Publication number: 20110110041Abstract: A heat dissipation structure of an electronic apparatus includes a bendable vapor chamber with a large area. A small section of the vapor chamber is arranged to contact with the heat source of the electronic apparatus and a large remaining section of the vapor chamber contacts with an internal wall of the chassis of the electronic apparatus through appropriate bending. The working fluid in the vapor chamber absorbs the heat generated by the heat source and vaporizes. The heat-carrying vapor spreads within the vapor chamber to condense on a large condensation zone. The released heat is then dissipated to the atmosphere via the large area of the chassis and the heat dissipating fin structure thereon. Therefore, the heat dissipation structure provides efficient passive heat dissipation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2010Publication date: May 12, 2011Inventor: Shwin-Chung WONG

Publication number: 20110044043Abstract: An LED lamp includes at least a flat-plate heat pipe arranged within a flat sealing container, wherein the upper and the lower surfaces of the flat-plate heat pipe respectively contact with the internal walls of the top plate and the base plate of the sealing container. At least one LED module is configured on the base plate. The heat generated by the LED module transfers through the base plate to the flat-plate heat pipe, and vaporizes the working fluid therein, so that the heat is spread with the vapor motion, and is then released to the atmosphere through the large area including the external wall of the sealing container and the fin structure thereon. The sealing container provides structural strength of the lamp and protects the flat-plate heat pipe from corrosion by water and contaminants in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: February 24, 2011Inventor: Shwin-Chung WONG

Patent number: 7637633Abstract: Heat dissipation devices for an LED lamp set has a plate-type heat spreader as the core unit. The plate-type heat spreader is either a flat-plate heat pipe or a metal plate embedded with heat pipes. The high-power LED lamps are thermally connected to the bottom surface of the heat spreader so that the heat generated by the LED lamps is absorbed by the evaporation region of the flat-plate heat pipe or the embedding heat pipes. The heat is spread by internal vapor motion of the working fluid toward different regions of the heat spreader. The top surface of the heat spreader is connected with a finned heat sink, where the heat is delivered to the ambient air. The hot air leaves by buoyancy through the openings on a lamp housing located above the finned heat sink. The inner surface of the lamp housing can be connected with the top surface of the plate-type heat spreader, with the heat dissipated out at the surface of the housing by natural convection.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventor: Shwin-Chung Wong

Patent number: 7392836Abstract: Heat from a heat generating device such as a CPU is dissipated by a heat spreader containing a cycled two-phase vaporizable coolant. The coolant cycles inside a closed metal chamber, which has an upper section and a lower section. The lower section contains a wick layer, a part or parts of which serves as an evaporator. The upper section is composed of a set of channels. The channel walls contain a plurality of cut-off openings over the evaporator region to allow for vapor distribution efficiently. The liquid coolant in the evaporator is vaporized by the heat from the heat generating device. The coolant vapor can prevail in the channels by either directly entering the adjacent channels or indirectly through lateral conduits formed with the wall openings. The vapor condenses on the channel, walls to liberate latent heat which is then dissipated out through the top chamber wall.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventor: Shwin-Chung Wong

Patent number: 7234513Abstract: Heat from a heat generating device such as a CPU is dissipated by a heat sink device containing a recycled two-phase vaporizable coolant. The coolant recycles inside a closed metal chamber, which has an upper section and a lower section connected by a conveying conduit, and a wick evaporator placed in the lower section. The liquid coolant in the evaporator is vaporized by the heat from the heat generating device. The coolant vapor enters the upper section and condenses therein, with the liberated latent heat dissipated out through the inner top chamber wall. The condensed coolant is then collected and flows into the lower section, and further flows back to the wick evaporator by capillary action of the evaporator, thereby recycling the coolant. Space or a piece of element with parallel grooves is used to form at least one of the sections to reduce friction in the liquid flow path.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2004Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventor: Shwin-Chung Wong

Publication number: 20070089376Abstract: This invention discloses a cold-work method to connect the metal wall of a two-phase heat dissipation device with a fill tube. First, place the fill tube into a hole prepared in the wall, then push a squeezer slightly larger than the inner diameter of the fill tube to create permanent deformation and hence hermetical bonding thereof. Finally, draw out the squeezer to finish the cold work. This method simplifies the procedure and equipment by avoiding a relatively high-temperature soldering or brazing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2006Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: NATIONAL TSING HUA UNIVERSITYInventor: Shwin-Chung Wong
