Liquid cooling high power compact electronics

Conventional electronics liquid cooling are used in automatic test equipment (ATE) and military equipment, it is implemented using blind-mate fluid disconnects packaged alongside the card edge connectors, or using hoses and manual latching fluid disconnects. This paper describe a novel rack-mount liquid cooling packaging architecture. This arrangement utilizes manual latching fluid disconnects, so that the fluid transport lines to the electronics below are also front-side accessible. The system enables single or two-phase heat transfer between the fluid and the electronics as long as the heat load ensures only liquid passes to the pump. The liquid cooling system itself relies on the ambient air to dissipate the heat; it only transports the heat to a rack location where it easier to dissipate the heat.
