Abstract:
1. A cooling system for an imaging system comprising: a mounting plate comprising a first side and an opposing second side, said mounting plate further defining at least one opening; at least one heat conductor extending through said at least one opening and through at least a portion of a dielectric fluid reservoir defined adjacent said second side of said mounting plate and enclosing an X-Ray source, said at least one heat conductor absorbing heat from said dielectric fluid while not permitting said dielectric fluid to flow therein; a thermally conductive sleeve coupled to said at least one heat conductor, said thermally conductive sleeve at least partially surrounding said X-Ray source, wherein said thermally conductive sleeve further defines at least one groove, wherein said at least one heat conductor is coupled to said thermally conductive sleeve at a surface of said groove; and a heat sink coupled to said first side of said mounting plate, said heat sink receiving at least a portion of said at least one heat conductor.
