Manifold for a coldplate cooling system

A coolant fluid manifold for coupling to a cold plate, the coolant fluid manifold comprising:

• an input channel including an inlet and an outlet, wherein:
• the inlet is configured to receive input coolant fluid,
• the input channel includes a guide element configured to guide fluid flow from the outlet, and
• the guide element includes:
• a leading contact surface projecting from a top wall or a base wall of the input channel substantially perpendicular to a plane of the outlet, and leaving a gap between the guide element and the base wall or the top wall respectively,
• a trailing contact surface tapering from the leading contact surface toward a sidewall of the input channel, and
• shape and position of the leading contact surface and the trailing contact surface are configured to skew fluid flow from the inlet toward outputting a higher proportion of fluid proximate a center or a midpoint of the outlet while limiting fluid flow toward an edge of the input channel that corresponds to an outer wall of the cold plate.
