Abstract:
An apparatus for transferring heat from a heat producing component to a heat absorbing component, comprising:a) a thermal transfer fluid;b) a composite substrate containing an interior cavity, the composite substrate having a surface, a first portion of the interior cavity containing the thermal transfer fluid, a first portion of the surface of the composite substrate receiving the heat producing component, a second portion of the surface of the composite substrate receiving the heat absorbing component;c) a thermally conductive rotor contained in a second portion of the interior cavity of the composite substrate; andd) an external means for rotating the thermally conductive rotor, whereby the majority of the heat produced by the heat producing component is transferred through the first portion of the surface of the composite substrate and through the thermal transfer fluid into the thermally conductive rotor, the external means rotates the thermally conductive rotor, and the heat in the thermally conductive rotor is transferred through the thermal transfer fluid and through the second portion of the surface of the composite substrate to the heat absorbing component.
