Abstract:
1. A liquid cooling system for cooling heat-generating components in an electronic system having a self-contained heat exchange unit installable as a single unit within the electronic system and comprising: an input cavity for receiving heated liquid and distributing the heated liquid to a dissipater; a dissipater for receiving the heated liquid and cooling the liquid; an output cavity for receiving the cooled liquid from the dissipater and transporting the cooled liquid to the system; wherein the input cavity, the dissipater and the output cavity are disposed to form the self-contained heat exchange unit; one or more heat transfer units coupled to the heat generating components for receiving cooled liquid from the heat exchange unit and generating heated liquid for transportation to the heat exchange unit; and means for transporting cooled liquid from the heat exchange unit to the heat transfer units and for transporting heated liquid from the heat transfer units to the heat exchange unit.
