US 11,606,885 B2 · Composite multiple channel liquid component for liquid cooled electronics

Abstract

Disclosed are liquid cooling devices for high power density electronics. The liquid cooling devices may include multiple integrated cooling channels for cooling the electronics in various configurations of the cooling channels and fluid distribution paths. A fluid input port and a fluid output port are connected to the supply and return loops of an external cooling source to distribute cooling liquid to the electronics and to return the liquid. The fluid input port may be connected to an inlet channel that distributes the cooling liquid to multiple inlets of the multiple integrated channels. The fluid output port may be connected to an outlet channel that provides a converging channel for the fluid existing from the multiple integrated channels. The multiple cooling fins and channels, inlet channel, outlet channel, fluid inlet port, and fluid outlet port may be integrated into multiple frames that are stacked to assemble the liquid cooling device.
