Claim Text:
1. In a cold plate having an inlet to which a refrigerant that is sub-cooled is supplied and an outlet from which the refrigerant that is superheated exits the cold plate, between which inlet and outlet at least one passage for flowing the refrigerant internally through the cold plate is operatively arranged to cool at least one heat, generating device associated with the cold plate, the improvement comprising a thermal expansion valve and a sensing element operatively connected with the thermal expansion valve and arranged in the cold plate such the sensing element is located directly in a stream of the flowing refrigerant exiting the outlet of the cold plate so as to communicate a force created by a pressure change in the sensing element due to a temperature change in a refrigerant stream exiting the cold plate to alter a variable flow cross-sectional area of the thermal expansion valve.
