March 30, 2021. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent ReferencesTwo phase component cooler Cooling system for computer Thermoelectric device with evaporating/condensing heat exchanger Method and apparatus for a modular integrated apparatus for multi-function components Evaporator for use in an extended air cooling system for electronic components Heat exchanger for electronic equipment Heat sink device for electronic devices CPU cooling system Air or liquid cooled computer module cold plate Patent #: 6305463 InventorsApplicationNo. 823594 filed on 03/30/2001US Classes:361/698, And liquid165/80.4, Liquid cooled165/104.32, With pressurizing means or degassifying means174/15.1, With cooling or fluid feeding, circulating or distributing174/16.3, With heat sink361/687, With cooling means361/689, Fluid361/694, With air circulating means361/695, Fan or blower361/699, Liquid361/701, With heat exchanger unit361/702, With cold plate or heat sink361/709, Heat sink361/711Cooling plate or barExaminersPrimary: Chervinsky, BorisAttorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH05K 007/20AbstractA computer system is provided having a heat exchanger that is relatively large. Although the heat exchanger is large, it is still sufficiently light because of its plastic material. Because of the large size of the heat exchanger, a relatively large surface is provided by the cumulative outer surfaces of fins. The relatively large surface area results in a lower heat flux. The lower heat flux obviates the need for forced convection. There is thus no need to use fans when the computer system is at room temperature.Field of SearchWith cooling meansFluid Fan or blower With heat sink or cooling fins And liquid Liquid Change of physical state With heat exchanger unit With cold plate or heat sink With cooling fins Thermal conduction By specific coating Containing silicon or aluminum Through support means With cooling or fluid feeding, circulating or distributing By heat pipe By ventilation or gas circulation Electrical component Air cooled, including fins Liquid cooled Cooling electrical device Heating or cooling means and gas pump in housing Boiling (evaporative) liquid With electrical component cooling | |
