Why is insulating oil used in x-ray tubes?

Insulating oil is used in x-ray tubes to provide both electrical insulation and cooling. High-voltage components in x-ray tubes generate significant heat, and the oil helps dissipate this heat, preventing overheating. Additionally, the oil forms an insulating barrier, preventing electrical discharges that could damage the equipment or pose a safety hazard. Over time, the oil can accumulate contaminants, reducing its effectiveness. GlobeCore provides equipment for filtering and purifying the oil in x-ray tubes, ensuring that it continues to perform its insulating and cooling functions effectively throughout the lifespan of the tube.
