Abstract
A module for housing electronic and electromechanical equipment and for managing waste heat during surgery. The module including a lower section including a bulbous portion and a tower-like upper section located on top of the lower section. The bulbous portion can be configured to be positioned under an arm overhang of a surgical table. A water-resistant cowling can enclose at least a portion of the lower section and the tower-like upper section. An air inlet vent can be provided in the cowling of the lower section to allow air to enter and cool the electronic and electromechanical equipment housed in the lower section. The tower-like upper section can serve as a chimney allowing a convection current of waste heat to rise within the tower-like upper section and be discharged from outlet vents located near the top of the tower-like upper section.
