A stacked-plate heat exchanger for cooling a plurality of heat-generating electronic components arranged in a plurality of layers comprises a stack of flat tubes defining a plurality of parallel fluid flow passages, the tubes being separated by spaces for receiving the electronic components. One or more flow-restricting ribs is arranged within at least some of the fluid flow passages to partially block fluid flow between at least one the manifolds and the heat transfer area by reducing the height of the fluid flow passage outside the heat transfer area, along at least a portion of the width of the fluid flow passage, in order to improve the flow distribution of a heat transfer fluid between and within the fluid flow passages of the heat exchanger, and to minimize bypass flow at the outer edges of the fluid flow passage.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a torsional heat pipe. The torsional heat pipe can include a first housing static portion located in a first housing of an electronic device, where the first housing static portion is coupled to a heat source, a second housing static portion located in a second housing of the electronic device, where the second housing static portion is coupled to a heat spreader, and a torsion portion located in a hinge of the electronic device, where the hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing and the torsion portion rotates as the second housing rotates relative to the first housing and the torsion portion couples the first housing static portion to the second housing static portion.

A manufacturing method for a vapor chamber without an injection tube and an apparatus thereof, includes the steps of preparing two plates for covering onto each other to form a vapor chamber housing, injecting a working fluid between the two plates, and further preparing a sealed space having a refrigeration device installed therein, and then placing the two plates having the working fluid injected therein onto the refrigeration device, thereby maintaining a temperature of the working fluid below a boiling point under a vacuum state; next, performing evacuation on the sealing space, and then sealing perimeters of the two plates. Consequently, a vapor chamber without any injection tube can be obtained through such manufacturing method.
