Patent ID: 8528628

Claim:
A liquid cooling system, comprising: a cooling block comprising carbon having a grain; the cooling block having a heat transfer surface on a first side of the block, the heat transfer surface configured to accept an electric device thereon, the grain being in substantially normal orientation to the heat transfer surface; a cooling chamber comprising a bottom wall having prismatic projections extending therefrom, the bottom wall defined by a second side of the cooling block, each prismatic projection having an axis generally normal to the bottom wall, a first surface parallel to the axis, and a second surface disposed at an acute angle relative to the axis, the cooling chamber having a coolant inlet; wherein coolant is injected through the coolant inlet into a center of the cooling chamber, prismatic projections being arranged on opposing sides of the coolant inlet, and moves centrifugally towards a cooling block outlet channel in heat transfer relation with said projections; wherein the cooling block communicates with a cooler receiving coolant from the cooling block outlet channel; and wherein the cooling block comprises carbon having nanotubes extending along the grain and substantially normal to the heat transfer surface and parallel to the axis of the prismatic projections, and the prismatic projections are oriented so that each second surface faces substantially toward the center of the bottom wall so that the coolant moving centrifugally from the center of the cooling chamber towards the block outlet channel flows directly across the second surfaces, and the prismatic projections cause coolant micro-turbulences in the moving coolant.
