Abstract:
According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems that may be used for cooling objects, such as X-ray tubes and detectors, etc. Also disclosed are exemplary embodiments of methods for cooling objects, such as X-ray tubes and detectors, etc. For example, an exemplary embodiment includes a system that can be used to cool an X-ray tube and detector with one chiller. As another example, an exemplary embodiment of a method includes using one chiller to cool an X-ray tube and detector.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n an active or passive chiller for cooling a coolant; a thermoelectric assembly situated on an object; one or more conduits for circulating a coolant from the active or passive chiller to the thermoelectric assembly, whereby the coolant may pass through the thermoelectric assembly such that the thermoelectric assembly is usable for actively cooling and/or for controlling temperature of the object; one or more conduits for returning the coolant from the thermoelectric assembly back to the active or passive chiller; wherein the system is configured to divert a portion of the coolant from the active or passive chiller to the thermoelectric assembly and to circulate at least a portion of the remaining undiverted coolant from the active or passive chiller to another object for cooling of the another object; and wherein the active or passive chiller comprises a passive chiller and/or the one or more conduits comprise uninsulated hoses to circulate the coolant from the passive chiller to the another object and the thermoelectric assembly and back to the passive chiller.
