| I.P Abstract & Summary |
There is provided an insulating oil reloading system for an X-ray tube module, the system comprising: an X-ray tube module containing an insulating oil therein, wherein the X-ray tube module has an insulating oil communication portion at a first end thereof; a waste oil collection subsystem to collect the insulating oil discharged from the X-ray tube module via the insulating oil communication portion using a vacuum pressure; a degassing and supplying subsystem to supply a new insulating oil to the X-ray tube module using a vacuum pressure and to degas the new insulating oil using a vacuum pressure; a buffer unit fluid-coupled, at a first end thereof, selectively to the waste oil collection subsystem or the degassing and supplying subsystem, and fluid-coupled, at a second end thereof opposite to the first end, to the insulating oil communication portion to define a flow channel of the insulating oil; and a support having an orientation-changing unit rotatably coupled thereto. |
