Abstract

Improved method and apparatus for providing efficient cooling of a hot body using a pulse cooling system is disclosed. A flow of compressed gas is used to atomize each pulse of fluid before it enters the cooling channel of the hot body. The atomization of the fluid pulses allows each fluid pulse to be completely vaporized within the cooling channel, and, therefore, allows the hot body to be more efficiently cooled.
