988 "Technical guideline for tap water installa-
tions" should be part of the planning phase.
Local/country specific regulations/codes will apply in all other
countries.

Available solutions Required system components

Central hospital cooling water supply available 1 SEP 2
Local chiller is available 3 SEP
No cooling water is available KKT chiller 4 and IFP 5 6

1. See specifications for the cooling water supply.

2. SEP = system separator (includes the helium compressor).
3. See specifications for the cooling water supply.
4. See KKT chiller specifications for details; this KKT chiller is mandatory in this case.
5. IFP = interface panel
6. If the IFP will be installed, the helium compressor is separate and will be connected directly to the IFP.

NOTE The pipe/hose dimension between the MR chiller and IFP or cen-
tral water supply and SEP must be 2 inches. If other diameters are
used, the function of the water cooling circuit will be affected.
Check the use of the correct pipe/hose size during the plan-
ning/installation phase.

NOTE Only the KKT chiller type KCC 215 with the IFP panel is used as a
dedicated MAGNETOM Avanto chiller.
For all other chiller types or brands the SEP cabinet must be
installed.

NOTE The delivered water hoses for connecting the SEP primary circuit
are equipped with shut-off valves for the forward and return pipes.
This is to be able to change the SEP cabinet and maintain the pri-
mary strainer, if required.
The 2” on-site pipes for the primary water connection must have a
2” female thread.

Water cooled components

NOTE The helium compressor requires chilled water 24 hours a day.

NOTE With the SEP configuration all Siemens system components

which are water cooled are connected to the secondary water cir-
cuit.
With the KKT chiller/IFP configuration the primary chilled water
which is flowing throught the KKT chiller is also flowing through
all water cooled system components.

The following components are connected to the secondary water cooling circuit.

ACS 25 l/min < 5.0 kW
RFPA 10 l/min < 2.0 kW
Refrigerator 10 l/min < 8.0 kW

NOTE If the system is switched “off” (i.e., water pump is not running), a
static overpressure of 1.0 to 1.5 bar is present in the secondary
water circuit.

Primary Water Specifications 0

Piping material specification

NOTE Pay attention to the use/not use of the materials listed in the table
for the pipework (Piping material specification / p. 174).

NOTE The water circuit between KKT chiller and IFP or central water
supply and SEP has to be flushed before connecting.
The cooling water used has to meet our specifications.

Tab. 18 Piping material

Recommended Not Recommended

Stainless steel (V2A; V4A) Aluminum
Non-ferrous metal (e.g., copper, brass) Iron, carbon steel
Synthetic materials, plastics Zinc-plated steel
Brazing solder,hard solder Zinc
Fitting solder types 3 and 4 Standard steel pipes

CAUTION The pipe/hose dimension between the KKT chiller and IFP or cen-
tral water supply and SEP must be minimum 2” in size. If other
diameters are used, the function of the water cooling circuit will
be affected.
Check the use of the correct pipe/hose size during the
planning/installation phase.

NOTE The 2” water pipes are required for new system installations with
SEP configuration.
If the existing water pipes comply with our water requirement
specifications, they do no have to be modified.
The on-site primary water supply pipes (forward and return) must
be equipedp with a 2” female pipe thread.

NOTE All pipes for the primary water supply must be identified with
labels. The flow direction of the cooling media has to be identified
as well. Local requirements have to be fulfilled.

Pressure loss n.a. across SEP < 1.0 bar
Anti freeze concentra- 35% to maximum 38% ethyl-
tion ene clycol See footnote 5

1. Water/ethylene glycol compound combination is mandatory!

2. Standard tap water is good enough to fill the water circuit!
3. The installed strainer does apply to this value.
4. The installed strainer does apply to this value.
5. There is no ethylene glycol/antifrigen required if the used chiller (other than KKT) or the connected
central water supply does not require ethylene glycol/antifrigen. Due to national/local regulations differ-
ent antifreezing compounds may be used.

NOTE System with dedicated MAGNETOM Avanto KKT KCC 215 Chiller:
The water circuit must be filled with minimum 35% to maximum
38% ethylene glycol.
Never use propylene glycol or automobile anti-freeze.

Primary water supply spezification

The system separator (SEP) is used in building environments where an existing central
water cooling unit or a chiller with the required specifications is already available. The
System Separator is the interface unit between the on-site water supply and the MR sys-
tem.

NOTE If the KKT chiller will not be part of the system configuration a
SEP cabinet must be used.
Only two possibilities can be chosen for the system cooling con-
figuration:
1: SEP cabinet or
2: KKT KCC 215 chiller plus IFP

The IFP (Interface and filter panel) is part of the MR system if the local building environ-
ment does not supply central cooling water. A dedicated KKT MR chiller has to be used in
this case. This KKT MR chiller (KKT type KCC 215) is mandatory for this type of chilled
water supply.
