Abstract:
1. A narrow gap thin-film evaporative spray cooling system for cooling at least one electronic component utilizing a transversely sprayed cooling fluid, comprising: a transverse spray framework defining an at least partial perimeter around a narrow gap cavity, the narrow gap cavity including a height, a width greater than the height, and a length, disposed to house at least one electronic component to be spray cooled; a plurality of transverse atomizers integral with the transverse spray framework at a first side of the transverse spray framework, the plurality of transverse atomizers being disposed to receive cooling fluid and to spray the cooling fluid into the narrow gap cavity transverse to the at least one electronic component; a cooling fluid outlet in fluid communication with the cooling fluid cavity, disposed to receive cooling fluid from the narrow gap cavity and route it to a transverse spray framework outlet.; and further wherein a cross-sectional area of the narrow pan cavity reduces from the atomizers to the cooling fluid outlet.
