Claim 0:
1. A microelectronics cooling system, comprising:
a) a microchannel heat absorber including an outer heat transfer surface located proximate an outer heat transfer surface of a microelectronic device within an electronic device enclosure and comprising at least one layer defining a plurality of microchannels having a cross-sectional dimension of less than 1000 microns and terminating at a first end in a cool side manifold and at a second end in a warm side manifold, the microchannels adapted to contain a liquid working fluid that absorbs heat from the microelectronic device and forms a vapor upon flowing therethrough from the first end to the second end,
b) a heat sink located outside of the enclosure for receiving and condensing the vapor to reform the liquid working fluid and for discharging the liquid working fluid, and
c) at least one or more pipes flowably connecting the warm side manifold of the heat absorber to the heat sink and flowably connecting the cool side manifold of the heat absorber to the heat sink, wherein the one or more pipes are connected so as to permit simultaneous flow of the vapor from the heat absorber located proximate the heat transfer surface to the heat sink located outside of the enclosure and of the liquid working fluid from the heat sink located outside of the enclosure to the heat absorber when heat is applied to the heat absorber located proximate the heat transfer surface.
