Abstract:
A flexible liquid ribbon cooler for use with electronic components which includes a plurality of elongate thermo-conductive members, which are circular in cross-section, and which are positioned side by side. A bottom and a top layer of thermo-conductive material enclose the bottom and tops of the elongate members and form a plurality of liquid coolant passageways between the elongate members within the layers. The elongate members may be solid cylinders or tubes. A plurality of microcapillaries may be formed in the bottom layer to provide additional thermocoupling, adhesion, and detachability.
