Method and apparatus for cooling electronic components
First Claim
1. A method comprising cooling a heat generating component by delivering two or more overlapping full-cone sprays at a surface of the heat generating component, wherein each of the overlapping full-cone sprays includes a non-uniform density such that the overlapping portion of each of the spray cones has a lower spray density than the non-overlapping portions of each of the spray cones.

Abstract
A spray cooling system includes a spray delivery device and a cooling liquid delivered to the spray delivery device. The spray delivery device includes one or more inlet apertures and one or more corresponding outlet apertures, at least one pair of inlet aperture and corresponding outlet aperture being positioned relative to each so as to form an asymmetric non-uniform density full-cone spray pattern.

- 10. A method comprising cooling a heat generating component by delivering at least four overlapping full-cone sprays at a surface of the heat generating component, wherein each of the overlapping full-cone sprays includes an asymmetrical non-uniform density such that the overlapping portion of each of the spray cones has a lower spray density than the non-overlapping portions of each of the spray cones, and wherein each of the spray cones are formed by positioning an inlet aperture relative to an outlet aperture on a spray delivery device, wherein at least four of the fluid inlet apertures have a center point therebetween and wherein each of the four fluid inlet apertures is located closer to the center point relative to that fluid inlet aperture'"'"'s corresponding outlet aperture.
