Franance currently lists the SHI Advanced Technologies RDE-412D4 two-stage 4K MRI cryocooler cold head under MRI cold heads. SHI describes RDE-412D4 as a Gifford-McMahon cryocooler used with superconducting magnets, including MRI. The cold head is only one component of a cryocooler arrangement. Compressor, helium lines, cables, interfaces, magnet compatibility and service scope must be confirmed for the specific MRI installation. Browse the SHI MRI cold-head listing to see the model currently assigned to this Franance category. SHI's product documentation is useful for confirming model data and possible package components. It does not establish Nigerian stock, export eligibility, price, local installation coverage, warranty, Franance authorization or compatibility with a particular scanner. Franance takes quotation orders rather than online payments. Submit the MRI magnet and cryostat information, installed cold-head and compressor references, service history, destination and timing; Franance can follow up by email or phone. An MRI engineer and the system manufacturer or qualified service provider should confirm compatibility and work scope before any replacement is approved.

Send a quote request with the full magnet manufacturer and model, cryostat reference, installed cold-head part number, compressor model and serial information where available. State whether you need the cold head only or a complete matched cryocooler package, along with helium-line length and routing, cables, accessories, maintenance tools and documentation. Share the facility city and state, but omit patient or confidential system data that is not necessary for equipment identification.
Ask for a written response that identifies the exact SHI reference, offered condition, compatible compressor and lines, current availability, export or import assumptions, price and currency, quote validity, delivery destination, installation responsibilities and warranty or service terms. Franance follows up on quote orders by email or phone. A request does not reserve equipment and is not a completed purchase. Confirm every technical and commercial point before authorizing work or issuing an order.
What is SHI Advanced Technologies and what product is listed?
SHI Advanced Technologies is the current name used for the Sumitomo Heavy Industries cryogenics business, formerly known as the SHI Cryogenics Group. The manufacturer portfolio includes cryocoolers and compressors for several industries. Franance's current brand assignment in this category is the RDE-412D4 4K cryocooler cold head. This guide addresses that listed product and its quote requirements; it does not imply that Franance offers every SHI model or has a service partnership with SHI.
The RDE-412D4 is a two-stage Gifford-McMahon cryocooler model. SHI lists it for superconducting magnet use and describes compressor options and helium-line configurations. A system installation may include a cold head, compressor, helium gas lines, cold-head cable, power cable, hose nipples and a tool kit, with the selected items dependent on the compressor option. The exact package must be matched to the installed MRI magnet and existing system interface.
MRI cryogenics are safety-critical service components. A cold-head replacement must be coordinated with the scanner's service documentation, magnet and cryostat specifications, helium system, compressor, facility engineering and clinical service schedule. Do not treat a product listing as authorization to service a scanner. Only appropriately trained and qualified personnel should plan and perform the installation using current manufacturer instructions and site procedures.
What are the published RDE-412D4 specifications?
SHI lists the RDE-412D4 second-stage capacity as 1.25 W at 4.2 K for 50 or 60 Hz configurations. The manufacturer lists first-stage capacities of 53 W at 43 K on 50 Hz and 60 W at 43 K on 60 Hz. SHI notes that capacities are reduced when operated with certain F-40 or FA-40 compressor configurations, so the selected compressor matters when interpreting the published figure.
The product page lists a reference minimum temperature below 3.5 K and cooldown time to 4.2 K below 60 minutes. SHI explicitly labels these values as reference only. They do not guarantee performance in a particular magnet, cryostat, compressor or installation. The page lists a weight of about 20 kg and dimensions of 554 × 180 × 306 mm, but packaging, fittings and service clearance should be checked in the engineering drawing for the exact configuration.
The published data also gives maintenance at 10,000 hours and regulatory compliance statements for the product. Confirm the maintenance interval and applicable conformity documents for the specific offered item, market and service conditions. Do not assume that a generic specification proves the configuration has current local approvals or is acceptable for a particular MRI system. Request the current product datasheet, drawing and applicable instructions alongside the quotation.
Is the SHI RDE-412D4 compatible with my MRI scanner?
