Patent ID: 7515418

Claim:
An arrangement having a cooling function, comprising: a circuit board; a plurality of heat generating electronic devices attached to the circuit board; a plurality of cooling devices each thermally connected to at least one of the plurality of electronic devices, and each including an intake; a coolant plate comprising a manifold configured in a parallel configuration providing independent fluid communication with the intake of each of the plurality of cooling devices; and a source of pressurized coolant fluid connected to the coolant plate and adapted to cause the coolant fluid to be transferred between the coolant plate and each of the plurality of cooling devices independently via the parallel configuration such that separate portions of the coolant fluid are delivered to each of the plurality of cooling devices, each of the plurality of cooling devices being adapted to absorb heat from at least one of the plurality of electronic devices and transfer that heat to the coolant fluid, and the coolant plate being adapted to absorb heat from others of the plurality of electronic devices and transfer that heat to the coolant fluid.
