About this task

Overview

This procedure describes the replacement of the XRMw gradient coil using the Gradient Coil Insertion and Lift Kit (2164744-7) and requires disposal of coolant. Tell the customer about coolant disposal, and then follow the proper customer coolant disposal procedure.

Preliminary tasks

Procedure

  1. Identify the gradient and busbars to order. See Figure 1.
    Figure 1. Gradient replacement ordering guide
  2. Order the nonmagnetic torque wrench before starting this procedure.
  3. Refer to the MR Service Safety Manual (5452735), and perform LOTO on:
    • PGR PDU/Gradient Subsystem
    • Heat Exchanger Cabinet (HEC)
  4. Remove the end bells, RF body coil, and patient support bridge from the magnet bore referring to the appropriate procedure below before replacing the XRMw gradient coil.
  5. If the magnet is ramped, remove all passive shim trays from the XRMw gradient coil before the installation and store them in a safe place. (The procedure for replacing shim trays can be found in the Magnet and Cryogen Manual for Passively Shimmed Magnets (5495018.)

Removing coolant

Procedure

  1. LOTO should already be applied to the HEC. [Refer to the MR Service Safety Manual (5452735)].
  2. Note: Wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses when removing coolant.
    Turn off PVC valves in coolant supply and return lines at the service end of the gradient coil.
  3. Place an empty 5 gallon bucket close to the service end for discharged coolant.
  4. The connection between hose and fitting is pressure only. To properly remove a hose from the fitting, carefully cut a slit (1) on the manifold hose (avoid damaging the water fitting), and slide it off the barb to disconnect the supply manifold from the fitting.
    1. Repeat for the return line.
    2. Retain the fittings at the site.
    Figure 2. Barb fitting and valve
  5. Note: Do not cut the barb fittings out of the hoses unless the gradient coil needs to be drained and returned. This process makes sure there will be enough hose length to reconnect the fitting to the valve.
    To remove the gradient coil manifold hoses from the PVC valves, use wrenches to unthread the barb fitting from each PVC valve.
  6. Detach the copper block from the magnet.
  7. Slowly disconnect the supply, then the return manifold from the valve, and drain the fluid into the bucket.
    Figure 3. Draining manifold coolant
  8. Disconnect the coolant inlet and outlet lines from the gradient coil, and connect the air hose from the manual pump to the water supply line on the coil.
  9. Operate the air pump while observing the coolant draining from the gradient coil; continue draining the coolant until there is no significant flow at the outlet draining into the container. (Should take about 5 minutes.)
  10. Follow local regulations and the customer’s procedure for proper disposal of the coolant.
  11. Join the supply and return manifold together using a cable tie and kink if necessary. (This forms a closed loop so coolant does not spill out during gradient coil removal.)

Cable removal and busbar cable disconnection

Procedure

  1. At the service end, remove the safety covers from the end of the Y and XZ busbar cable connections.
    Note: Each of the three safety covers is held in place with an M10 x 60 mm stainless steel screw and M10 glass-reinforced washer. Do not discard the flame-retardant white cloth inside each safety cover or the fasteners.
    Figure 4. Safety cover on busbar cable connection
  2. Remove and discard the six flanged M10 nuts and Nord-Lock washers securing the busbar lugs to the gradient coil, and slide the busbar terminal lugs off the coil studs.
    Note: DO NOT remove with the torque wrench.
    • (For gradient REV 16 or lower (see History label on gradient)) Terminals will be an M10 connection.
    • (For gradient REV 17 or higher (Unit Build # and Serial # will be G2BW####, or G3WB#### for PET/MR)) Terminals will have an M12 connection. An "M12" indicator will also be on the busbars. Remove and discard the six M12 SmartBolts and Nord-Lock washers securing the busbar lugs to the gradient coil.

