Heat spreader system for cooling heat-generating components

An atomizer (50) for atomizing a liquid coolant (40), is positioned inside a sealed housing (20). The atomized liquid coolant (40) is distributed as a thin film over the surface of the heat generating components (30) and the wall of the sealed housing (20). Heat is transferred from the surface of th...

Zusammenfassung:An atomizer (50) for atomizing a liquid coolant (40), is positioned inside a sealed housing (20). The atomized liquid coolant (40) is distributed as a thin film over the surface of the heat generating components (30) and the wall of the sealed housing (20). Heat is transferred from the surface of the heat generating components (30) by vaporization of at least a portion of the thin film liquid coolant (40). The coolant vapor condenses on the housing (20) and other cool surfaces and returns to the liquid state. The system heat is then removed from the outer surfaces of the housing (20) using conventional heat transfer mechanisms (22).
