Patent ID: 6918431

Claim:
A cooling assembly for dissipating heat energy generated by a component, said assembly comprising: a base plate adapted to be mounted to the component; a condenser plate disposed above said base plate; an outer wall interconnecting said base plate to said condenser plate to define a sealed chamber therebetween; a working fluid disposed within said sealed chamber with said working fluid having a liquid phase and a vapor phase such that during an operation of said cooling assembly, said liquid phase of said working fluid is disposed over said base plate and said vapor phase of said working fluid is disposed between said liquid phase and said condenser plate; at least one partition wall mounted to said condenser plate to at least partially divide said sealed chamber with said partition wall angling downwardly toward said base plate for directing working fluid on said condenser plate toward a predefined portion of said base plate, thereby promoting efficient dissipation of heat energy; and a plurality of fins mounted to at least one of said base plate and said condenser plate to improve the dissipation of heat energy.
