Fluid injector for x-ray tube and method for providing a liquid anode by liquid metal jet

摘要

A fluid injector for an X-ray tube and a method for providing a liquid anode (8) by liquid metal injection. The present invention relates to a fluid injector (1) for an X-ray tube and a method for providing a liquid anode by liquid metal injection. The fluid injector (1) is for ejecting fluid from the opening (4) of the chamber (3) of the device (2) in the form of a fluid jet formed by the device (5) for changing the volume in the chamber (3). And a reservoir (6) for storing the anode material, which reservoir (6) is connected to the chamber (3) of the device (2) via a conduit (7). Fluid connection. The conduit (7) has a portion (9) formed with a shape for blocking the flow of fluid from the chamber (3) to the reservoir (6) during ejection in the direction of fluid flow. Yes. The method includes ejecting fluid toward the electron beam (15) and replenishing the chamber (3) with liquid metal from the reservoir (6).
