  • Publication number: 20190239388
    Abstract: A liquid cooling heat exchange apparatus has a water block set and a liquid pump module. The water block set has a heat transfer surface configured to exchange heat with a cooling liquid. The liquid pump module is securely mounted on the water block set and has a flow-directing containment area and pumps. The flow-directing containment area forms flow-directing containment recesses and the pumps correspond to the flow-directing containment recesses. Therefore, pumps are connected in series or parallel so that the pumps can juxtapose with each other, which lessens the entire thickness and allows the liquid cooling heat exchange apparatus to be utilized in a narrow space. Besides, with the connected pumps, an amount and a speed of the flow may be increased and dissipate more heat. Even if part of the pumps malfunctions, the remaining pump(s) can maintain a basic amount and speed of the flow.

  • Patent number: 10171778
    Abstract: A liquid cooling apparatus has a chassis, a cover mounted on the chassis, and a dividing structure disposed in an inner chamber defined between the chassis and the cover. The dividing structure divides the inner chamber into a liquid inlet compartment and a liquid outlet compartment. The liquid inlet compartment communicates with the liquid outlet compartment via the recess. The liquid cooling apparatus can be installed on a first panel with the boss of the chassis mounted through a through hole of the first panel and thermally attached to a heat source on a second panel. A working fluid that flows into the liquid inlet compartment is forced to flow into the recess before flowing to the liquid outlet compartment by the dividing structure. Accordingly, heat generated by the heat source can be effectively dissipated.
