  • COOLING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20230180437
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for an electronic or computing device includes a base for thermal coupling to a surface of the electronic or computing device and a cover spaced from the base. A nozzle plate is disposed between the base and the cover to partially define an inlet volume and an outlet volume. Cooling fluid enters the inlet volume and passes through the nozzle plate to the outlet volume and out of the apparatus. The nozzle plate includes a plurality of flow paths through which the cooling fluid passes from the inlet volume to the outlet volume. The flow paths cause the fluid to exit the nozzle plate as transversely expanding fluid jets.
