Electronic device cooling apparatus
First Claim
1. An evaporator for use in an apparatus for cooling an electrical component, the evaporator comprising:
- an evaporator housing having a depending shroud adapted to be positioned over the electrical component;
a manifold located in the evaporator housing above the shroud;
a plurality of holes connecting the manifold with a space encompassed by the shroud;

Abstract
An apparatus for cooling an electrical component is disclosed which comprises a sorber containing a sorbent; a condenser in fluid communication with the sorber; an evaporator in fluid communication with both the sorber and the condenser and connected in heatexchange relation to the electrical component; wherein a sorbate which has been condensed in the condenser is evaporated in the evaporator, thereby absorbing heat from the electrical component, and then adsorbed onto the sorbent; an electromagnetic wave generator; a waveguide coupler for directing the electromagnetic waves to the sorbent; wherein the sorbate is desorbed from the sorbent by the electromagnetic waves and condensed in the condenser; and wherein the desorption of the sorbate from the sorbent is substantially isothermal.
