Abstract
Abstract Apparatus in accordance with the present disclosure comprises housing defining a wall supporting a reflector also having a wall. A region is defined between the walls and manifolds are located at each end of the region. Nozzle means is in fluid communication with at least one of the manifolds for directing a jet stream of coolant into the region between the walls and tangentially to the wall being cooled to thereby cool the wall. The jet stream is collected and dispelled through a second manifold at the opposite end of the region. Vent apparatus may be provided adjacent the nozzles so that as the jet streams are emitted from the nozzles, air or coolant is drawn into the region to further cool the walls.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
Apparatus for cooling a reflector wall, said wall having a generally concave cross section defining an axis and having an open forward end, said apparatus comprising: first manifold means positioned adjacent said wall at the intersection of said wall and said axis; first nozzle means supported by said first manifold means in fluid communication with said first manifold means for directing a first jet stream of fluid substantially tangential to said wall; second manifold means positioned adjacent said forward end of said wall; second nozzle means supported by said second manifold means and in fluid communication with said second manifold means for directing a second jet stream substantially tangential to said wall; first connector means mounted to said first manifold means for connecting said first manifold means to a source of coolant under pressure; second connector means mounted to said second manifold means for connecting said second manifold means to a source of coolant under pressure; third manifold means positioned between said first and second manifold means; and collector means for directing said first and second jet streams into said third manifold means.
