  • Publication number: 20230024762
    Abstract: A heat source package, comprising a housing having a metal base portion with one or more channels formed therein, the one or more channels having an inner surface, a coating of an anti-corrosive material adhered to a portion of the inner surface of the one or more channels wherein the anti-corrosive material is selected to have a thermal conductivity within a threshold range such that the coating changes the thermal resistance of a coated portion of the channel less than 25% with respect to an uncoated portion of the metal base portion. In examples, a heat source may be thermally coupled to the inner surface of the channels and the channels may be formed to conduct a liquid coolant from a liquid inlet to a liquid outlet to dissipate heat away from the heat source.
