X-ray tube window cooling apparatus

摘要

An x-ray tube window cooling assembly (11) for an x-ray tube (18) includes an electron collector body (110). The electron collector body (110) is thermally coupled to an x-ray tube window (102). The electron collector body (110) includes a coolant circuit (112) with a coolant inlet (114) and a coolant outlet (122). Multiple thermal exchange devices are coupled to the coolant circuit (112) and reduce temperature of a coolant passing through the exchange devices.
