Abstract
A heat exchange system for a surgical instrument includes a valve, a load, and a load conduit extending between the valve and the load. The load conduit delivers fluid from the valve to the load. The heat exchange system also includes an exhaust conduit that directs the fluid away from the valve. A portion of the load conduit is positioned so as to thermally transfer heat to a portion of the exhaust conduit.
