Abstract
An X-ray tube device capable of reducing an amount of work required in the operation of its replacement, and of eliminating a wasteful replacement of a still operational part of the device. The device includes an X-ray tube; at least one heat exchanger for cooling the X-ray tube by using a circulation of insulating oil; a plurality of oil hoses for transmitting the insulating oil between the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger; and at least one coupler for connecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger through the oil hoses by being in a coupled state, and for disconnecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger through the oil hoses by being in a decoupled state.
Claims10
An X-ray tube device, comprising:
- an X-ray tube;
- at least one heat exchanger means for cooling the X-ray tube by using a circulation of insulating oil;
- a plurality of oil hoses for transmitting the insulating oil between the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means;
- and
- at least one coupler means for connecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means through the oil hoses by being in a coupled state, and for disconnecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means through the oil hoses by being in a decoupled state, each coupler means having one coupling end equipped with an oil pan to be filled with the insulating oil at a time of forming the coupled state with another coupling end.
An X-ray tube device, comprising:
- an X-ray tube;
- at least one heat exchanger means for cooling the X-ray tube by using a circulation of coolant fluid;
- a plurality of coolant hoses for transmitting the coolant fluid between the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means;
- and
- at least one coupler means for connecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means through the coolant hoses by being in a coupled state, and for disconnecting the X-ray tube and the heat exchanger means through the coolant hoses by being in a decoupled state, each coupler means having one coupling end equipped with a coolant pan to be filled with the coolant fluid at a time of forming the coupled state with another coupling end.