Compatibility cannot be determined from the cold-head model name alone. The RDE-412D4 may be used for MRI and superconducting magnets, but SHI's materials do not make it a universal replacement for any scanner. Match the cold-head interface and performance requirements to the magnet and cryostat manufacturer, existing cold head, compressor, gas lines, electrical cabling and system revision. Different scanner generations and installed configurations may require different hardware or procedures.
Before requesting a quote, record the scanner manufacturer and model, magnet and cryostat identifiers, existing cold-head model, compressor make and model, power frequency, helium line length, connections and maintenance history. If a part number cannot be read safely, have qualified service staff identify it from approved equipment records. Avoid opening covers or disturbing the magnet system solely to gather information.
Ask the MRI manufacturer or qualified service provider to verify the exact RDE-412D4 interface, compressor combination, gas line and cable requirements, tooling and replacement procedure. Request the confirmation in writing and include it in the procurement file. The product's general MRI application does not establish compatibility with your scanner or authorize installation. If the existing configuration cannot be verified, treat the model match as unresolved before purchasing.
What compressor and system components should I request?
SHI's product page lists compatible compressor options and states that the RDE-412D4 standard scope varies by the selected compressor. Options include F-series, E-77, FA-50 and EC-77 configurations, with specific variants and lines. These combinations are not interchangeable by assumption. Request the precise compressor model, cooling method, voltage and frequency, helium lines, cable lengths, power lead, hose fittings and buffer tank requirements relevant to the installed system.
State whether the requested supply is only a cold head or a complete cryocooler package. Identify any compressor, line or cable that will be reused and have an engineer confirm its condition and compatibility. Ask the quotation to distinguish parts included in the price from components that must be supplied separately. Confirm if the tool kit, replacement gaskets, service consumables, manuals and installation equipment are included.
Provide the required route and lengths for helium gas lines and cables, including any room or cabinet constraints. Ask whether an installation drawing, line-routing review or site inspection is required and who will perform it. The standard scope on a manufacturer page is not proof that every listed component accompanies a Nigerian quote. Require the proposal to enumerate actual item references, quantities and exclusions.
What should I include in an SHI cold-head quotation request?
Name the RDE-412D4 and explain whether you need a replacement cold head or a new matched system. Include scanner and magnet information, cryostat reference, installed cold-head and compressor identifiers, operating frequency and known line or cable details. State the desired quantity, required condition, destination, target date and whether engineering review, installation, commissioning, training or service support is requested.
Attach non-confidential equipment specification pages or service records if they help identify interfaces. Avoid patient information, security credentials and records that the supplier does not need. If the scanner is under a service contract, verify with the contract owner whether third-party parts or work affect existing terms before requesting service. This is a procurement precaution, not a claim that any specific agreement applies.
Ask the quote to list cold head, compressor, helium lines, cables, fittings, tool kit and documentation separately. Require confirmation of current availability, origin and export eligibility where relevant, price, currency, validity, lead time, delivery cost and destination. Ask for the warranty and service route that actually apply to the offered item. Include any engineering review or installation scope and identify the qualified party responsible for the MRI system work.
How do I plan SHI cryocooler service and installation?
Plan with the MRI system owner, clinical operations, biomedical engineering, facilities, safety and qualified MRI service personnel. Review the magnet manufacturer's approved procedure, system status, access restrictions, cryogenics and electrical isolation requirements, tooling, work permits and patient service impact. A cold-head change is not a routine general-equipment setup; it involves a superconducting magnet assembly and must be handled by personnel with the appropriate competence and authorization.
Before work begins, confirm the precise parts, inspection criteria, service procedure, downtime window, contingency plan and documentation. Have the service provider state which tests or measurements are included, what constitutes acceptance, what condition must be restored and which records will be delivered. Confirm responsibility for commissioning, any system restart checks and return to clinical service. The quotation should identify exclusions and any manufacturer-dependent approvals.
Do not infer that SHI's global sales and service network means local Nigerian service coverage for this specific system or offer. Confirm the named service provider, geographic coverage, qualifications, response conditions, spare parts and commercial terms in writing. Franance can review the requested quote scope, but no Franance or local SHI authorization is claimed by this guide. Obtain a clear service arrangement before scheduling a replacement.
