| 20120138281 | Heat Exchanger for Electronic Assemblies - A liquid-cooled heat exchanger for electronic assemblies and a method of making the heat exchanger. The exchanger has a solid metal body in the form of an elongated flat plate to which the electronic assembly can be mounted, or a number of such plates formed in an L- or U-shaped configuration to enclose two or more sides of the assembly. The elongated body is formed by extrusion, with parallel enclosed longitudinal passages formed along a length of the body during the extrusion process. Transverse passages are drilled to intersect the extruded longitudinal passages. The longitudinal passages and transverse passages are plugged on at least one of their outside ends, and optionally at points along their lengths, to create desired patterns of liquid flow through the heat exchanger. | 06-07-2012 |
