Abstract
An apparatus for using fluid laden with nanoparticles for application in electronic cooling is described. In one embodiment, an electromagnetic pump is used to circulate the nanoparticle laden fluid.
Claims10
An apparatus comprising:
- a thermally conductive plate to be placed in contact with a heat generating device wherein the heat generating device is selected from a group consisting of a processor, a chipset, a graphics controller, and a memory controller;
- a fluid loop coupled to the plate to circulate fluid and have the fluid absorb heat from the plate, the fluid loop to thereafter pass the fluid to a heat exchanger, the fluid containing magnetic nanoparticles and deionized water, to facilitate cooling of the heat generating device;
- and
- an electro-magnetic pump to circulate the fluid through the fluid loop.
