Abstract:
A system for dissipating heat from a high power density device, the system comprising:a. a solid-fluid heat exchanger placed adjacent to the high power density device, the solid-fluid heat exchanger containing liquid metal; b. means for cooling the liquid metal, the cooling means being placed at a predefined distance away from the solid-fluid heat exchanger; c. at least one conduit passing through the solid-fluid heat exchanger and the cooling means in the form of a closed loop, the conduit circulating the liquid metal between the solid-fluid, heat exchanger and the cooling means; d. at least one electromagnetic pump for pumping the liquid metal through the conduit, wherein heat is transferred away from the high power density device to the cooling means through the liquid metal contained in the conduit, the liquid metal being circulated in the conduit by the electromagnetic pump.
