Gear pumps for cooling medical devices.

Modern medical devices are delivering ever-higher performance in ever-smaller spaces. X-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI systems, lasers, and laboratory systems generate significant amounts of heat during operation, which must be reliably dissipated. Only a constant temperature ensures high image quality, reproducible measurement results, and a long service life for the sensitive components.

SCHERZINGER develops high-precision gear pumps for closed cooling circuits in medical technology. Our pumps deliver water, water-glycol mixtures, or other cooling media with low pulsation, reliably, and for many years of continuous operation—even under the most demanding operating conditions. Modern imaging systems therefore rely on high-performance liquid cooling systems to efficiently dissipate heat from X-ray tubes, power electronics, and other components.

Cooling: The Key to Maximum Availability

In imaging systems, enormous amounts of heat are generated within a matter of seconds. X-ray tubes, high-voltage generators, and power electronics, in particular, must be continuously cooled to maintain their performance over the long term.

A closed cooling circuit reliably removes heat from the system via heat exchangers. The pump plays a central role in this process: It ensures a constant flow rate and thus uniform heat dissipation—regardless of pressure fluctuations or changing load conditions. Liquid cooling has become the standard, particularly for high-performance X-ray and CT systems, as it dissipates heat significantly more efficiently than air cooling alone.
