ABSTRACT:
A cooling system for an X-ray system with a bearing assembly having a bearing stator and a bearing rotor, includes a cooling stem disposed within the bearing assembly for dissipation of heat from the X-ray system. The cooling stem has dimensions adapted to be disposed within an axial bore of the bearing assembly. The cooling stem consists of a hollow, tubular housing having a target end, a distal end, and a number of radial fins integral with the outer surface of the tubular housing. The radial fins extend longitudinally from the target end in the direction of the distal end to a transition point. The radial fins, in combination with the outer surface of the tubular housing and the inner surface of the axial bore, form a number of axial channels for channeling a cooling medium from the target end to the distal end in a turbulent flow.
