Alien X 3D Ready: the most complete C-arm on the market
Alien X 3D Ready is equipped with the most advanced software to offer unparalleled performance:
High frequency generators
The EPB and EPA systems have been specifically developed by Eurocolumbus for clinical applications requiring high instantaneous power peaks, allowing energy to be drawn from existing electrical systems equipped with 13 – 16 A electrical sockets.
Why don’t we use the monoblock system?
Because only in this way is it possible to use tubes with higher anode capacities and smaller overall dimensions compared to the monoblock technology. In a monoblock system, the heat produced by the X-ray tube is added to that produced by the generator.
EPB
(Eurocolumbus Power Boost) is an energy reserve that stabilizes the voltage and increases the inverter performance to avoid fluctuations during long and demanding radiological emissions.
EPA
(Eurocolumbus Pulse Advanced) is a function that creates from 0.5 to 30 pulses or images per second, a wide range of possibilities to guarantee images without slow motion effect with the possibility of automatic variation.
Obviously if the housing has the same declared dissipation of a system with a generator separate from the X-ray tube, the monoblock system is less efficient since the total dissipation will not contribute to the cooling of the tube alone, but of the monoblock system which also includes the generator.
Therefore, the system with a separate generator, with the same dissipation of the housing, guarantees better cooling of the X-ray tube.
