MODULAR FLUID HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEMS
A modular heat exchange assembly includes a cold plate defining a finned surface and a corresponding plurality of microchannels. Selected ones of the plurality of microchannel extend from a first end to an opposed second end. A fluid receiver unit defines an inlet port and a first fluid connector fluidically coupled with the inlet port. A fluid transfer unit defines an outlet port and a second fluid connector matingly engageable with and disengageable from the first fluid connector to fluidly couple the fluid receiver unit and the fluid transfer unit together. The fluid transfer unit defines a distribution manifold configured to distribute coolant among the selected microchannels at a position between the first ends and the second ends of the selected microchannels. The fluid transfer unit further defines a collection manifold configured to receive coolant from the selected microchannels. The collection manifold and the outlet port are fluidically coupled together.

Heat exchanger
A heat exchanger includes a bag-like outer packaging material. A heat medium flows into an inside of the outer packaging material. An inner core material is arranged in the inside of the outer packaging material. The outer packaging material has an outer packaging laminate material including a metal heat transfer layer and a resin thermal fusion layer on a surface side of the heat transfer layer. The outer packaging laminate materials form a bag shape by integrally joining the thermal fusion layers along the peripheral edge portions. The inner core material includes the inner core laminate material with a metal heat transfer layer and resin thermal fusion layers on surface sides of the heat transfer layer. The thermal fusion layers of a concave portion bottom and a convex portion top of the inner core material and the thermal fusion layers of the outer packaging laminate material are integrally joined.

VARIABLE-PART LIQUID COOLING PUMPING UNIT
A variable-part liquid cooling pumping unit comprising a water block unit having a water block set, flow guiding plate, and water block cover, and a pump unit having a pump housing assembly is provided. The pump housing assembly comprises an impeller cavity inlet, flow adjusting disc, impeller cavity, and impeller cavity outlet opening. Inlet and outlet ports are positioned on a same side of and plane as the pump housing assembly. More than one water block unit and pump unit are provided and interchangeable. During operation, working fluid is sucked via the inlet port through the impeller cavity inlet, pass the flow adjusting disc, into the impeller cavity, to a plurality of curved blades of a rotor assembly unit impeller. From there, the working fluid travels through the impeller cavity outlet opening, flow guiding plate, and water block set, before exiting through the flow guiding plate, and outlet port.

HEAT TRANSFER MEMBER REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE
A heat transfer member reinforcement structure includes a main body. The main body has a first side, a second side and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is selectively disposed between the first and second sides or inlaid in a sink formed on the first side. The reinforcement member is connected with the main body to enhance the structural strength of the main body.
Heat exchangers with multi-layer structures
A heat exchanger includes a pair of opposed, spaced apart heat exchanger plates defining a heat exchanger volume therebetween having an inlet and opposed outlet. A plurality of heat exchanger ribs are included within the heat exchanger volume. Each rib defines a rib body spanning the heat exchanger volume. Each rib body includes a plurality of slits therethrough to define a flow path through the heat exchanger ribs from the inlet to the outlet of the heat exchanger volume. The ribs and slits can be formed using ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), for example.
