Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a plurality of channels formed in a base, each channel having first and second ends, the channels substantially parallel to a surface of the base and running from a first to a second edge of the base; a first pair of manifolds, each manifold of the first pair having a plurality of branches and a plenum connected to the branches, a first manifold of the first pair disposed at the first edge and a second manifold of the first pair disposed at the second edge of the base, the first pair of manifolds in fluid communication with a first group of the channels; a second pair of manifolds, each manifold of the second pair having a plurality of branches and a plenum connected to the branches, a first manifold of the second pair disposed at the first edge and a second manifold of the second pair disposed at the second edge of the base, the second pair of manifolds in fluid communication with a second group of channels and isolated from the first pair of manifolds and the first group of channels; and wherein the one or more channels of the first group are substantially thermally non-blocking with respect to the one or more channels of the second group of channels in a direction towards a heat source.
