HYBRID MICROJET LIQUID-COOLED HEAT SPREADER
A liquid-cooled heat sink has three parts: the water block, the X-clamp, and a copper plate. The water block has an inlet connected to a resin shell. Inside the shell, a fractal inlet manifold divides the inlet coolant flow into several sub streams that eventually exit in the form of uniformly distributed liquid jets through small nozzles/microjets at the bottom of the shell. The union between the shell and the copper plate forms a flood chamber, where the jets impinge on the copper plate, dissipating the heat supplied to the copper plate in contact with the heat source. The warm liquid is removed from the flood chamber through an outlet manifold embedded with the resin shell.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CURVED HEAT EXCHANGER USING WEDGE SHAPED SEGMENTS
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger includes stacking a plurality of parting sheets, a plurality of lengthwise closure bars, and a plurality of widthwise closure bars to form a rectangular first heat exchanger section. The first heat exchanger section includes at least one widthwise passage extending between a pair of the widthwise closure bars and at least one lengthwise passage extending between a pair of the lengthwise closure bars. The method also includes brazing the rectangular first heat exchanger section together and cutting a first side and a second side of the rectangular first heat exchanger section to give the first heat exchanger section a tapered-trapezoid profile. The method further includes brazing an end of a second heat exchanger section to the first or second side of the first heat exchanger section.

Thermal management of RF devices using embedded microjet arrays
The present invention generally relates to a microjet array for use as a thermal management system for a heat generating device, such as an RF device. The microjet array is formed in a jet plate, which is attached directly to the substrate containing the heat generating device. Additional enhancing features are used to further improve the heat transfer coefficient above that inherently achieved by the array. Some of these enhancements may also have other functions, such as adding mechanical structure, electrical connectivity or pathways for waveguides. This technology enables higher duty cycles, higher power levels, increased component lifetime, and/or improved SWaP for RF devices operating in airborne, naval (surface and undersea), ground, and space environments. This technology serves as a replacement for existing RF device thermal management solutions, such as high-SWaP finned heat sinks and cold plates.

Computer cooling system and method of use
A reliable, leak-tolerant liquid cooling system with a backup air-cooling system for computers is provided. The system may use a vacuum pump and a liquid pump and/or an air compressor in combination to provide negative fluid pressure so that liquid does not leak out of the system near electrical components. Alternatively, the system can use a single vacuum pump and a valve assembly to circulate coolant. The system distributes flow and pressure with a series of pressure regulating valves so that an array of computers can be serviced by a single cooling system. A connector system is provided to automatically evacuate the liquid from the heat exchangers before they are disconnected. Leak detection and mitigation structures are also disclosed. Various turbulators are also provided, as well as a system and method for optimizing the heat transfer characteristics of a heat exchanger to minimize total energy requirements.
