Cooling fluid flow regulation distribution system and method

A method of regulating and distributing cooling fluid flowing through at least one flow regulator, a plurality of orifices, and a plurality of cold plates coupled to one or more electronic devices, the method comprising:

• coupling the cold plates to the electronic devices through one or more rejector plates via a fluid loop;
• flowing the cooling fluid through the at least one flow regulator to the plurality of orifices wherein at least one of the orifices is fixed;
• reducing a flow pressure through the plurality of orifices;
• and
• flowing the reduced pressure cooling fluid through the cold plates for cooling the cold plates and absorbing heat from the one or more electronic devices, wherein flowing the reduced pressure cooling fluid through the cold plates comprises substantially uniformly distributing cooling fluid to the cold plates.
