Air Flow Distribution

The Voluson i / Voluson e cooling system includes five fans which are controlled by the PMC on the
ETX baseboard. The fans suck air out of the system through the side vents, removing the warm air from
around the internal components of the Voluson i / Voluson e - see
The structure of Voluson i / Voluson e internal components has been designed to provide the best
thermal conduction, allowing the maximum amount of heat to be removed from the system. It is crucial
that the system ventilation access is not blocked; a distance of at least 20 cm from right and left of the
system should be kept clear. In addition, operating the system in an unclean environment could
introduce foreign objects into the unit and create blockage of the airflow, which may eventually cause
irreparable damage to the system. There are therefore some minimal environmental conditions that
should be provided for optimum operation of the system - for details and recommendations, refer to
Table 2-2 on page
Periodically, it may be necessary to clean the internal components of the system. This task should be
performed by qualified personnel - refer to
details.
