Abstract:
A cooling system, applied to an electronic apparatus having a plurality of exoergic circuit elements, which cools the exoergic circuit elements using air supplied from the outside includes a fin heat sink provided on the exoergic circuit elements, and an evaporator, located above the exoergic circuit elements, which cools the air and for guiding the cooled air to the fin heat sink.
Abstract:
The cooling system allows the liquid coolant discharged from the pump to flow into the evaporation chamber. The liquid coolant passes through the atomizer. Minute droplets of the atomized coolant is discharged from the atomizer into the evaporation chamber. The minute droplets serve to form a uniform thin liquid film over the surface of the fin. Heat conducting from a target heat generating object to the fin promotes the evaporation of the liquid coolant over the surface of the fin, for example. The coolant absorbs a large amount of heat from the fin based on the evaporation. The target heat generating object can thus efficiently be cooled.
Abstract:
A refrigeration system allows the refrigerant to circulate through a closed circulation channel. A dry evaporator is incorporated in the circulation channel. The dry evaporator is designed to keep a quality smaller than 1.0 in evaporating the refrigerant. The quantity of heat transfer per unit area, namely, a heat transfer coefficient depends on the quality. The heat transfer coefficient remarkably drops when the quality of the refrigerant exceeds a predetermined threshold level before the quality actually reaches 1.0. The quality of the refrigerant kept below the predetermined threshold level during vaporization of the refrigetant in the dry evaporator allows a reliable establishment of a higher performance of cooling. On the other hand, if a refrigerant completely evaporates in a dry evaporator in a conventional manner, the heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant *remarkably drops after the quality of the refrigerant exceeds the predetermined threshold level. Accordingly, the conventional dry evaporator is forced to absorb heat at a lower heat transfer coefficient, as compared with the present dry evaporator.
