Integrated cooling system

A method, comprising, installing a flexible multi-layer tape in an electrical system, the flexible multi-layer tape including, a top layer;

• an intermediate layer coupled to the top layer;
• and a bottom layer coupled to the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer defining a closed loop circuit for a circulating fluid, the flexible multi-layer tape having a heat extraction region, a fluid ducting region, a fluid pumping region and a heat rejection region;
• attaching the heat extraction region to an electronic component;
• attaching the heat rejection region to a heat sink;
• and
• coupling a pump to the pumping region.

An apparatus, comprising a flexible multi-layer tape, including:

• a top layer;
• an intermediate layer coupled to the top layer and defining a plurality of internal cavities forming a closed-loop circuit for circulating fluid, the plurality of internal cavities including a plurality of heat exchange devices;
• and
• a bottom layer coupled to the intermediate layer.
