Systems and methods for cooling ultrasound transducers and ultrasound transducer arrays

Ultrasound devices and systems are disclosed in which cooling of an active acoustic element of an ultrasound transducer is achieved via an electrically conductive member that extends beyond a proximal side of the active acoustic element to contact a heat exchanger. The electrically conductive member delivers electrical driving signals to the active acoustic element while conducting heat to the heat exchanger. A region of the proximal surface of the active acoustic element that is free from contact with the electrically conductive member may also absent from contact with a liquid or a solid, thereby facilitating reflection of ultrasound energy. The heat exchanger may include an electrically insulating fluid that contacts the electrically conductive member to remove the heat conducted through the electrically conductive member. The active acoustic element may be a multilayer lateral mode element, and the electrically conductive member may form an electrode of the lateral mode element.

Heat exchanger with contact sealing and related systems and methods

A heat exchanger conveys heat from a heat-generating component to a coolant. The heat exchanger includes a heat spreader plate defining an upper surface. A plurality of fins extend transversely from the upper surface to respective distal fin edges. The plurality of fins define a corresponding plurality of microchannels. A housing defines an underside surface positioned overtop the distal fin edges. The underside surface urges against the distal fin edges sufficiently to substantially inhibit a coolant from leaking from one microchannel to an adjacent microchannel. The fins can be sufficiently compressed between the heat spreader plate and the underside of the housing as to deflect the fins from an unloaded, at-rest orientation. The distal edges of the fins can be flared laterally outward. Such flared distal fin edges can be fused with the underside of the housing and the microchannels can be substantially free of any fusing material.
