Abstract:
1. A pumped cooling system for removing heat from at least one heat generating component, said cooling apparatus comprising: a pumped adapted for pumping a heat transfer fluid; a heat exchanger; a low profile extrusion having a profile not greater than about 0.1 inch and defining an interior space, said low profile extrusion having a first exterior surface adapted for receiving heat from the at least one heat generating component, said low profile extrusion connected in fluid communication with the pump and the heat exchanger; said interior space comprising a plurality of microtubes adapted for receiving the heat transfer fluid therein for flow therethrough for the transfer of heat received from the at least one heat generating component, wherein each microtube has an inlet and an outlet; said heat exchanger adapted to receive the heat transfer liquid from the interior space and remove heat from the heat transfer fluid; an inlet end cap in fluid communication with the plurality of microtubes and fluidly interconnecting the microtube inlets; an outlet end cap in fluid communication with the plurality of microtubes and fluidly interconnecting the microtube outlets; and wherein at least one of the inlet end cap and the outlet end cap is in direct contact with the at least one heat generating component.
