FOLDED-FIN VAPOR CHAMBER COLD PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032249 titled 'FOLDED-FIN VAPOR CHAMBER COLD PLATE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a heat removal apparatus that consists of a vapor chamber device and a cover. The vapor chamber device includes a base and a folded fin structure, which together form a vapor chamber containing a wick and a working fluid. The cover and the vapor chamber device create a liquid chamber for receiving liquid coolant. The folded fin structure has grooves on both sides, with one set of grooves forming part of the vapor chamber and the other set forming part of the liquid chamber.

  • The heat removal apparatus includes a vapor chamber device and a cover.
  • The vapor chamber device has a base and a folded fin structure.
