MAGNETRON BLOWER ASSEMBLY
The Magnetron blower assembly is the typical cooling system for the Magnetron tube.
Pictured above is the assembly with the hose and end-bell for use with the EEC Magne-
tron tubes. Each Magnetron tube type uses a different hose and end-bell arrangement but
is similar to the one pictured. A screen shroud is placed over the blower inlet to keep an
object from striking the spinning rotor. The blower is capable of moving approximately
250CFM at 1” of backpressure ensuring maximum cooling of the Magnetron tube
