Abstract

An equipped forced-convection housing unit for a rotating-anode X-ray tube comprises a flow-initiating device which is integrated in the housing unit and has the function of circulating the coolant fluid surrounding the X-ray tube. This arrangement simplifies the problems relating to supply of electric power to the motor which drives the flow-initiating device and the motor which drives the anode of the X-ray tube in rotation.
