Claim 13:
14. A method for cooling an electronic component via a cold plate, the method comprising:
circulating a cooling fluid in a fluid channel of the cold plate, the fluid channel surrounding a peripheral surface of the cold plate;
allowing some fluid of the cooling fluid to seep from the fluid channel into an internal chamber, the seeping being achieved through a control material located in a gap between the fluid channel and the internal chamber; and
causing vapor to be expelled through a dedicated vapor outlet located in a top surface of the cold plate, the vapor being generated by heat from the electronic component coupled to the cold plate,
wherein the cold plate comprises:
a base portion defined by a peripheral wall and having the fluid channel with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the fluid channel being located adjacent to the peripheral wall; and
a cover coupled to the base portion such that the fluid channel is enclosed internally in the cold plate, the cover having the vapor outlet on a top side of the cover, and
wherein the base portion further includes the internal chamber, the fluid channel being located between the peripheral wall and the internal chamber, and the fluid channel completely surrounding the internal chamber.
