Abstract
A transducer is bonded to a metal carrier that is mounted on an elastomeric frame-like diaphragm. The outer periphery of the diaphragm is mounted on a frame bonded to the bottom of a quartz tank. A vacuum applied to a chamber surrounding the lower portion of the carrier draws the carrier against the tank bottom with a compliant interface between the tank and the carrier. A cover clamps the diaphragm to the support and creates a coolant chamber with the diaphragm and the carrier for cooling the transducer. In other arrangements, resilient material or springs are employed to produce a force to compress the interface against the tank. Also the weight of the tank can produce compressive force on the interface.
