摘要:
A thermosiphon cooling assembly for dissipating heat generated by an electronic device includes a housing having a housing top, housing bottom and opposing sides. The opposing sides extend between the housing top and the housing bottom to define a low profile entrance and a low profile exit. A refrigerant is disposed within one or more boiling chambers. Heat generated by the electronic device is transferred to the refrigerant by the boiling chambers for liquid-to-vapor transformation. Condenser tubes having a bottom end and a top end extend from the boiling chambers at a diagonally upward angle across the sides between the housing bottom and housing top. The condenser tubes receive and condense vapor boiled off from the refrigerant. Air moving devices axially move air through the housing. Air is flowed across the condenser tubes to facilitate condensation.

A thermosiphon cooling assembly cools an electronic device with a first refrigerant disposed in the lower boiling chamber of a housing for liquid-to-vapor transformation and a second refrigerant disposed in an upper evaporating chamber of a housing for liquid-to-vapor transformation. The partition separating the lower boiling chamber of the housing from the upper evaporating chamber of the housing creates a series of vapor chambers within the lower boiling portion for condensing vapor boiled off the first refrigerant. The upper evaporating chamber contains a series of refrigerant pockets interleaved vertically with the vapor chambers to increase the surface area for heat transfer between the refrigerant vapor and the second refrigerant for absorbing heat by the second refrigerant for liquid-to-vapor transformation.

An automotive air conditioning system is disclosed comprising an evaporative cooler in series with the conventional vapor compression system. The evaporative cooler comprises an array of dry channels and a contiguous array of wet channels. The primary air stream to be conditioned by the evaporator of the conventional air conditioning system is preconditioned by the evaporative cooler by lowering its dry bulb temperature without changing its absolute humidity. An evaporator core is supported downstream of the evaporative cooler for receiving the primary air from the dry channels and thereby produces liquid condensate. The system is distinguished by conducting the liquid condensate from the evaporator core to the wicking tank for use in the wet channels of the evaporative cooler.

The invention provides a heat sink for flowing coolant into inlet manifold channels extending into a inlet edge of a manifold where the flow is forced downward into parallel and spaced micro-channels extending across the manifold channels and re-directing the coolant up into and out of outlet manifold channels extending into an outlet edge of the manifold and interleaved with the inlet manifold channels, and by maintaining a base-width of the micro-channels in the range of forty microns to one hundred microns, maintaining a base-height of the micro-channels in the range of two hundred microns to four hundred microns, maintaining a manifold-height through of the manifold channels in the range of one thousand microns to three thousand microns, and maintaining a manifold-width of the manifold channels in the range of three hundred and fifty microns to one thousand microns.

A fluid heat exchanger assembly having an upper wall and a lower wall extending between the inlet and the outlet for establishing a direction of flow to cool an electronic device. A plurality of projections extend linearly transversely across the direction of flow to define rows of projections with linear cavities between adjacent projections so that fluid flows into and out of the cavities as the fluid flows across the rows of projections for contraction and expansion of the coolant flow to maximize heat transfer. The projections may be rectangular, triangular or convex, as viewed in cross section.

A thermosiphon cooling assembly cools an electronic device with a conical condensing tube disposed about a curved central axis curving upwardly from a top of the evaporating unit to an upper distal end and a shroud disposed outward of an exterior surface of the condensing tube at the upper distal end extending axially along the central axis from the upper distal end to a lower edge spaced from the top defining an air opening. An air moving device moves air about the central axis within the shroud to the air opening. A plurality of condensing fins are disposed in the condensing tube and each condensing fin forms a pair of corners with an interior surface of the condensing tube and a wick material is disposed in each of the corners to return condensed vapor to the evaporating unit.

A thermosiphon cooling assembly includes a refrigerant disposed in a lower portion of a housing for undergoing a liquid-to-vapor-to-condensate cycle. A mixing device is disposed within the lower portion of the housing for increasing the transfer of heat from the electronic device during the liquid-to-vapor-to-condensate cycle. The mixing device may include a vapor stirrer disposed above the liquid of the refrigerant and/or a liquid stirrer disposed in the liquid of the refrigerant for moving the liquid of the refrigerant over a boiler plate.

An orientation insensitive heat exchanger assembly includes a housing having an upper portion including condensing tubes extending upwardly and intersecting a top wall of the lower portion. The condensing tubes are spaced equally from one another circumferentially and radially from the central axis and extend outwardly at a predetermined angle from the central axis. A fan assembly is disposed along a central axis extending upwardly from a center of the housing wherein the condensing tubes surround the fan assembly and the fan moves air radially out through the spaces between the condensing tubes.

A computer assembly including a casing having a bottom and end walls and side walls and a lid and a variety of computer components are supported on the bottom. A partition extends between the side walls and a plurality of fans is disposed in the partition for moving air through perforations in the end walls. A heat exchanger includes fins and each fan has a central hub and fan blades extending radially therefrom. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the fans move air into said fins and a flow straightener is disposed between the hub of each fan and the fins for straightening flow downstream of the hub prior to entering said fins. In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the fans move air through the fins and into a flow deflector over each hub of the fan for diverting flow from the fins and around the hubs prior to entering the fans.

The subject invention provides a heat sink for cooling electronic devices. The heat sink includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by a baffle therebetween. The lower chamber includes a base having a central axis and a plurality of curvilinear fins disposed radially about the central axis of the base. The upper chamber includes a lid defining an inlet and an inlet tube interconnecting the upper chamber and the lower chamber for directing a fluid through the upper chamber and impinging the fluid on the base in the lower chamber. A sidewall extends between the base and the lid and is disposed about the fins. The sidewall includes a peripheral inlet for directing the fluid perpendicular to the central axis and at the fins.
