Abstract:
A thermosiphon assembly for dissipating heat generated by an electronic component using a working fluid, said assembly comprising:an evaporator having a front face, a rear face, and a peripheral wall extending between said front face and said rear face for defining a chamber containing the working fluid; a heat block in contact with said front face for transferring generated heat from the electronic component to the working fluid to vaporize the working fluid; a condenser in fluid communication with said chamber and connected to said rear face for condensing the vaporized working fluid back to a liquid and delivering the liquefied working fluid back to said chamber; and an acute angle between said front face and said peripheral wall such that said chamber extends upwardly at an angle from said front face to said rear face for ensuring complete coverage of the electronic component with the working fluid when said heat block is in any position between vertical and horizontal.
