Assessing Water Cooling System Performance: Lz-Transform Method

Abstract

Modern high-tech medical equipment requires precise temperature control and effective cooling, which allow medical equipment to be operated for longer periods and increased in availability of the equipment to patients. This paper presents the application of the Lz-transform method to assessing cooling performance of aging multi-state cooling system for MRI equipment. Straightforward Markov method applied to solve this problem will require building of a system model with numerous numbers of states and solving a corresponding system of multiple differential equations. Lz-transform method, which is used for assessing of the system performance for this cooling system, drastically simplified the solution.
