    Abstract: Apparatus for acoustic cooling of a heat load 12 such as automotive electronics comprises an acoustic driver 28 and an acoustic reflector 32 disposed within a hollow member 20. A heat transport member 18 is connected between the heat load 12 and the member 20 and is in intimate thermal contact with the hollow member. A standing acoustic wave is generated by an oscillator and the driver 28 and reflector 32. The acoustic wave induces circulation of fluid flow within the hollow member which transports heat from the member 18 to a remote location of the hollow member, which acts as a heat sink.
