Abstract
A two-phase cooling system for an X-ray high-voltage generator comprises a heat sink block and a heat sink. The heat sink block spatially surrounds a cooling duct loop, wherein the cooling duct loop is at least partially filled with a working medium and is configured to act as an oscillating heat pipe. The heat sink is configured to dissipate heat from a heat source. The heat sink block includes a material including a polymer.
