Abstract: A cooling module includes a thermal conductive member. An endoergic chamber, a radiative chamber and a circulation pump chamber are defined along the thermal conductive member. The thermal conductive member contacts a heat generating object outside the endoergic chamber. The thermal energy is transferred to the coolant in the endoergic chamber. The coolant then flows into the radiative chamber. The thermal energy of the coolant is taken away in the radiative chamber. The thermal energy is radiated from the outer wall surface of the radiative chamber. This cooling cycle is repeated so that an efficient cooling operation can be realized in the cooling module. Arrangement of the endoergic, radiative and circulation pump chambers along the thermal conductive member leads to a minimized height of the cooling module.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention dissipate heat from an electronic device to provide an efficient and universally applied thermal solution for high heat generating electronic devices. The apparatus comprises an evaporator, a condenser, a heater and conduits. The evaporator, condenser, and conduits define a closed system that has an interior volume which is partially filled with a liquid coolant. The evaporator is thermally connected to an electronic device, such as a processor, and removes thermal energy from the processor by evaporating the liquid coolant. When the apparatus is oriented such that no liquid coolant is in contact with the evaporator, the heater applies thermal energy to the coolant until the coolant begins to boil. Boiling the liquid coolant causes bubbles to form within the liquid coolant. The volume of the bubbles generated by boiling raises the level of the liquid coolant within the closed system until the liquid coolant comes into contact with the evaporator.
