Claim 0:
1. A device for removal of heat from a plurality of heat sources, the device comprising:
a first manifold configured to receive a working fluid;
a plurality of elongated intermediate frame members each in thermal communication with at least one of the plurality of heat sources, each elongated intermediate frame member including a channel in fluid communication with the first manifold and configured to receive the working fluid from the first manifold, wherein each elongated intermediate frame member includes a slot extending along a longitudinal axis of the elongated intermediate frame member, wherein the slot has a closed end that extends along the longitudinal axis and is proximal to a longitudinal boundary of the channel and an opposite open end that extends along the longitudinal axis and is distal to the longitudinal boundary of the channel, and wherein the slot is configured to receive a heat spreader and position the heat spreader adjacent at least one of the plurality of heat sources; and
a second manifold spaced from the first manifold and in fluid communication with the plurality of elongated intermediate frame members, wherein the second manifold is configured to receive the working fluid from each channel in the plurality of elongated intermediate frame members, and wherein the second manifold is configured to transfer the working fluid away from the plurality of heat sources.
