MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441020352 A) filed by Ge Precision Healthcare Llc, Wauwatosa, U.S.A., on March 19, 2024, for 'forced oil circulation in x-ray tube without external hoses.'
Inventor(s) include Anup G. Nair; John J. Mccabe; and Carey S. Rogers.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An X-ray tube housing is disclosed that has oil channels integrated (e.g., built into) the X-ray tube housing that accommodate a flow of oil through interior spaces of the X-ray tube housing. A first oil channel from a mid-casing portion of the X-ray tube housing to a pump housing inlet is built into the mid-casing portion, and a second oil channel from a pump housing outlet to a heat exchanger located in an anode-side casing is built into the anode-side casing. The integrated oil channels reduce a number of sealing joints, which reduces the opportunities for leaks, and allows an X-ray tube assembly to be assembled with fewer parts."
