Claim 24:
25. A device for removal of heat from a plurality of heat sources, the device comprising:
a first frame member having a first channel configured to direct the flow of working fluid to a plurality of intermediate frame members, each intermediate frame member comprising an intermediate channel in fluid communication with the first channel:
a second frame member spaced from the first frame member, the second frame member having a second channel in fluid communication with the plurality of intermediate frame members to receive the working fluid from the plurality of intermediate frame members, the second channel configured to transfer the working fluid away from the plurality of heat sources; and
a plurality of heat spreaders each in thermal communication with one of the plurality of intermediate frame members, wherein each heat spreader is positioned to receive heat from one of the plurality of heat sources,
wherein at least two protrusions extend from each of the plurality of intermediate frame members, the at least two protrusions on each of the plurality of intermediate fame members form a slot configured to receive one of the plurality of heat spreaders, and
wherein at least one of the first frame member or the second frame member defines a plurality of recesses each having a shape configured to receive an end of one of the plurality of intermediate frame members including an end of the intermediate channel and an end of each protrusion of the one of the plurality of intermediate frame members.
