Heat transfer apparatus for an image bearing member
An intermediate transfer member defines a transfer nip with a transfuse member. A cooling platen contacts the intermediate transfer member in the post-transfer nip region. The cooling platen absorbs heat from the intermediate transfer member to evaporate a liquid into a gas. The gas is directed to a heating platen contacting the pre-nip region of the intermediate transfer member. The heating platen condenses the gas to a liquid to heat the intermediate transfer member.