  12. Remove the correct wedges for the system type:
    • For systems with 10 wedges, remove wedges at locations 1 through 8 (in that order) from the patient end of the magnet (shown in Figure 15). Do not remove wedges from locations 9 and 10 at this time.
    • For systems with 4 wedges, remove wedges at locations 3 and 4 from the patient end of the magnet (shown in Figure 16). Do not remove wedges from locations 1 and 2 at this time.

Removing the XRMw coil with a cart

Procedure

  1. Put the tube jacking assembly (5191132) in the cart, making sure the back of the jack assembly fits properly into the cart.
    Figure 19. Jack assembly placement
  2. Maneuver the cart to the patient end of the magnet, and position it in front of the magnet with at least a 2 inch (50.8 mm) gap between the cart and the magnet interface ring (required for lower wedge removal).
    Figure 20. Gap between magnet and cart
  3. Center the cart left-to-right with respect to the magnet bore, and adjust the height of the cart to match the magnet opening.
  4. Release the hand lever on the cart handle to set the brakes, which keeps the cart from moving after the cart is aligned with the bore.
  5. Retrieve the male insertion tube (2284929) and tube standoff (5191626).
    1. Attach the tube standoff to the male insertion tube using the 4 inch, 0.375–16 UNC hex socket screw (5303993) included in the gradient coil insertion and lift kit.
    2. After the standoff is secured to the tube, attach the tube pilot shaft to the standoff.
    Figure 21. Attaching the standoff to the insertion tube
  6. Remove the PVC shield from the brass thread of the male insertion tube.
    Figure 22. PVC shield for the brass thread
  7. Slide the male insertion tube through the tube guide roller assemblies at both sides of the gradient coil, push the pilot shaft through the support plate mounting bearing, and insert a nonmagnetic safety pin through the hole in the pilot shaft.
    Figure 23. Tube pilot shaft and support plate
  8. With one person holding the male insertion tube to keep it from rolling, two people should get the female insertion tube from the shipping crate and thread the two tubes together.
    Note: Each of the two pieces of the gradient insertion tool weighs less than 35 lb (15.9 kg).
    Figure 24. Setting up the insertion tube assembly
  9. Recheck the centering of the cart left-to-right with respect to the magnet bore, and adjust the longitudinal alignment of the cart if necessary.
  10. Simultaneously raise the tube jack and the support plate mounting bearing to lift the gradient coil.
    Figure 25. Raising the XRMw gradient coil
  11. While keeping the coil as close to level with the magnet bore, lift the coil high enough to remove the gradient mounting pads, and remove them from each end of the magnet.
  12. Remove the last two wedges from the patient end and service end of the magnet. (The gradient coil should now be able to rotate freely.)
  13. Lower the gradient coil and adjust it left-to-right, as necessary, to keep it centered within the magnet bore.
  14. Slowly push the gradient coil out of the magnet bore while watching the clearances to the left, right, top, and bottom; adjust the tube jack and support plate mounting bearing as necessary to keep the coil from touching the magnet bore surface.
  15. Rotate the gradient coil until the return coolant line at the service end is oriented downward.
  16. Gradually lower the tube jack and the support plate mounting bearing until the weight of the gradient coil settles on the cart.
  17. Properly secure the gradient coil to the coil cart with gradient coil shipping bracket (5357473).
  18. Remove the insertion tool from the gradient coil.
  19. With three people, move the gradient coil and cart out of the magnet room.

Preparation before XRMw installation

Procedure

  1. While wearing nitrile gloves, wipe the magnet bore using a clean towel and isopropyl alcohol.
  2. Examine the electrical connection terminals at the gradient coil service end.
    1. Inspect the copper terminal surface and the stud thread of the gradient terminals for gauges, surface damage, and any epoxy or threadlocker contamination.
    2. If necessary, clean with an abrasive pad and wipe with alcohol wipes.
  3. Attach three adapter plates (5338222) to the patient end of the gradient coil at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock positions with M10 x 20 mm bolts and M10 nuts. (See Figure 8.)
  4. At the service end of the gradient coil, attach two adapter plates (5338223) at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and adapter plate (5338224) at the 12 o'clock position with M10 x 20 mm bolts and M10 nuts. (See Figure 10.)
  5. Attach adapter plate (5338224) to the service end of the gradient coil at the 12 o'clock position with M10 x 20 mm bolts and nuts as shown in Figure 8.

