Abstract:
A method of cooling electronic components in an electronic assembly having a plurality of modules, said assembly having a center and a periphery area, comprising the steps:shaping a light weight plate having apertures so that said plate becomes thicker at one end and thinner on a second end;placing a plurality of thin coolant passage tubes in said apertures of said plate, said passage tubes being of a different material than said plate;affixing said coolant passages to said plate by means of a thermal epoxy;placing said plate and coolant passages in thermal contact with said electronic assembly and modules;configuring said plate and coolant passages in a manner so that said thinner side of said plate faces said center of said assembly and said thicker side is placed along said periphery area of said assembly to maximize heat dissipation of said assembly; andcooling said electronic assembly by putting said plate and passage tubes in thermal contact with said assembly after a coolant is also provided in said passages.
