Abstract

A transducer for mechanical measured variables, especially a pressure transducer, having a heat pipe system within the housing, the heat pipe system is connected on one side to the thermally high stressed parts of the transducer, and on the other side to parts not exposed to heat or cold. The sensor element of the transducer is cooled through heat transport by means of an alternatively vaporizing and condensating working fluid within the heat pipe system.
