Several factors can affect the performance of x-ray tube oil, including temperature, moisture content, oxidation, and contamination with particles or gases. High operating temperatures can accelerate oil degradation, while moisture reduces the oil’s dielectric strength, leading to electrical discharge risks. Oxidation forms acids and sludge that can damage the equipment. Regular testing and maintenance, including the use of filtration systems like those from GlobeCore, help manage these factors and ensure that the oil continues to perform effectively in providing insulation and cooling.
