Patent ID: 7400503

Claim:
A method comprising: accepting a fluid at an inlet of a heat exchanger that comprises a core and a plurality of fins, wherein the core has a first end and a second end, wherein the ends are disposed along an axis, wherein the core defines a cavity extending between the first and second ends and wherein the plurality of fins extend outwardly from the core between the first and second ends; directing the fluid within the cavity using an element disposed within the cavity; evacuating the fluid at an outlet of the heat exchanger and along the axis at the second end; receiving, at an inlet of a pump housing, the fluid from the outlet of the heat exchanger; moving the fluid toward an outlet of the pump housing using an impeller that is (i) disposed within the pump housing and (ii) disposed to spin about the axis; evacuating the fluid from the outlet of the pump housing to the inlet of the heat exchanger; powering the impeller using a motor; and providing a cold plate disposed at least partially within the pump housing.
