Why is oil used in x-ray tubes?

Oil is used in x-ray tubes primarily for its dual role in insulation and cooling. High-voltage components within the x-ray tube generate significant heat, and the oil helps dissipate this heat, preventing overheating. Additionally, the oil provides electrical insulation, preventing electrical discharges that could damage the equipment or pose safety risks. Over time, the oil can accumulate contaminants, so regular maintenance, including filtration to remove impurities, is essential. GlobeCore offers solutions for purifying oil used in x-ray tubes, ensuring its continuous effectiveness in both cooling and insulation.
