Abstract:
1. A flow distribution module for distributing a flow of fluid over at least one surface to be cooled, the flow distribution module comprising: a housing, an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, a plurality of flow cells establishing one or more fluid connections between the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold, the flow cells being positioned in such a way that a flow of fluid passes along the surface(s) to be cooled when fluid flows from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold via at least one flow cell, a substrate having one or more surfaces to be cooled, an inlet opening for providing fluid to the inlet manifold, and an outlet opening for leading fluid away from the outlet manifold, the flow distribution module being adapted to be connected to another at least substantially identical flow distribution module in such a manner that the inlet opening is connected to another at least substantially identical inlet opening to form a common fluid inlet, and in such a manner that the outlet opening is connected to another at least substantially identical outlet opening to form a common fluid outlet, the flow distribution module thereby being adapted to form part of a stack of flow distribution modules, wherein the flow distribution module is adapted to be connected to another at least substantially identical flow distribution module via one or more substrates, each substrate having one or more surfaces to be cooled.
