Cooling system for electronic circuit components
First Claim
1. A cooling system for electronic circuit components mounted on a printed circuit board, including a cooling plate arranged substantially in parallel with said printed circuit board, said cooling plate having therein one or more coolant passages, thermal contact elements arranged on said cooling plate so as to be in resilient contact with the surfaces of the electronic circuit components, and means for supplying and circulating liquid coolant, through said coolant passage, so that the electronic circuit components are cooled via said thermal contact elements by said liquid coolant, characterized in that, said cooling plate has one or more shortcut passages, the cross-sectional area of which is smaller than that of said coolant passage,. to mutually connect predetermined portions of said coolant passage.

Abstract
A cooling system for electronic circuit components mounted on a printed circuit board, includes a cooling plate having a coolant passage, thermal contacts arranged on the cooling plate to be in resilient contact with the surfaces of the electronic components, which are cooled via the thermal contacts by liquid coolant flowing through the coolant passage. The cooling plate has one or more shortcut passages, the cross-sectional area of which is smaller than that of the coolant passage, to mutually connect predetermined portions of the coolant passage. The liquid coolant can be discharged from the cooling plate via the shortcut passage.
