Abstract:
1. A heat exchange module for removing heat from a heat-generating component comprising: a fan duct including a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion cooperating with the upper portion to define therebetween an air passage; an evaporator containing therein a working fluid and having a lower protrusion fitting through the lower portion of the fan duct and adapted for thermally contacting the heat-generating component; a condenser being in fluid communication with the evaporator, wherein the evaporator and the condenser are received in said air passage, the working fluid turns into vapor in the evaporator upon receiving heat from said heat-generating component and the vapor turns into condensate upon releasing the heat to the condenser; and an electric fan attached to the fan duct, the electric fan producing an airflow flowing through the air passage for removing the heat away from the condenser; wherein the condenser includes a housing member, a plurality of tube members in fluid communication with the housing member, and a fin member maintained in thermal contact with the tube members.
