Abstract
A method for transferring heat away from an ultrasonic medical transducer having a face wherein heat is generated. The method is accomplished by positioning a heat sink behind the transducer face, securing the heat sink to a braided power cable, applying a heat conductive epoxy to the heat sink, and assembling a plastic housing around the heat sink. The transducer face is cooled by conductive heat transfer by transferring the heat into the heat sink, then transferring the heat into the epoxy, then transferring the heat into the power cable and the plastic housing before finally dissipating into the surrounding air.
