Classification: CPC H  B | IPC B  H

Claim 14:
15. A material surface treatment system comprising:
an electrode to generate an electric discharge to treat a material; and
a cooling system comprising:
a conduit to convey a cooling fluid through the electrode; and
a voltage isolator disposed between the conduit and a reservoir, the voltage isolator configured to provide a pathway to a reference voltage for residual electric charge from the cooling fluid passing through the voltage isolator; and
an electrically conductive manifold, wherein the cooling fluid flows through the conduit from a first connector at a first end of the conduit to a second connector at a second end of the conduit, the second connector being connected to a second conduit to convey the cooling fluid back to the electrically conductive manifold, such that a single electrically conductive manifold provides inflow and outflow of the cooling fluid through the electrode.