    1. Attach the tube standoff to the male insertion tube using the 4 inch, 0.375–16 UNC hex socket screw (5303993) included in the gradient coil insertion and lift kit.
    2. After the standoff is secured to the tube, attach the tube pilot shaft to the standoff.
  13. Remove the PVC shield (shown in Figure 22) from the brass thread of the male insertion tube.

Installing the XRMw gradient coil

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the tube support plate assembly (2284928-2) from the gradient coil insertion and lift kit shipping crate, and make sure the Y gradient cables are removed from the magnet.
    1. Make sure the two wing adapters (5339882) are attached with 0.75 inch, 16 x 1.25 inch long stainless steel bolts (1).
    2. Secure the tube support plate assembly and wing adapters to the magnet flange at the service end with M10 studs, spacers, and M10 nuts (2).
    Figure 30. Attaching tube support plate
  2. Adjust the horizontal adjustment screws (3) on the tube support plate assembly until the tube support bearing (4) is centered left-to-right.
    Figure 31. Adjusting support plate
    1Spacer
    2Vertical adjustment lever
    3Horizontal adjustment screws
    4Support bearing
  3. See Figure 18 for the next substeps.
    1. Place the Gradient Mounting Pad, 5352696 (2) on the bottom of the bore at the service end of the magnet so its outer edge is 5 mm, ±1 mm inward from the gradient coil’s outer edge.
    2. Attach the two axial stops (1) to the service end magnet flange with two M10 x 24 mm washers and two silicon-brass M10 x 30 mm hex head screws per stop.
      • To allow future adjustment, tighten the bolt only enough to secure each stop, but do not apply Loctite at this time.
      • These two stops serve as the positioning blocks for XRMw longitudinal or Z axis alignment.
  4. Place the tube jacking assembly (5191132) in the cart, making sure the back of the jack assembly fits properly into the cart. (See Figure 19.)
  5. Move the cart and gradient coil to the patient end of the magnet, and put it in front of the magnet with at least a 2 inch (50.8 mm) gap between the cart and the magnet interface ring (required for lower wedge removal) as shown in Figure 20.
  6. Center the cart left-to-right with respect to the magnet bore.
  7. Release the hand lever on the cart handle to set the brakes, which keeps the cart from moving after the cart is aligned with the bore.
  8. Raise or lower the cradle of the cart as required to vertically align the tube support plate at the magnet and the gradient mounting plates at the gradient coil.
    Figure 32. Adjusting cart height
  9. Slide the male insertion tube through the tube guide roller assemblies at both sides of the gradient coil, making sure the end with the standoff and pilot shaft faces toward the magnet.
  10. With one person holding the male insertion tube to keep it from rolling, two people should obtain the female insertion tube from the shipping crate and thread the two tubes together.
    Figure 33. Setting up insertion tube assembly
  11. Push the complete insertion tube assembly into the magnet bore so the tube pilot shaft is close, but not touching, the tube support plate.
    Figure 34. Complete insertion tube assembly
  12. Align the support plate mounting bearing with the tube pilot shaft by adjusting the vertical height of the support plate bearing using the stainless steel lever, and/or raising or lowering the cart.
  13. Recheck the centering of the cart left-to-right with respect to the magnet bore, and adjust the cart longitudinal alignment if necessary.
  14. Push the pilot shaft through the support plate mounting bearing, and insert a nonmagnetic safety pin through the hole in the pilot shaft. (See Figure 23.)
  15. Raise the tube jack and support plate mounting bearing to lift the gradient coil up, while keeping the coil level with the magnet bore as shown in Figure 25. (The coil should be able to rotate freely when completely lifted off the cart.)
    1. Rotate the gradient coil, if necessary, until the electrical connection terminals at the XRMw service end are oriented upward.
    2. Slowly push the gradient coil into the magnet bore while watching the clearances to the left, right, top, and bottom; adjust the tube jack and support plate mounting bearing as necessary to keep the coil from touching the magnet bore surface.
      Note: Keep hands and loose clothing away from the bore as the coil is being moved into the magnet bore.
  16. Slowly push the gradient coil until stopped by the two axial stops (Item 1 in Figure 18) already attached to the magnet service end flange.
    1. Push the gradient coil against the two stops so the coil end surface has good contact with the vertical side of the two stops.
