  • Patent number: 8270170
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a system and an associated method to provide cooling to a plurality of electronic components mounted proximately to one another in an electronic enclosure is disclosed. The system comprises a cold plate that is mounted on the electronic enclosure to conduct heat thermally. The cold plate has a first surface to mount proximate to the plurality of electronic components and a second surface to mount distal from the plurality of electronic components. One or more heat risers are configured to be thermally coupled between the first surface of the cold plate and at least one of the plurality of electronic components.

  • Patent number: 8000103
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a system and method to provide cooling to electronic components, such as electronic modules or the like. The system includes one or more cold plates that are configured to be thermally coupled to one or more of the electronic components. Internally, each of the cold plates has a cooling fluid flowing inside of at least one passageway. The cooling fluid thus removes heat from the electronic components primarily by conductive heat transfer. An input and an output header are attached to opposite ends of the passageway to allow entry and exit of the cooling fluid. The input and output headers are attached to an external system to circulate the cooling fluid.
