Abstract

The disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for cooling a RCD at a wellbore including a bearing assembly configured for operating in the RCD. A fixed latch with a heat exchanger system and a volume of a cooling medium is configured for reducing heat proximate the bearing assembly, an inner member, and one or more seals between the bearing assembly and the inner member.
