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.
