What is dielectric oil, and how is it used in x-ray equipment?

Dielectric oil is an insulating and cooling oil used in high-voltage equipment like x-ray transformers and tubes. Its primary function is to prevent electrical discharges by insulating components, while also absorbing and dissipating heat generated during operation. Dielectric oil must have high dielectric strength and thermal stability to perform these functions effectively. In x-ray equipment, maintaining oil purity is critical to prevent breakdowns. GlobeCore manufactures filtration systems designed to purify dielectric oil, removing moisture, gases, and particles to ensure optimal performance in x-ray applications.
