  • Patent number: 5983997
    Abstract: A system for cooling electronic components includes a cold plate having a channel through which a fluid coolant is transported, a plurality of bosses each receiving an electronic, optical, or other heat-generating component, and a plurality of fin structures, at least three of which are adjacently disposed in a sequential order on the cold plate. Each fin structure contacts a boss, and has a fin inlet and a fin outlet in fluid communication with a section of the channel for supplying the area around the boss with coolant and cooling the component seated on the boss. A portion of the channel defines a serpentine path for transporting the fluid coolant to the at least three sequential fin structures in a non-sequential order. Sections of the channel in the serpentine path further transport the coolant in opposite directions, thus enhancing heat transfer and temperature equilibration across the cold plate.
