H0296 High-Capacity Oil-Air Cooling System
PMI x-ray tube cooling systems remove heat from the x-ray tube permitting increased tube loading and faster cooling. This allows greater throughput, longer operation and extends tube life. Several PMI designs not only cool the tube but replace some of the functions of the x-ray tube housing. Custom units have been developed to meet customer application requirements.
The versatile H0296 cooling unit was developed to perform functions other than cooling the x-ray tube. With selectable options the unit can be used to "top off" and continuously maintain clean and gas-free circulation. With the accumulator as a part of the cooling system the size of the x-ray tube unit can be reduced. Pressure, flow and temperature monitoring devices are optional to protect the x-ray tube. This cooling system can also be used to process and oil fill x-ray tubes in the field or repair/replacement facilities.
