What factors affect the oil in x-ray tubes?

Several factors affect the oil in x-ray tubes, including operating temperature, moisture, oxidation, and contamination by particles or gases. High temperatures can accelerate oil degradation, while moisture reduces its dielectric strength, increasing the risk of electrical discharge. Oxidation leads to the formation of acids and sludge, which can damage the equipment. Contaminants such as particles or dissolved gases can further degrade the oil. Regular filtration and testing, such as those provided by GlobeCore’s oil purification systems, help mitigate these factors and ensure the oil continues to perform effectively.
