Zusammenfassung:	A micro heat exchanger and an integrated circuit are oriented according to a counter flow orientation. To determine this orientation, a temperature gradient of the integrated circuit is determined. The temperature gradient is used to determine a temperature vector that preferably indicates a directional orientation from a hot portion of the integrated circuit to a cold portion. The micro heat exchanger circulates a cooling fluid to receive heat transferred from the integrated circuit. A directional flow of this cooling liquid is determined. The directional flow is measured as a directional vector from an inlet of the micro heat exchanger to an outlet. The counter flow orientation is defined as the temperature vector oriented opposite that of the directional flow.
