One way of ensuring that these components are working properly is to invest in a remote monitoring service. SWMR, for instance, offers a real-time RDU/Helium Zero Service Platform, in which a team of experts remotely monitor these components to identify and alert providers to any maintenance needs or problems.
The solution is offered as part of a $1,200 per month contract that includes labor and expenses, as well as coverage for preexisting conditions. “Being able to know in real time when the chiller or coldhead is off is crucial. Being able to see increased cycling of your cooling equipment or reduced heater duty cycles are just a few parameters that the team at Thermo Magnetics & Cryogen monitors to detect failures of the cooling systems before they actually fail, saving you time, money, and providing peace of mind,” said Mykleby.

He also says that new low volume and self-contained helium magnets are available, as are zero boil-off MRs, which have been on the market for over 20 years. But he warns that even with these solutions, providers should still have precautions in place to detect and address failures immediately.
“Even though these magnets are designed to be zero boil-off, the key to maintain a zero boil-off MR is in the service model you deploy,” said Mykleby. “Having access to real-time data and a proactive service model can essentially eliminate your need for liquid helium.”