    2. Raise the support plate bearing to gain more clearance between the coil and the lower wedges if necessary.
  17. Using the M10 studs and nuts, attach the radial alignment tool, 5266408 (1) to the patient end of the magnet at the top of the magnet interface ring so the scribe line (2) is at 0 degrees (3) on the coil.
    Figure 35. Using the radial alignment tool
  18. See Figure 18 for the following substeps:
    1. Place the gradient mounting pad (5352696) (2) on the bottom of the bore at the patient end of the magnet with its outer edge 5 mm, ±1 mm inward from the gradient outer edge.
    2. Attach the two axial stops (1) to the patient end magnet flange with two M10 x 24 mm washers and two silicon-brass M10 x 30 mm hex head bolts per stop.
    3. Slowly rotate the gradient coil to align its 0° scribe line with the slot opening in the radial alignment tool. Once it is aligned, insert the thumbscrew through the alignment tool slot and thread it into the 0° hole in the gradient coil. (See Figure 35.)
  19. Shake the container, apply red Loctite 271 to the two axial stops in the patient end magnet flange, and then tighten the brass bolts securely to the stops.
    1. Apply one or two drops of red Loctite 271 to the holes in the patient end magnet flange.
    2. Slowly lower the support plate bearing and tube jack so the full weight of the XRMw gradient coil is loaded onto the lower wedges.
      Figure 36. Lowering the XRMw gradient coil with the alignment tool
  20. Install the wedges (with one G10 washer and one brass M10 x 35 mm hex head bolt per wedge) on the patient end of the magnet flange in the order shown for the applicable 10- or 4-wedge system. (See Figure 15 or Figure 16.)
  21. After the wedge is fitted firmly into the slot, secure it to the gradient coil flange using one G10 washer (5146169) and one brass hex-head M10 x 35 screw (5110638-65).
    1. Shake the bottle, then apply Loctite 271 to the engagement portion of the brass bolt.
    2. Securely tighten the brass bolt to each wedge to a torque of 13 N m to 16 N m (10 ft-lb to 12 ft-lb), in the order installed, and onto the axial stops.
    3. If a bolt appears to be bottomed out, use a second G10 washer. Do not use more than two washers on any location.
    4. Make sure there is a gap between the wedges and the gradient coil flange after tightening the bolts.
  22. Repeat Step 19 through Step 21 at the service end of the magnet.
  23. Properly attach the gradient coil to the cart. (See Figure 26.)
  24. Remove the radial alignment tool, and restore the original screws on the magnet interface ring.
  25. Note: Observe the following:
    • Always use the new Nord-Lock washers that come with the FRU package. Do not reuse the old Nord-Lock washers and stainless steel flanged nuts.
    • Nord-Lock washers consist of two pieces, which are generally glued together. Always use a complete set with two pieces joined together in correct orientation. Do not use a separated single piece.
      Figure 37. Nord-Lock washer configuration
    • Inspect the gradient coil terminal surface for contaminants or gouges, and clean the surface before installing the busbar terminal.
    Reinstall the busbar cables to the new gradient coil, placing a new Nord-Lock washer over each M12 SmartBolt prior to torquing in place.
    Figure 38. SmartBolt
  26. Install the copper spacer on the stud before making the cable connection.
  27. Discard the old washers.
  28. Set the torque wrench to 59 ft-lb (80 N m), and install the 17 mm socket onto the extension.
    Note: Make sure that the arrow on the torque wrench is visible. If the arrow is not visible, the torque wrench will not click when the proper torque is reached.
    Figure 39. Arrow on the nonmagnetic torque wrench
  29. Torque the M12 SmartBolt in the direction of the arrow until the torque wrench reaches the break point.
  30. Check the SmartBolt when the torque wrench reaches its break point. If the indicator is still red, then the bolt has not been seated properly; replace the bolt. If the indicator is black, then you have completed the torquing process.
    Figure 40. SmartBolt indicators
  31. Repeat this process for all M12 SmartBolts.
  32. Reinstall the safety covers over the gradient terminal connections.
    1. Make sure the flame-retardant white cloth is folded out around the edges of the safety cover with no gaps between the safety cover and the gradient coil.
    2. Secure the safety cover over each set of terminals with an M10 x 60 mm stainless steel fastener and M10 glass-reinforced flat washer, and tighten the fasteners.
      Figure 41. Cable terminals for Y and XZ busbars

