Abstract

A cooling system for cooling a component of an imaging system located in a scan room. The system includes inlet, outlet and return channels. A portion of warm outlet air from a component outlet flows in the return channel to provide warm recirculated air to a mixing zone in the inlet channel. A fan located in the inlet channel draws scan room air into the inlet channel to mix with the warm recirculated air in the mixing zone to form mixed air that flows over the component to cool the component and wherein the mixed air absorbs heat that warms the mixed air to form the warm outlet air. A valve located in the return channel restricts or allows additional warm recirculated air to flow to the mixing zone to mix with the scan room air to maintain a desired control temperature for the cooling system.
