Description
Current cooling systems are limited by the heat carrying capacity of the fluid, which is in turn limited by the pumping technology to move the fluid. This proposal allows a much higher heat capacity in the fluid, due to allowing the fluid to go from a 5% to 95% quality within the cooling circuit, which is enabled by an innovative and unique pumping technology that will be developed in this proposal. With this wide span of qualities in the fluid you can create an active pumping heat pipe system, with associated higher heat capacities. This represents a major breakthrough in thermal management of systems of this type.
