  • Monolithic multi-module electronics chassis with multi-planar embedded fluid cooling channels
    Patent number: 9468131
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a heat source includes a monolithic structure having a plurality of embedded cooling channels arranged in a multi-planar arrangement, the embedded cooling channels configured to carry a cooling fluid to a plurality of locations throughout the monolithic structure, the cooling fluid configured to absorb heat transferred from a heat source associated with the monolithic structure. The monolithic structure is formed integrally with the embedded cooling channels using an additive manufacturing process.
    Type: Grant
