  • Publication number: 20160209894
    Abstract: A heat dissipating assembly suited for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has at least one heat source. The heat dissipating assembly includes a first tube, a second tube, and a fluid. The first tube has an inlet and an outlet, wherein a bore size of the inlet is smaller than a bore size of the outlet. Heat generated from the heat source is transferred to the first tube. Two opposite ends of the second tube are connected to the inlet and the outlet such that the first and the second tubes are formed into a closed loop. The fluid is filled in the closed loop. The fluid in the first tube transferred from the inlet toward the outlet absorbs the heat and is transferred to the second tube for heat dissipating. An electronic device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9305860
    Abstract: A cycling heat dissipation module is used for removing the heat generated by a heat-generating element of a circuit board and includes at least one main body and at least one conducting pipe. The main body has a chamber and a heat guiding part. The chamber is filled with a fluid and has a wall to divide the chamber into a first compartment and a second compartment adjacent to each other. The heat guiding part is used for conducting the heat generated from the heat generating element. The conducting pipe has a first end, a second end and a heat exchanging section. The fluid is pushed into the heat-exchanging section by the pressure difference after absorbing the heat of the heat guiding part, and then moved to the second compartment.

  • Publication number: 20140138052
    Abstract: A fluid heat exchange apparatus including a casing, and a heat-dissipating device is provided. The casing includes a chamber, an inlet, and an outlet. The chamber includes a first channel including a first entrance and a first exit and a second channel including a second entrance and a second exit. The cross-sectional area of the first channel decreases from the first entrance to the first exit and the cross-sectional area of the second channel decreases from the second entrance to the second exit. The heat-dissipating device is located between the first exit and the outlet. A first fluid flows from the inlet and flows through the first channel and the heat-dissipating device and then flows to the outlet. Part of the first fluid flowing through the heat-dissipating device absorbs heat and forms bubbles moving to the second channel and then forms a second fluid converging into the first channel.
