Abstract
A safety device for an X-ray unit comprises an X-ray tube protected by a casing and cooled by a fluid circulating between the tube and the casing. This device is aimed at preventing any excess pressure of the cooling fluid in the casing. It comprises a rigid, hermetically sealed and vacuum-tight cavity connected to the circuit of the fluid by a hydraulic connector with a high flow rate, designed to open mechanically and automatically under the effect of the fluid, by a pressure that exceeds a predetermined threshold.
