Abstract:
1. A system for cooling a heat-generating device, the system comprising: a base adapted to be coupled to the heat-generating device; a U-shaped housing coupled to the base, the heat generating device located over the base; a U-shaped liquid channel formed between the base and the housing wherein the housing forms a portion of the liquid channel, wherein a heat transfer liquid is circulated through the liquid channel to remove heat generated by the heat-generated device; and a U-shaped heat pipe disposed within the liquid channel, wherein the heat pipe increases the heat transfer surface area to which the heat transfer liquid is exposed, the heat pipe comprising a curved base portion adjacent the heat generating device and leg portions extending beyond the heat generating device to define cold heat pipe regions, the legs being coupled to a pump and a heat exchanger located at a distance from the heat generating device.
