  • Cooling of heat intensive systems
    Patent number: 8820114
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cooling system that utilizes a supersonic cooling cycle. The cooling system includes accelerating a compressible working fluid, and may not require the use of a conventional mechanical pump. The cooling system accelerates the fluid to a velocity equal to or greater than the speed of sound in the compressible fluid selected to be used in the system. A phase change of the fluid due at least in part to a pressure differential cools a working fluid that may be utilized to transfer heat from a heat intensive system.

  • Supersonic Cooling With Pulsed Inlet and Bypass Loop
    Publication number: 20120301268
    Abstract: A supersonic cooling system operates by pumping liquid without the need of a condenser. An inlet of the system may be pulsed to reduce energy required of a pump and to increase the cooling power of the system. The supersonic cooling system utilizes a compression wave in the generation of the cooling effect. The formation of the compression wave may be assisted by a resonance chamber. An evaporator of the cooling system operates in the critical flow regime.

  • Supersonic Cooling Nozzle Inlet
    Publication number: 20120297800
    Abstract: A supersonic cooling system operates by pumping fluid. A geometric element may be situated in a fluid flow path to modify the fluid flow. Because the supersonic cooling system pumps fluid, the cooling system does not require the use of a condenser. The cooling system utilizes a compression wave to facilitate a phase change utilized in a cooling effect. An evaporator operates in the critical flow regime in which the pressure in one or more evaporator nozzles will remain almost constant and then ‘shock up’ to the ambient pressure.

  • COOLING SYSTEM UTILIZING A RECIPROCATING PISTON
    Publication number: 20120260673
    Abstract: Cooling in the supersonic region of a compressible fluid is disclosed. The fluid is accelerated by a reciprocating piston to a velocity equal to or greater than the speed of sound in the fluid in an evaporator. No conventional mechanical pump is required to accelerate the fluid. A phase change of the fluid due to a pressure differential may be utilized to transfer heat from an element to be cooled.

  • Supersonic Cooling with a Pulsed Inlet
    Publication number: 20120204593
    Abstract: A supersonic cooling system operates by pumping liquid without the need of a condenser. The compression system utilizes a compression wave in the generation of the cooling effect. An inlet of the system may be pulsed to reduce energy required of a pump. The evaporator of compression system operates in the critical flow regime where the pressure one or more evaporator tubes will remain almost constant and then ‘jump’ or ‘shock up’ to the ambient pressure.

  • Pump-Less Cooling Using a Rotating Disk
    Publication number: 20120205080
    Abstract: Cooling in the supersonic region of a compressible fluid is disclosed. The fluid is accelerated by a rotating disk to a velocity equal to or greater than the speed of sound in the fluid in a rotating evaporator tube. No conventional mechanical pump is required to accelerate the fluid. A phase change of the fluid due to a pressure differential may be utilized to transfer heat from an element to be cooled.
