Abstract
A laser cooling system includes a first tubing, a second tubing, and a cold plate assembly including a first channel to receive the first tubing and a second channel to receive the second tubing. A joint removably couples the first tubing to the second tubing and at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly over the first tubing or the second tubing. The inlet end of the first tubing receives a cooling fluid and an outlet end of the second tubing discharges the cooling fluid after the cooling fluid flows through the first tubing, the joint, and the second tubing to maintain uniform a temperature of the at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first plate having a first channel boustrophedonically formed thereon;
- a second plate having a second channel boustrophedonically formed thereon;
- a first tubing received by the first channel of the first plate;
- a second tubing received by the second channel of the second plate;
- and
- a joint to couple the first tubing to the second tubing.
A cooling system, comprising:
- a first tubing;
- a second tubing;
- a cold plate assembly including a first channel to receive the first tubing and a second channel to receive the second tubing;
- a joint to removably couple the first tubing to the second tubing;
- and
- at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly over the first tubing or the second tubing;
- wherein an inlet end of the first tubing receives a cooling fluid;
- and
- wherein an outlet end of the second tubing discharges the cooling fluid after the cooling fluid flows through the first tubing, the joint, and the second tubing to maintain uniform a temperature of the at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly.
A method, comprising:
- forming a continuous first channel on a first plate;
- forming a continuous second channel on a second plate;
- pressing a first tube into the first channel;
- pressing a second tube into the second channel;
- coupling the first tube with the second tube using a joint;
- receiving a fluid at an inlet end of the first tube;
- and
- discharging the fluid at an outlet end of the second tube after the fluid flows through the first tubing, the joint, and the second tubing.
