Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a vapor chamber and means of attachment for the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber can include one or more columns, where at least a portion of the columns include fiber braids and one or more wicks. At least one of the wicks can also include the fiber braids. The columns can be braised to a top plate or a bottom plate of the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber can be secured over a heat source using a vapor chamber securing means that can include spring arms. The spring arms can bend, flex, rotate, etc. to absorb some of the force when vapor chamber is secured over the heat source.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer parts arranged in a first direction and spaced apart from each other, the plurality of heat transfer parts extending in a second direction and allowing refrigerant to flow through inside the plurality of heat transfer parts; a first header extending in the first direction and connected to one end of each of the plurality of heat transfer parts; a second header extending in the first direction and connected to an other end of each of the plurality of heat transfer parts; and a support extending along the first direction and the second direction and having an opening, the support being located at at least one face of the plurality of heat transfer parts in a third direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, the support being fixed to the first header and the second header.

A vapor chamber structure includes an upper plate, a lower plate, a middle layer and a polymer layer. The polymer layer is selectively connected with any of the upper and lower plates. The lower plate and the upper plate are mated with each other to together define a chamber. A working fluid is filled in the chamber. The middle layer is disposed in the chamber. The middle layer has a first face, a second face, multiple perforations and multiple channels. The multiple perforations pass through the first and second faces. The multiple channels are disposed on one of the first and second faces. By means of the above arrangement, the total thickness of the vapor chamber structure is equal to or smaller than 0.25 mm, whereby the vapor chamber can be extremely thinned.

Pedestal heater radiators, pedestal assemblies including the pedestal heater radiators and methods of decreasing deposition non-uniformity are described. The pedestal heater radiator has a first radiator body and a second radiator body with different emissivities. The first radiator body and second radiator body are sized and positioned to decrease the heat loss differential between sides of the pedestal.

A vapor chamber reinforcement structure includes an upper cover and a lower plate. The upper cover is recessed to form at least one channel An opposite side of the channel is protruded to form at least one raised body. The lower plate is used to contact with a heat source and has a first capillary structure. The lower plate is correspondingly mated with the upper cover to form an airtight chamber for filling a working fluid. By means of the channel and the raised body disposed on the opposite side of the channel, the channel provides larger heat contact area for the heat conduction component (heat pipe) and more secure connection ability. Also, the raised body on the opposite side of the channel enhances the structural strength of the entire vapor chamber and enlarges the condensation contact area of the vapor chamber.

A plate heat exchanger can reduce thermal contact between a second fluid (water and a third fluid (low-temperature, low-pressure two-phase refrigerant) to enhance thermal efficiency. A plate heat exchanger (1b) includes a heat transfer plate group (102a) that performs heat exchange between a first fluid of high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant and a second fluid of a heating target fluid; and a heat transfer plate group (102b) that performs heat exchange between a first fluid of low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant and a third fluid of low-temperature, low-pressure two-phase liquid refrigerant. The heat transfer plate group (102a) forms refrigerant channels including a stack of plates, has a configuration that a flow of the first fluid of high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant and a flow of the second fluid are alternately aligned in the refrigerant channels, and causes the second fluid to flow in the outermost refrigerant channel.

A heat exchanger devices for operations in heavy liquid metal coolant mediums that ensures reliable fixation and spacing of heat exchanger tubes. A first option includes one supporting spacer grid 1 consisting of a cylindrical shell 2 and two or more tiers of plates 3 and 4 spaced apart at the preset gap, while the width of each plate lies within the plane which is parallel to the shell axis; ends of all plates are fixed to the shell such that plates of any tier are parallel to each other and located at the preset gap; plates of different tiers are criss-crossed at an angle of 60 degrees along the shell axles and fastened together at the crossing points. A second option includes three dividers which run through the cylinder axis; their ends are connected to the shell and are spaced at an angle of 60 degrees.

In one embodiment, a phase change material is encapsulated by forming a phase change material pellet, coating the pellet with flexible material, heating the coated pellet to melt the phase change material, wherein the phase change materials expands and air within the pellet diffuses out through the flexible material, and cooling the coated pellet to solidify the phase change material.

A bolster is provided and includes a bottom plate including a side plate extending upwards from a side of the bottom plate and a holding portion bending inwards from an edge of the side plate, a pillar vertically provided on the bottom plate and adjacent to the holding portion, and a torsion bar including two end portions and a main body portion, where one of the two end portions is fixed in the pillar and restricted by the holding portion, and the main body portion is restricted by the side plate. The bolster can effectively reduce warpage and deformation of the bottom plate.