      2XZ busbar cable terminal
      3XZ busbar cable terminal
  33. To connect the XRMw coil manifold:
    1. Remove the copper block and hose assembly from the removed gradient coil, and replace the 165 mm (1) and 150 mm (2) hoses with pieces cut from the hose material provided in the replacement gradient kit.
      Figure 42. Return outlet and supply inlet hoses
    2. Secure the hose pieces at the nylon elbows with hose clamps (46-252065P155), then fully cover the hose clamps with a few wraps of the linerless rubber splicing tape (46-294167P91) or electrical tape.
    3. Reinstall the copper block on the magnet, and connect the large diameter hoses to the PVC valves.
    4. Before pushing the 165 mm hose onto the hose barb elbow, slide a hose clamp (46-252065P155) over the end of the hose.
    5. Push the 165 mm hose onto the nylon hose barb elbow for the gradient return outlet, and secure the hose in place with the hose clamp.
    6. Fully cover the metal hose clamp using a few wraps of the splicing or electrical tape.
    7. Repeat the above steps to connect the 150 mm hose to the gradient supply inlet.
    8. Recharge the system with coolant and check for leaks. (See XRMw Manifold Replacement.)

Finalization

Procedure

  1. Remove all parts of the gradient insertion tool from the XRMw gradient coil and return them to the crate; properly store all components.
  2. Reinstall all passive shim trays into their proper slots. [The procedure for replacing shim trays is in the Magnet and Cryogen Manual for Passively Shimmed Magnets (5495018).]
  3. Connect the B0 power supply to connection P304-1 on the magnet, plug the B0 tester into AC power, and quench the B0 coil in the magnet by depressing and holding the white button for at least one minute.
  4. Do passive shimming; refer to the Magnet and Cryogen Manual for Passively Shimmed Magnets (5495018).
  5. Restore the front body coil; see RF Body Coil Replacement. Have the previously contacted, properly trained body coil tuning expert tune the RF body coil.
  6. Remove LOTO from the PGR PDU/gradient subsystem and the HEC. Refer to the MR Service Safety Manual (5452735).
  7. Reconnect the manifold of the gradient coil to the supply and return lines.
  8. See HEC Coolant Fill and Coolant Leak Check to add coolant to the Heat Exchanger (HE) reservoir, turn on the HE pumps, and check the coolant system for leaks. (The volume added should be close to that of the drained coolant.)
  9. Reinstall these components:
  10. Do the following calibrations:
  11. Do a SaveInfo, using the Save and Restore Tool, to capture new calibration values.
