Abstract
A system and method for cooling an external surface of a heat conductive body heated by a heat source is provided. The system includes a tank containing an evaporation liquid, a conduit supplying the evaporation liquid to the external surface of the body, a controllable supply valve for regulating a flow rate of egress of the evaporation liquid from the tank, and a control unit for controlling operation of the supply valve. The control unit includes a temperature sensor producing a temperature sensor signal representative of the temperature of the body at the predetermined place; and a controller capable of generating control signals for controlling operation of the controllable supply valve to provide a pulsed supply of the evaporation liquid to the external surface of the body for obtaining a desired temperature decrease of the body.
