Patent ID: 7802436

Claim:
A cooling system for removing heat from at least one heat generating component, said cooling system comprising: a pump configured to circulate a first heat transfer liquid; a plurality of flow assemblies in fluid communication with the pump, each of the plurality of flow assemblies having a first interior space disposed therein, a fluid inlet coupled to the first interior space thereof for receiving the first heat transfer liquid therein, and a fluid outlet coupled to the first interior space thereof for removing the first heat transfer liquid therefrom, the fluid inlets and the fluid outlets of each of the plurality of flow assemblies being substantially coplanar therewith; a plurality of sealed assemblies, each of the sealed assemblies comprising a sealed housing having an evaporator section and a condenser section; a plurality of thermoelectric coolers, each of the thermoelectric coolers having a first side and a second side; the plurality of flow assemblies and the plurality of sealed assemblies being juxtaposed together in an alternating sequence, the alternating sequence comprising: a first flow assembly of the plurality of flow assemblies in thermal contact with a first side of a first thermoelectric cooler of the plurality of thermoelectric coolers; a first sealed assembly of the plurality of sealed assemblies in thermal contact with a second side of the first thermoelectric cooler and a second side of a second thermoelectric cooler of the plurality of thermoelectric coolers; a second flow assembly of the plurality of flow assemblies in thermal contact with a first side of the second thermoelectric cooler and a first side of a third thermoelectric cooler of the plurality of thermoelectric coolers; and a second sealed assembly of the plurality of sealed assemblies in thermal contact with a second side of the third thermoelectric cooler; wherein at least one of the plurality of sealed assemblies includes a second interior space comprising a plurality of micro tubes and containing a second heat transfer fluid; and wherein each of the plurality of micro tubes are connected in fluid communication one with the other.
