Abstract:
1. A cooling apparatus comprising: a housing configured to at least partially surround and form a sealed compartment about an electronic device to be cooled; a dielectric fluid disposed within the sealed compartment, wherein the electronic device to be cooled is at least partially immersed within the dielectric fluid; at least one pump disposed within the sealed compartment for actively pumping the dielectric fluid disposed within the sealed compartment towards the electronic device to be cooled, the at least one pump comprising an impingement-cooling, immersed pump disposed within the sealed compartment, the impingement-cooling, immersed pump actively pumping the dielectric fluid drawn via an inlet from a lower region of the sealed compartment towards the electronic device to be cooled; an at least partially submerged baffle disposed adjacent to at least one side of the electronic device to be cooled to facilitate directing of dielectric fluid vapor to an upper region of the sealed compartment, and away from the dielectric fluid in the lower region of the sealed compartment being drawn into the impingement-cooling, immersed pump for active pumping via an outlet towards the electronic device to be cooled, wherein the inlet and the outlet of the impingement-cooling, immersed pump are disposed on different sides of the at least partially submerged baffle; and a vapor condenser extending into the sealed compartment in the upper region of the sealed compartment, the vapor condenser comprising:
