Title: System and method for controlling the cooling of variable heat loads in heat generating devices
Inventor: MARSALA JOSEPH
IPC: F28D15/02
Filed: 2008-12-18
Abstract: The present invention offers an improvement over prior art cooling systems by accounting for rapid changes in thermal load. The circulation rate of refrigerant in a cooling cycle is set so that the two phase mixture exiting the cold plate evaporator device (18) stays within a saturation dome of all mixtures between a saturated liquid and a saturated vapor. Furthermore, the two phase mixture exiting the cold plate evaporator device (18) is allowed to move within the saturation dome so that the exit quality of the two phase mixture leaving the cold plate evaporator device (18) changes with the heat load being removed. In this way, rapid changes-in heat load are removed from the component (20) or components in contact with the cold plate evaporator device (18) without having to change the circulation rate of refrigerant in the cycle. Only the exit quality of the vapor leaving the cold plate/evaporator (18) changes.
