Abstract:
Cooling methods are provided for immersion-cooling one or more electronic components. The cooling method includes: providing a housing at least partially surrounding and forming a fluid-tight compartment about the electronic component(s) and a dielectric fluid disposed within the fluid-tight compartment, with the electronic component(s) immersed within the dielectric fluid; and providing a vapor-condenser, heat sink, and thermal conductive path. The vapor-condenser includes a plurality of thermally conductive condenser fins extending within the fluid-tight compartment, and the heat sink includes a first region and a second region, with the first region of the heat sink being in thermal contact with the vapor-condenser. The thermal conduction path couples the fluid-tight compartment and the second region of the heat sink in thermal contact, and includes a thermoelectric array, which facilitates transfer of heat from the fluid-tight compartment to the second region of the heat sink through the thermal conduction path.
