1. A cooling system for removing heat from at least one heat generating component, said cooling system comprising:
- a first low-profile phase plane heat pipe having a geometrically reoriented surface adapted for receiving heat from the at least one heat generating component along a first section of the geometrically reoriented surface, and having a plurality of micro-tubes disposed therein;
a heat transfer fluid contained within the plurality of micro-tubes;
a second section of the geometrically reoriented heat pipe surface being disposed in a position geometrically offset from the first section and having a plurality of micro-tubes disposed therein and in flow communication with the micro-tubes of the first section; and
wherein the first section of the geometrically reoriented heat pipe surface is connected to the second section through a curved region therebetween.

Abstract
A cooling system for removing heat from at least one heat generating component with a first low-profile phase plane heat pipe having a geometrically reoriented surface adapted for receiving heat from the at least one heat generating component along a first section of the geometrically reoriented surface, and having a plurality of micro-tubes disposed therein. A heat transfer fluid is contained with the plurality of micro-tubes and a second section of the geometrically reoriented heat pipe surface is disposed in a position geometrically offset from the first section.
