Claim Text:
1. A housing for use in cooling first and second circuit assemblies with a fluid, the housing comprising: a first coldplate having a top side operable to receive the first circuit assembly; and a second coldplate having a bottom side operable to receive the second circuit assembly; wherein the first and second coldplates are configured to cooperate to form a fluid cooling chamber through which the fluid flows to cool the first and second circuit assemblies, the fluid cooling chamber formed by a bottom side of the first coldplate and a top side of the second coldplate when the first and second coldplates are adjoined; wherein the second coldplate has a fluid cooling chamber groove formed therein around an outer perimeter of the fluid cooling chamber, the fluid cooling chamber groove configured to cooperate with a fluid cooling chamber seal operable to prevent fluid leakage when positioned within the fluid cooling chamber groove; wherein each of the first and second coldplates has an aperture formed therein, the apertures of the first and second coldplates configured to cooperate to permit at least one wire to pass through the first and second coldplates to establish an electrical connection between the first and second circuit assemblies when the first and second coldplates are adjoined; wherein the second coldplate has an aperture groove formed therein around an outer perimeter of the aperture of the second coldplate, the aperture groove configured to cooperate with an aperture seal operable to prevent fluid leakage when positioned within the aperture groove.
