Coldplate with integrated electrical components for cooling thereof
First Claim
1. A coldplate for use in cooling electrical components, the coldplate comprising:
- a first coldplate member comprising a pocket and a secondary portion, the pocket of the first coldplate configured to receive a first electrical component and sized to substantially surround the first electrical component when received in the pocket of the first coldplate member; and
a second coldplate member comprising a pocket and a secondary portion, the pocket of the second coldplate member configured to receive a second electrical component and sized to substantially surround the second electrical component when received in the pocket of the second coldplate member;
wherein the first coldplate member and the second coldplate member are adapted to be joined together to form a manifold therebetween for receiving a fluid for use in cooling the first and second electrical components, the secondary portion of the first coldplate member arranged substantially opposite the pocket of the second coldplate member and the secondary portion of the second coldplate member arranged substantially opposite the pocket of the first coldplate member when the first and second coldplate member are joined together.

Abstract
A coldplate for use in cooling electrical components may include first and second coldplate members, each having a pocket and a secondary portion. The pocket of each member is configured to receive an electrical component and sized to substantially surround the component when received in the pocket to provide physical integration of the component in the coldplate member. The first and second coldplate members are adapted to be joined together to form a manifold therebetween for receiving a fluid for use in cooling the electrical components. The secondary portion of each coldplate member is arranged substantially opposite the pocket of the other coldplate member when the coldplate members are joined together.

14. A coldplate for use in cooling electrical components, the coldplate comprising:
-
a first coldplate member comprising a substantially planar portion and an at least partially cylindrical pocket configured to receive a plurality of first magnetic devices and sized to substantially surround the first magnetic devices when received in the pocket of the first coldplate member to provide physical integration of the first magnetic devices in the first coldplate member; and a second coldplate member comprising a substantially planar portion and a pocket having a substantially rectangular prism shape, the pocket of the second coldplate member configured to receive a plurality of second magnetic devices and sized to substantially surround the second magnetic devices when received in the pocket of the second coldplate member to provide physical integration of the second magnetic devices in the second coldplate member; wherein the first coldplate member and the second coldplate member are adapted to be joined together to form a manifold therebetween for receiving a fluid for use in cooling the first and second magnetic devices, the substantially planar portion of the first coldplate member arranged substantially opposite the pocket of the second coldplate member and the substantially planar portion of the second coldplate member arranged substantially opposite the pocket of the first coldplate member when the first and second coldplate members are joined together. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
