Patent ID: 7855888

Claim:
A cooling apparatus, comprising: a cooling manifold assembly, comprising: a manifold inlet end cap having an inlet body forming a fluid cavity, the inlet body forming an inlet port coupled to the fluid cavity; a manifold outlet end cap having an outlet body forming a fluid cavity, the outlet body forming an outlet port coupled to the fluid cavity; at least one cooling manifold wherein the at least one cooling manifold comprises; a manifold body having a front face and a back face; at least one fluid passageway entering the front face of the manifold body and exiting the back face of the manifold body; a first heat pipe attached to the manifold body; wherein the at least one cooling manifold is captured between the manifold inlet end cap and the manifold outlet end cap and the fluid passageway entering the front face of the manifold body is coupled to the fluid cavity in the inlet body and the fluid passageway exiting the back face of the cooling manifold is coupled to the fluid cavity in the outlet body, whereby the cooling manifold is configured to be rotated, with respect to the inlet and outlet end caps, between an open position and a closed position.
