Abstract
A water block assembly comprising a water block unit and an insulating housing, and a method for insulating a water block unit are provided. The water block unit has an external thermal transfer surface configured to be in contact with a heat generating component to be cooled, and defines an internal fluid conduit for circulating fluid therein, a fluid inlet for feeding fluid into the internal fluid conduit, and a fluid outlet for discharging fluid from the internal fluid conduit. The insulating housing at least partly embeds the water block unit therein to limit heat transfer from the water block unit to a surrounding environment thereof, the insulating housing having an internal surface in contact with the water block unit.
Claims13
A water block assembly comprising:
- a water block unit having an external thermal transfer surface configured to be in contact with a heat generating electronic component to be cooled, the water block unit defining:
- an internal fluid conduit for circulating fluid therein;
- a fluid inlet for feeding fluid into the internal fluid conduit;
- and
- a fluid outlet for discharging fluid from the internal fluid conduit;
- and
- an insulating housing, formed of an insulating material, at least partly embedding the water block unit therein to limit heat transfer from the water block unit to a surrounding environment thereof, the insulating housing having an internal surface in contact with the water block unit and an external surface in contact with air, wherein the insulating material forms the internal surface and the external surface.
