Abstract

A heat absorbing or dissipating device has a multi-pipe arrangement for flowing thermal conductive fluids having a temperature difference. The thermal conductive fluids are reversely transported by a first fluid piping and second fluid piping of the multi-pipe arrangement and configured in way such that the piping has a parallel arrangement on a same end side of a heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space.

Claims

1. A heat absorbing or dissipating device comprising:

a passive heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space having at least one heat absorbing or dissipating body having a first side, wherein the heat absorbing or dissipating body has an inlet manifold having a first and second outlet on opposite ends of the first side and an outlet manifold having a first and second inlet on opposite ends of the first side of the heat absorbing or dissipating body;

at least one first fluid piping coupled to the first outlet of the inlet manifold and to the first inlet of the outlet manifold to form at least one first circuit within the heat absorbing or dissipating body;

at least one second fluid piping coupled to the second outlet of the inlet manifold and to the second inlet of the outlet manifold to form at least one second circuit within the heat absorbing or dissipating body,

wherein the at least one first and second circuits are configured in a way such that any thermal conductive fluid is flowable in the heat absorbing or dissipating body such that the flow through the at least one first circuit is in one direction and the flow in the at least one second circuit is in a parallel and opposite direction to the one direction.

2. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first outlet of the inlet manifold is configured in a way such that the first outlet is located in a first position adjacent to the second inlet of the outlet manifold and the second outlet of the inlet manifold is configured in a way such that the second outlet is located in a second position adjacent to the first inlet of the outlet manifold.

3. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first fluid piping and the at least one second fluid piping can be integrally formed with the heat absorbing or dissipating body.

4. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first fluid piping and the at least one second fluid piping can be formed with the heat absorbing or dissipating body as an assembled structure.

5. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat absorbing or dissipating body can be formed from at least one single structural body selected from the group consisting of a plate, a block, multi-fin structure, and a structural unit assembled with fins.

6. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first fluid piping, the at least one second fluid piping, or the heat absorbing or dissipating body, or combinations thereof can be formed into various geometric shapes.

7. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thermal conductive fluid is a gaseous or liquid state fluid, or changes phases from a gas to a liquid fluid, or liquid fluid to gas.

8. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thermal conductive fluid flows through the at least one first fluid piping and the at least one second fluid piping by pumping, evaporation, or heat-cold natural circulation.

9. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat transference to the passively heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space is through cold-heat natural circulation of the thermal conductive fluid having a temperature difference or forced fluid pumping to generate thermal transference of heat by heat convention, radiation or conduction.

10. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thermal conductive fluid passing through the at least one first fluid piping and the at least one second fluid piping flows in a closed-loop or open-loop system.

11. The heat absorbing or dissipating device according to claim 1, wherein the heat absorbing or dissipating device is configured to transfer heat to the thermal conductive fluids from the passive heat dissipating or absorption receiving article so that a more uniform temperature distribution occurs within the passive heat dissipation or absorption receiving article or space.

12. The heat absorbing or dissipating device as recited in claim 1, wherein the flow through the at least one first circuit and flow through the at least one second circuit is parallel and opposite in immediately adjacent sections in the at least one first circuit and the at least one second circuit.
