    摘要: According to one embodiment of the invention, a cooling system for a heat-generating structure includes a heating device, a cooling loop, and a separation structure. The heating device heats a flow of fluid coolant including a mixture of water and antifreeze. The cooling loop includes a director structure which directs the flow of the fluid coolant substantially in the form of a liquid to the heating device. The heating device vaporizes a substantial portion of the water into vapor while leaving a substantial portion of the antifreeze as liquid. The separation structure receives, from the heating device, the flow of fluid coolant with the substantial portion of the water as vapor and the substantial portion of the antifreeze as liquid. The separation structure separates one of the substantial portion of the water as vapor or the substantial portion of the antifreeze as liquid from the cooling loop while allowing the other of the substantial portion of the water as vapor or the substantial portion of the antifreeze as liquid to remain in the cooling loop.

    摘要: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for cooling heat-generating structure disposed in an environment having an ambient pressure. The heat-generating structure includes electronics. The method includes providing a coolant, reducing a pressure of the coolant to a subambient pressure at which the coolant has a boiling temperature less than a temperature of the heat-generating structure, and bringing the heat-generating structure and the coolant at the subambient pressure into contact with one another, so that the coolant boils and vaporizes to thereby absorb heat from the heat-generating structure. In a more particular embodiment the coolant is either pure water or pure methanol with an electrical resistivity level of greater than one million Ohms-cm. Further, in another particular embodiment the method includes filtering the coolant to maintain its purity above a particular level.