What determines the price of an SHI RDE-412D4 in Nigeria?
Price depends first on whether the quote covers the cold head alone or a complete package. Compressor selection, helium line and cable lengths, fittings, tool kit, documentation, quantity, condition, availability and import route may change the offer. Freight, customs or other import charges, destination, currency, exchange assumptions and validity period can also affect the total. Engineering, installation, commissioning and service are separate scope items unless the supplier explicitly includes them.
SHI's technical pages and product literature provide specifications, not a current Nigerian price. Franance processes quote orders and follows up by email or phone. Request an itemised proposal in the required currency, with the exact cold-head and compressor references, accessories, price validity, delivery basis, estimated lead time and costs not included. Confirm whether a named price assumes a particular compressor or frequency, because operating capacity may depend on that selection.
Compare offers only after the complete system configuration is aligned with your MRI equipment and service requirements. A lower price for a cold head without matching lines, cables, compatibility verification or installation is not equivalent to a complete replacement scope. Confirm commercial availability, export conditions and the written warranty for the exact supply rather than relying on general product information.
Can Franance deliver SHI MRI parts to my city in Nigeria?
The category page does not confirm shipping coverage, export eligibility, delivery cost or timing for a specific Nigerian destination. Include the final hospital or service facility address, city and state in the quote request. Note any receiving dock, loading restrictions, access hours, security process or requirement for delivery coordination with the MRI engineer. These details help the quote scope but do not constitute a delivery agreement.
Ask the proposal to state the delivery destination, freight basis, customs or import responsibilities, expected schedule, handling and insurance terms if applicable. Clarify whether delivery is to the hospital entrance, biomedical workshop or MRI suite and who is responsible for moving equipment within the building. For installation requests, identify the service provider, qualifications, travel charges, availability and work scope. Confirm whether the part may be legally exported and imported under the proposed route.
Franance can respond to a quote order with proposed availability and terms for the stated destination. National delivery, local stock, import permission and service coverage cannot be inferred from the catalogue or SHI's global site. Obtain written confirmation for the specific model and location before scheduling work or placing an order.
What should I verify before accepting an SHI quotation?
Check that the proposal identifies RDE-412D4, the exact compressor option, helium lines, cable lengths, fittings and supplied accessories. Compare the configuration against the installed scanner, magnet, cryostat and current SHI data. Verify published capacity conditions, operating frequency and reference performance notes. If the quote changes a component or configuration, request the full alternative references and have qualified MRI service personnel confirm equivalence before approval.
Review current manufacturer instructions, service requirements, drawings, conformity documents and any market-specific approvals. Confirm the service provider's qualifications and authorization for the MRI system. Establish who owns installation, pressure or leak testing if applicable, operational checks, system restart, acceptance, documentation and return to clinical use. The exact tests and responsibilities should be defined by the approved MRI procedure and agreement.
Separately review price, currency, validity, availability, delivery, import responsibilities, installation, warranty, service response, parts support and exclusions. Request all terms in writing and retain them with the equipment file. Product literature does not guarantee stock or service, and the current Franance listing is only a starting point for a quote order. Do not accept a proposed replacement until both technical compatibility and commercial scope are clear.
How do I request an SHI RDE-412D4 quotation from Franance?
Open the SHI MRI cold-head listing and submit a quote request for the RDE-412D4. Include the scanner and magnet details, installed cold-head and compressor references, gas-line and cable information, required supply scope, destination, quantity and desired schedule. Identify any MRI engineering review, installation or service requirement and name the team that will approve technical compatibility.
Franance follows up by email or phone; the workflow does not collect online payment for the cold head. Submitting an enquiry does not reserve a unit or guarantee supply. Ask the response to state exact part numbers, availability and export conditions, package contents, price and currency, validity, delivery basis, installation scope, warranty and service terms. Ask for current manufacturer documentation and compatibility confirmation for your scanner.
Have biomedical engineering and the MRI service owner review the proposal before procurement approval. If any detail is unresolved, request written clarification rather than relying on an assumption based on model name or general MRI application. Avoid sending patient data or access credentials. Retain the approved quote, compatibility review, installation procedure and acceptance records with the system's service file.
