  • Patent number: 10399190
    Abstract: An assembly for cooling a heat dissipating device reducing the thermal contact/interface resistance between a heatsink and a heat dissipating device includes: a heat dissipating device having a heat releasing surface; a heatsink having a heat absorbing surface; a gasket extending between the heat releasing surface and the heat absorbing surface to provide a sealed interstitial cavity; and a working fluid provided within the cavity. The working fluid has specific thermal properties that cause the fluid to (i) absorb latent heat and evaporate from a liquid to a vapor at the liquid surface in contact with the heat releasing surface during operation of the heat dissipating device and (ii) condense from the vapor back to the liquid when the vapor contacts the heat absorbing surface of the heatsink, thus releasing the latent heat from the vapor to the heatsink.

  • Patent number: 9839161
    Abstract: A thermal ducting rail receives a rack device in a rack chassis. The thermal ducting rail includes air flow guiding elements that enable cooling air from a front face of the rack chassis to be directed to an external side of the thermal ducting rail and from the external side to a rear face of the rack chassis. The thermal ducting rail enables rack devices equipped with side-to-side cooling to receive cooling air in a rack chassis with front-to-back cooling, without extending beyond a unit height occupied by the rack device.
