Abstract:
A mounting apparatus for a cooling device is disclosed. The mounting apparatus includes a plurality of connectors extending outwardly from the cooling device. The mounting apparatus also includes at least one mounting post coupled to the plurality of connectors and configured to mount the cooling device on a substrate.
Abstract:
A heat transfer system is provided for a LED lamp. The LED lamp includes a board surface to supply heat energy during an operation of the LED lamp. The LED lamp is mounted within a recessed housing that separates a first area having a first temperature from a second area having a second temperature, where the second temperature is lower than the first temperature. The system includes a thermal dissipator positioned within the second area. The system further includes a heat transfer device with a first end mounted to the board surface, and a second end mounted to the thermal dissipator, to transfer the heat energy from the board surface in the first area to the thermal dissipator in the second area, and dissipate the heat energy within the second area.
Abstract:
A self-cooling electric submersible pump having an integrated cooling system is provided. The cooling system is configured to cool and lubricate the electric motor section of the pump by expanding a compressed multi-component coolant fluid through flow channels within the motor. The coolant fluid contains a first fluid having a boiling point of at least 230°C and a second fluid having a boiling point of less than 150°C. During pump operation the first fluid acts as a largely incompressible liquid and the second fluid behaves as a compressible gas. A compressor compresses the second fluid in the presence of the first fluid to produce a hot compressed coolant fluid from which heat is transferred to a production fluid being processed by the pump. The compressed coolant fluid is expanded through an orifice and into the motor flow channels, returning thereafter to the compressor.
Abstract:
A heat sink (10) with distributed jet cooling is provided. The heat sink includes a base (12) for thermal connection to at least one heated object (20), an array of fins (14) thermally coupled to the base, and at least one multi-orifice synthetic jet (30) or multiple single orifice jets disposed on a side (15, 16) of the array of fins. A heat sink (100) with distributed and integrated jet cooling is also provided and includes a base (12) and an array of fins (114). Respective ones of at least a subset of the fins comprise a synthetic jet (102) configured to eject an ambient fluid into an ambient environment of the fins and base. Another heat sink (200) with distributed and integrated jet cooling is provided and includes a base (12), an array of fins (214) and multiple synthetic jets (202) coupled to respective ones of the fins. The synthetic jets are provided for at least a subset of the fins.
Abstract:
A thermal management system for an embedded environment is described. The thermal management system includes a pleumo-jet that has at least one wall defining a chamber, at least one piezoelectric device on the at least one wall, and a compliant material within the at least one wall and encompassing the chamber. The compliant material has at least one opening providing fluid communication between said chamber and the embedded environment. A cooling system is also described. A method for making a pleumo-jet is also described.
