Abstract:
A cold plate for a liquid cooling system configured for cooling a heat generating electronic component is described. The cold plate may have a heat exchanging interface having a first surface and a second surface for contacting the heat generating electronic component opposite the first surface. The cold plate may also have a plurality of parallel fins extending from the first surface, the plurality of fins defining a plurality of channels. The cold plate may further have a plurality of slots formed in the plurality of fins transversely to the plurality of channels. The cold plate may also include a plurality of barrier walls that extend down into the plurality of slots. The cold plate may further include a seal that has an inlet passage configured to direct a cooling liquid to the plurality of channels.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of cooling a heat generating electronic component using a liquid cooling system, the method comprising:\n pumping cooling liquid to a cold plate, wherein the cold plate includes: a heat exchanging interface having a first surface and a second surface for contacting the heat generating electronic component opposite the first surface; a plurality of parallel fins extending from the first surface, the plurality of fins defining a plurality of channels; a plurality of slots formed in the plurality of fins transversely to the plurality of channels; a plurality of barrier walls that extend down into the plurality of slots; and a seal that has an inlet passage configured to direct the cooling liquid to the plurality of channels; directing the cooling liquid through the inlet passage of the seal, splitting the cooling liquid flow so it flows away from the middle of the plurality of channels down the channels enabling heat to transfer from the heat generating electronic device to the cooling liquid, wherein the barrier walls disrupt laminar flow and create turbulent flow of the cooling liquid as the cooling liquid flows underneath the barrier walls; collecting the cooling liquid from outlet passages at each end of the plurality of channels and supplying the cooling liquid to a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred from the cooling liquid; wherein the plurality of slots include two inner slots and the plurality of barrier walls include two inner barrier walls.
