The paper presents various designs of several medium and small size Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) chambers intended
for numerous applications, a description of technologies used in these facilities, and some results reached with these
devices by using a number of diagnostic techniques. In present experiments the DP foci have been used mainly as an X-ray
source. We discuss here how it is possible to satisfy absolutely new and very strict demands on the construction and technology
for the devices to be eventually applied in science and industry. Between these characteristics there are a high repetition
rate (typically 1…15 Hz) and a long lifetime (over 1 million shots). Their switching elements, a collector and chambers must
withstand a high quasi-continuous heat load (up to 100 kW). High energy density in the central part of the chamber anode
and the necessity to provide a channel for radiation extraction demanded a special construction and specific materials implementation
in this region. Their X-ray spectrum should be tuned. They have to operate with different working gases and
preferably in a wide range of pressures. All these points are discussed in this report. Capabilities of the described techniques
are illustrated by results of the recent experimental studies carried out with facilities located at the Nanyang Technological
University (NX1) as well as at the Lebedev Physical Institute (PF-0.2).
