Forced Convection in Microstructures for Electronic Equipment Cooling

Thermal management and temperature uniformity enhancement of electronic devices by micro heat sinks: A review

A heat exchanger and method of manufacturing thereof comprises an interface layer for cooling a heat source. The interface layer is coupled to the heat source and is configured to pass fluid therethrough. The heat exchanger further comprises a manifold layer that is coupled to the interface layer. The manifold layer includes at least one first port that is coupled to a first set of individualized holes which channel fluid through the first set. The manifold layer includes at least one second port coupled to a second set of individualized holes which channel fluid through the second set. The first set of holes and second set of holes are arranged to provide a minimized fluid path distance between the first and second ports to adequately cool the heat source. Preferably, each hole in the first set is positioned a closest optimal distance to an adjacent hole the second set.

Method and apparatus for efficient vertical fluid delivery for cooling a heat producing device

A vapor escape membrane for use in a heat exchanging device, including a heat pipe or heat sink that runs liquid into a cooling region positioned adjacent to the heat producing device, the vapor escape membrane comprising: a porous surface for removing vapor produced from the liquid in the cooling region, the membrane configured to confine the liquid only within the cooling region. The vapor escape membrane transfers vapor to a vapor region within the heat exchanging device, wherein the membrane is configured to prevent liquid in the cooling region from entering the vapor region. The membrane is configured to include a hydrophobic surface between the membrane and the cooling region, wherein the liquid in the cooling region does not flow through the porous surface. The vapor escape membrane includes a plurality of apertures for allowing vapor to transfer therethrough, each of the apertures having a predetermined dimension.
