  • HIGH FLUX HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM USING JET IMPINGEMENT OF WATER AT SUBATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
    Publication number: 20040250999
    Abstract: A cooling system for apparatus powered by electricity, that generates a substantial amount of heat during operation, and the heat must be dissipated to avoid failure of electrical and/or electronic components, such as semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, comprising the electrical apparatus. The cooling system employs water impinged on a heat sink thermally coupled with electrical apparatus, at subatmospheric pressure. The attendant phase change of the water to steam at a reduced temperature due to the subatmospheric pressure improves removal of waste heat to prevent failure of the electrical apparatus.
    Type: Application

  • High flux heat removal system using liquid ice
    Patent number: 6793007
    Abstract: A cooling system for apparatus powered by electricity, that generates a substantial amount of heat during operation, and the heat must be dissipated to avoid failure of electrical and/or electronic components, such as semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, comprising the electrical apparatus. The cooling system employs liquid ice impinged on a heat sink thermally coupled with electrical apparatus. The attendant phase changes of the liquid ice first to water and then to steam remove a substantial amount of waste heat to prevent failure of the electrical apparatus.
