  • Patent number: 11956920
    Abstract: A liquid-cooled plate radiator is disclosed. The liquid-cooled plate radiator includes a radiator body. A coolant liquid runner for circulating a coolant liquid is formed inside the radiator body. The coolant liquid runner includes a plurality of radiating sub-runners. Then, a plurality of fin units are arranged on the radiating sub-runners along a flow direction of the coolant liquid. The fin unit has a plurality of fins extending side by side along the flow direction of the coolant liquid. Moreover, the fins of the front and rear adjacent fin units on the radiating sub-runners are staggered, thereby increasing the radiating area, enhancing the disturbance of the coolant liquid when flowing inside the radiating sub-runners, and improving the radiating efficiency. Thus, the technical problems of limited radiating area and low radiating efficiency caused by a single linear coolant liquid runner are solved.

  • Patent number: 11844193
    Abstract: A fluid delivery module that produces direct fluid-contact cooling of a computer processor, while mating with common processor accessory mounting specifications. Computer processors are commonly packaged and installed on printed circuit boards. The fluid module delivers cooling fluid directly to at least a surface of the processor package. The fluid module forms a fluid-tight seal against the surface of the processor package. By delivering fluid to the surface of the processor package, the module cools the computer processor. The module does not mechanically fasten to the processor. Instead, the module fastens to a variety of processor accessory mounting patterns commonly found on printed circuit boards. The printed circuit board typically carries the processor. This minimizes stress on the processor package, and allows greater modularity between different processors. In one embodiment, the fluid delivery is done with integral microjets, producing very high heat transfer cooling of the computer processor.
