Abstract:
A heat exchanger, especially for air or liquid cooling of at least one heat-producing component, said heat exchanger comprising:a base plate configured in heat exchanging contact with the at least one heat-producing component to provide at least one of air and liquid cooling thereof wherein said base plate includes an evaporator lid, said base plate and said evaporator lid are fabricated from copper and metallurgically joined; a plurality of liquid flow conduits in fluid flow communication with inlet and outlet manifold means with fluid being suppliable to and withdrawable from said inlet and outlet manifold means through said base plate, said liquid flow conduits are in heat exchanging contact with a first outside surface and a second outside surface defining two sides of said base plate, said liquid flow conduits configured to provide fluid transfer of a liquid coolant therein; and a plurality of heat sink fins arranged in parallel with respect to one another, said fins are in thermal contact with said first outside surface of said base plate which in turn is in heat exchanging contact with the second outside surface in thermal contact with the heat-producing component.
