Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a pluggable module comprises a pluggable module cage to house the pluggable module and a heat pipe coupled with a hot interface at one end and a cold interface at another end. The cooling apparatus further comprises an attachment mechanism for attaching the hot interface and the heat pipe to the pluggable module. The attachment mechanism permits mobility required to insert and secure the pluggable module in place inside the pluggable module cage to allow a good thermal coupling between the hot interface and the pluggable module.

Abstract: An enclosure with hybrid thermal management for a heat-generating electronic device comprises a passive heat sink for conducting heat away from the electronic device, a cold skin adapted to slide over the top of the passive heat sink and having a front wall forming a plurality of air intake ports, and a plurality of blowers mounted inside the cold skin for drawing air into the cold skin though the air intake ports and then directing the air through the passive heat sink. In one implementation, the passive heat exchanger includes multiple thermally conductive fins adjacent to the electronic device and extending rearwardly from the intake ports, the fins being spaced apart from each other for conducting heat away from the electronic device. The blowers preferably direct air rearwardly from the intake ports in the front wall into the spaces between the thermally conductive fins.
