GlobeCore FAQ

We need equipment for processing oil used in X-ray transformers and X-ray tubes. What equipment and technologies would you recommend for this application?

    For oil used in X-ray transformers and X-ray tubes you typically need two things: deep removal of dissolved moisture/gases (to prevent electrical breakdown) and clean, controlled vacuum filling/top-up for small volumes. GlobeCore’s CMM-0.4 / CMM-0.6 units are positioned specifically for X-ray machine oil purification, combining heat + vacuum dehydration/degassing with mechanical filtration to remove particles. For service work on compact HV assemblies, the GlobeCore UVD Vacuum Oil Filling Unit is a practical match: it prepares/degasses oil and supports vacuum filling/top-up for high-voltage ports, with small batch handling (30 L preparation, 4 L filling section).

    In addition to the equipment already mentioned (such as compact vacuum purification units and vacuum filling systems), it’s important to consider that oil processing for X-ray transformers is not just about cleaning — it’s about achieving and maintaining very strict dielectric and purity parameters over time.
    For instance, even small amounts of moisture or dissolved gas can drastically reduce dielectric strength — in some cases by several times, which is critical for high-voltage X-ray systems. Therefore, technologies based on thermal vacuum dehydration and degassing combined with fine filtration are essential, especially in compact units such as the CMM-0.4, or the CMM-0.6, which are specifically designed for small oil volumes and precise applications.
    Another important aspect is multi-stage processing: oil is typically passed through coarse and fine filters, then heated and exposed to vacuum to remove both free and dissolved contaminants. This staged technique ensures restoration of dielectric properties and long-term stability of the equipment. In practice, this also allows maintenance teams to reuse oil safely instead of changing it, which is particularly relevant for service centers handling multiple X-ray machines.
    If you want a detailed overview of how compact purification systems are applied, specifically in X-ray machines, including the operation principles and the equipment configurations, it’s worth reviewing this article: https://globecore.com/oil-processing/purification-of-transformer-oil-in-x-ray-machines-with-the-cmm-0-4-unit/.

    You’re absolutely right that achieving and sustaining strict dielectric and purity parameters is the core requirement for X-ray transformer and tube oils, so choose equipment that combines staged mechanical filtration, thermal treatment and vacuum degassing. For compact, on‑site service work the CMM-0.4 and CMM-0.6 vacuum purification units are specifically configured for X‑ray oil: they provide coarse and fine filtration, controlled heating and vacuum dehydration/degassing to restore dielectric strength, and meet stringent outlet targets (breakdown performance in the high kV range and ISO cleanliness suitable for HV equipment). For clean, repeatable top‑ups and to avoid air recontamination, use a vacuum filling unit (UVD) that degasses small batches and performs sealed vacuum fills; for higher throughput or workshop/service-center needs you can step up to the wider CMM family models.

    In practice, operate the system as a multi‑stage process: coarse filtration to remove bulk solids, fine filtration for particles to meet ISO cleanliness targets, then thermal vacuum dehydration/degassing to remove free and dissolved moisture and gases. Verify results with routine testing — breakdown voltage, moisture by Karl Fischer (ppm), particle counts (ISO 4406), and dissolved gas analysis (DGA) when relevant — and monitor vacuum level and processing temperature to ensure effective degassing. Use dedicated sorbent cartridges for final drying when necessary, store processed oil sealed and inerted if possible, and perform periodic rechecks to maintain dielectric stability; this lets maintenance teams safely reuse oil and extend service intervals while protecting high‑voltage X‑ray equipment.
