摘要:
Semiconductor devices are fixed on a substrate by solder and a semiconductor module having an enclosed structure is formed by the substrate, flanges and a housing. Two groups of heat conducting members, each having fins respectively in contract with the semiconductor devices and an inner wall of the housing are attached to the semiconductors. A fin thickness of each fin of the two groups of heat conducting members is comparatively thick, a fin height is low and the respective fins of the respective opposed heat conducting members have with very small clearances therebetween. A liquid as a heat conducting medium is enclosed in the semiconductor module. The liquid level of the semiconductor module is controlled such that it contacts a uppermost semiconductor device in the semiconductor module in a vertical arrangement. Further, valve mechanisms for introducing and removing a cooling fluid are provided at a top face and a bottom face of a space formed in the semiconductor module. The mass production capability of the heat conducting members is improved by providing such highly rigid fins, and improved cooling function is provided by firmly introducing the cooling medium to the respective fins while permitting the module to be reduced in size.

An apparatus for cooling semiconductor devices includes a module for cooling semiconductor devices; a refrigerant cooling device for receiving via an outlet pipe the refrigerant discharged through an outlet port of the module to cool the refrigerant; a refrigerant circulation pump for receiving, via a suction pipe, the refrigerant cooled by the refrigerant cooling device and sending the refrigerant to the module via an inlet pipe; and a refrigerant-flow stabilizing mechanism for stabilizing a refrigerant circulation flow discharged from the refrigerant circulation pump to be returned to the refrigerant circulation pump via the module and the refrigerant cooling device. Since the refrigerant-flow stabilizing mechanism stabilize the refrigerant flow, the refrigerant flow can be stably circulated so that the semiconductor devices in the module are stably cooled.

There is disclosed a liquid-cooled electronic device. Semiconductor devices are mounted on a substrate of a semiconductor module immersed in a cooling liquid. A wire-like member is provided in the vicinity of a cooling medium ejection port of each cooling medium supply member which cools a respective one of the semiconductor devices by a jet of the cooling liquid. With this arrangement, the flow of the cooling liquid downstream of the wire-like member is disturbed to promote the boiling over the entire surface of the semiconductor device, and when the semiconductor device is to be cooled, a transient temperature rise is reduced at the time of starting the energization of the semiconductor device, thereby stabilizing the temperature of the semiconductor device.
摘要:
An electronic apparatus having a plurality of semiconductor devices which produce heat during operation, with a heat sink having a plurality of tabular or pin-type fins is provided on each semiconductor device. Nozzles are associated with the heat sinks so as to supply a cooling fluid into the heat sinks. The heat sinks are so arranged that all these heat sinks guide and discharge the cooling fluid in the same direction. A breadth of the respective nozzles, as measured in the direction (x-direction) of the flow and discharge of the cooling fluid determined by the heat sink is less than that of the associated heat sink. A width of the nozzle, as measured in the direction (y-direction) perpendicular to the x-direction is smaller than that of the associated heat sink. A space between adjacent nozzles provide a discharge passage of an ample cross-section which reduces resistance encountered by the heated cooling medium to be discharged therethrough.

An electronic equipment has a cooling structure in which air discharged from heat sinks can be recovered without any leakage and compact blow ducts and discharge ducts are disposed in a narrow space. A supply opening and a discharge opening for cooling air are independently formed in a heat sink. A plurality of supply branched ducts and discharge branched ducts are combined in a comb-like shape along the axis of the ducts. Ejection openings for cooling air are formed on each of the supply branched ducts in positions corresponding to each of the heat sinks. Such ejection openings are closely connected to the supply openings for cooling air of the heat sinks. On the other hand, recovery openings for cooling air are formed on each of the refrigerant discharge ducts in a position corresponding to each of the heat sinks. Such recovery openings are closely connected to the discharge openings for gas refrigerant of the heat sinks.

A forced air cooling apparatus having a blower for blowing air taken in from an intake surface or inlet of the blower to be blown against an electronic device in an installation wherein the blower is mounted for operation on a casing or a rack, and in which the apparatus has a flow regulating plate vertically intersecting the intake surface that is installed immediately before the intake surface. With this construction, eddy air current flow in the vicinity of the intake surface is prevented and the cooling ability obtained from the blower is optimized to thereby attain the effect that the electronic devices can be efficiently cooled without requiring the same separation distance between an intake surface of the blower and a wall surface of the frame or casing in which the blower is installed, as compared with a conventional installation of the same equipment in the same casing without the flow regulating plate.
摘要:
A cooling system for cooling an electronic device by allowing a cooling fluid to flow in contact with heat generating components such as LSI chips of the electronic device arranged in series along the major flow of the cooling fluid. The cooling system has heat radiation fins attached to the heat-generating components, and a cooling duct defining a cooling fluid flow passage in which assemblies composed of the heat-generating components and the heat radiation fins are disposed. The flow passage has, at the upstream end of the upstream end assembly, a cross-sectional area greater than that of the assembly when taken in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the major flow of the cooling fluid. The cross-sectional area of the flow passage progressively decreases towards the downstream end, whereby the flow passage is divided into a main passage through which a main flow component of the cooling fluid directly flows into the series of assemblies and an auxiliary passage through which an auxiliary component of the cooling fluid flows substantially vertically towards the heat-generating component to impinge upon the heat generating component.
