For drying and degassing oil used in CT/X‑ray tubes I’d use a small-capacity oil purification unit that provides heat plus vacuum dehydration/degassing together with mechanical filtration — the CMM-0.4 or CMM-0.6 are specifically suited to X‑ray machine oil, removing dissolved moisture and gases and stripping particles to give the deep purification required for high-voltage insulation. After purification, use a dedicated vacuum oil filling/top‑up unit (UVD) for controlled, small‑volume vacuum filling of high‑voltage ports (typical workflows reference ~30 L preparation and ~4 L filling) to avoid entrapped air and ensure reliable dielectric performance.
If you need much higher throughput or are processing larger batches, step up to a CMM-15 degassing plant (about 15 m³/h capacity) which offers degassing, drying and filtration in a single unit. In all cases verify the oil’s moisture and dissolved gas content and perform a clean vacuum fill under controlled conditions to protect CT/X‑ray tube HV insulation and maximize reliability.

For drying and degassing the oil used in CT tubes, we recommend a CMM-1.0LT oil purification unit manufactured by GlobeCore. This equipment is designed for thermal vacuum treatment of insulating oils and effectively removes dissolved moisture, gases, and particulate matter. The vacuum drying and degassing process helps reclaim the dielectric properties of the oil and improve the reliability of high-voltage equipment operation. For applications with different oil volumes or specific purity requirements, GlobeCore can select a suitable configuration from the CMM range of oil treatment systems.

The CMM-1.0LT oil purification unit is an appropriate choice for CT‑tube oil drying and degassing: it uses thermal vacuum drying combined with staged mechanical filtration to remove dissolved moisture, entrained gases and particulates from insulating oil, restoring dielectric strength and improving high‑voltage insulation reliability. The unit draws oil through a coarse (~200 μm) prefilter into a heated vacuum tank where a two‑stage vacuum system (backing pump plus booster) strips moisture and gases, then returns oil through adjustable fine filters (0.3–5 μm); practical performance targets are about 1 m³/h capacity, outlet temperature ~55 °C, output pressure ~3 bar, heater power ≤12 kW on 380 V 3‑phase supply, with treated oil gas content typically ≤1.5% and moisture down to the order of 10 ppm.
If you have larger volumes or tighter purity targets, the CMM family is configurable to suit different throughput and cleanliness requirements; also plan a controlled vacuum oil filling/top‑up step after treatment to avoid reintroducing air and to ensure consistent dielectric performance in the CT/X‑ray tube high‑voltage system.
