INTELIGGENT MANIFOLD ASSEMBLIES FOR A LIGHT SOURCE, LIGHT SOURCES INCLUDING INTELLIGENT MANIFOLD ASSEMBLIES, AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A manifold assembly for distribution of a cooling fluid configured for use with a light source is provided. The manifold assembly includes a fluid manifold for providing a cooling fluid to a lamp head assembly of the light source, at least one sensor for sensing at least one characteristic of the cooling fluid in the fluid manifold, and a microprocessor for receiving information related to the at least one characteristic from the at least one sensor.
