8.2 Equipment Heat Output Specifications
This section details the heat output for specific components. These heat outputs define the
maximum condition. Actual heat output and room temperature may vary due to environmental
factors, room insulation, actual usage, and any non-GE Healthcare equipment used in the MR
suite. Also, due to large variations in heat loads, the HVAC system may require unloaders, hot
gas bypass, and reheat to maintain humidity levels.
