Abstract: A modular cooling system can include thermal bridges for separate modules of a computer system that passively transfer heat away from heat sources of the modules. The thermal bridges can be thermally connected to a cold plate having a fluid path for liquid coolant. The cold plate can be positioned in, or linked to, a cooling dock having a pump and at least one cooling element such as a radiator or fan system. Heat from separate modules can be passively transferred via thermal bridges to cold plates, where liquid pumped through the cold plates can transfer the heat to the cooling elements of the cooling dock to be dissipated.

Abstract: A cooling system for computer systems includes one or more cooling hubs and one or more heat spreading devices. The heat spreading devices have nodes and paths defining inner pathways that enclose a two-phase working fluid. The nodes and paths network acts as links for the two-phase working fluid to absorb and transfer thermal energy from the heat-generating components of the electronic device to the cooling hub. The hub-link structure decouples the direct geometrical relationship between heating components and cooling sources to enable a higher degree of design freedom, space management, and cooling redundancy.
