Abstract
In one embodiment of the invention, a pump includes a pump housing, an impeller, and a motor. The pump housing has a pump chamber and a heat receiving plate to couple to a heat generating unit, such as a CPU. The impeller is provided in the pump chamber. The motor couples to the impeller to rotate it. A region of the heat receiving plate projects further outward than other regions to couple the heat receiving plate to the IC chip.

7. A cooling system for an electronic device comprising:
-
a heat dissipation portion to dissipate heat out from a coolant and away from a heat generating unit mounted in the electronic device;
a pump to transfer the coolant to the heat dissipation portion, the pump including a pump housing having a pump chamber and a heat receiving portion to couple to the heat generating unit, the pump housing over the heat generating unit including a center region to couple to the heat generating unit to dissipate heat away from the heat generating unit into the coolant, the center region projecting outward further than other regions of the heat receiving portion to couple to the heat generating unit, an impeller in the pump chamber, and a motor coupled to the impeller, the motor to rotate the impeller in the pump chamber to pump the coolant;
a circulation path coupled between the pump and the heat dissipation portion, the circulation path to circulate the coolant between the pump and the heat dissipation portion to transfer the heat of the heat generating unit to the heat dissipation portion through the coolant; and
an electric fan located adjacent the heat dissipation portion, the electric fan to blow cooling air towards the heat dissipation portion. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
