Claim 0:
1. A cooling device comprising:
a gas-liquid separator chamber for holding a coolant that separates into a gas phase and liquid phase within the gas-liquid separator chamber through absorbing heat from an object to be cooled, the chamber including multiple spaced apart outlets;
sensing means for providing an output indicative of orientation and/or acceleration of the chamber; and
control means for using the output of the sensing means to determine an indication of spatial arrangement of a separated liquid phase and gas phase of a gas-liquid mixture within the chamber relative to the outlets, the control means being configured to selectively open one or more of the multiple outlets to allow one of the liquid phase or gas phase to escape from the chamber in preference to the other.
