Abstract: A cooling apparatus for removing heat having a low profile unitary member. The low profile unitary member has an evaporator portion and a condenser portion. The evaporator portion is thermally exposed to a heat generating component. The condenser portion is disposed at an elevated angle with respect to the evaporator portion. A plurality of microtubes are disposed within the first low profile extrusion. The plurality of microtubes have a heat transfer fluid contained therein. A second plurality of low profile extrusion members are mounted as fins on the evaporator section of the low profile unitary member. Heat is transferred from the heat generating component to the heat transfer fluid contained with the microtubes located within the evaporator portion. The heat transfer fluid to which the heat was transferred migrates to the condenser portion of the low profile unitary member by way of the microtubes. The heat transfer fluid is cooled in the condenser portion of the low profile unitary member.
