Patent ID: 7885070

Claim:
An apparatus for facilitating cooling of an electronic system, the apparatus comprising: a container sized to receive an electronic system therein, the electronic system comprising multiple different types of electronic components; a coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet port associated with the container for facilitating ingress and egress of coolant through the container, wherein the container comprises a wash flow opening in fluid communication with the coolant inlet port for passing a portion of coolant ingressing therethrough through the container as a coolant wash flow, and wherein when the electronic system is operatively positioned within the container and coolant flows therethrough, different types of electronic components of the electronic system are immersion-cooled by the coolant wash flow passing thereacross; and a manifold structure associated with the container, the manifold structure comprising a coolant jet plenum with an inlet opening in fluid communication with the coolant inlet port for receiving a portion of coolant ingressing therethrough, and at least one jet flow orifice in fluid communication with the coolant jet plenum, the at least one jet flow orifice being positioned to facilitate jet flow cooling of at least one electronic component of the electronic system by jet impingement of coolant thereon when the electronic system is operatively positioned within the container.
