Abstract:
1. A heat exchange apparatus comprising: a) at least one heat exchanger; b) an intake manifold in fluid communication with each heat exchanger of the at least one heat exchanger, wherein the intake manifold is capable of providing a heat exchange medium separately to each heat exchanger; c) an exhaust manifold adjacent to the intake manifold, the exhaust manifold being in fluid communication with each heat exchanger of the at least one heat exchanger, wherein the exhaust manifold is capable of receiving the heat exchange medium from each heat exchanger; d) a plurality of multichip modules mounted to a card, wherein each multichip module of the plurality of multichip modules is positioned between a heat exchanger and the card, such that heat can transfer between each multichip module and a respective heat exchanger; e) the exhaust manifold and the intake manifold positioned above and adjacent to a side of the card; and f) the plurality of multichip modules being mounted on the side of the card in a position lateral to the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold.
