Abstract
A detector device includes a cooling air pathway for cooling an X-ray detector. The detector device furthermore includes a detector interior space surrounding the X-ray detector. The cooling air pathway runs through at least one subregion of the detector interior space. The detector device includes a pressure limitation unit with a limitation device arranged along the cooling air pathway. The limitation device is designed, based on an incoming cooling air flow, to route a limited volume flow along the cooling air pathway at the X-ray detector.
Claims23
A detector device, comprising:
- a cooling air pathway, formed by sidewalls, to cool an X-ray detector, a detector interior space surrounding the X-ray detector, the cooling air pathway running through at least one subregion of the detector interior space;
- and
- a pressure limitation unit including a limitation device, arranged along the cooling air pathway, the limitation device being designed to route a limited volume flow along the cooling air pathway at the X-ray detector, based on an incoming cooling air flow, wherein the limitation device includes a turbulence-producing body in the cooling air pathway.
