医院通常有几个医用x射线处理器，每天24小时、每年365天运行。市场上35台机组的公布水流量范围为。每分钟2到2.5加仑（gpm），但在实践中可以以更高的速率流动。指定在2.5 gpm下运行的装置非常常见，而。2个gpm单位很少见。这项研究测试了一项新技术，该技术将水循环至胶片处理器，从而将消耗量降至每年约35000加仑。洛杉矶水电局已经让几位客户安装了设备，并通过一个专门用于测量处理器流量的仪表进行了验证。 为了获得更精确的效果信息，欧文牧场水区使用了一个数据记录器，在安装前后连续记录流量。在所有情况下，设备运行良好，节省了预期的水量。包括桌子。

Hospitals commonly have several medical x-ray processors operating 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Published water flow rates for the 35 units on the market range from.2 to 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), but can flow at much higher rates in practice. Units specified to operate at 2.5 gpm are very common while the.2 gpm units are rare. This study tested a new technology that re-circulates the water to the film processor thereby reducing consumption to approximately 35,000 gallons per year. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has had several customers install the equipment with the savings verified by a meters specifically placed to measure processor flows. To gain more precise information on the effect, Irvine Ranch Water District used a datalogger that continuously recorded the flow prior to and after the installation. In all cases, the equipment performed well and saved the anticipated amount of water. Includes table.
