Abstract:
1. A cooling system for removing heat from at least one heat generating component, the cooling system comprising: a plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes for containing a heat transfer fluid, the plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes having a first end section and a second end section; fin stock in thermal contact with at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes; wherein the plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes have a plurality of micro tubes disposed therein; wherein the first end section of the plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes is in thermal contact with a coupling element adapted for thermal contact with the at least one heat generating component; wherein at least one of the plurality of phase plane heat pipes diverges outwardly from other ones of the plurality of phase plane heat pipes, thereby forming the second end section with an increased spaced relationship relative to the first end section; and wherein the second end section includes means for fluidly connecting the plurality of low profile phase plane heat pipes.
