1. A heatsink, comprising:
- a cooling zone to contact an object to be frozen and having microchannels formed therein to define a plurality of fluid pathways;
an inlet through which a working fluid enters;
a distributor, interposed between the inlet and the cooling zone, to uniformly distribute the working fluid introduced through the inlet to the microchannels;
an outlet through which the working fluid, passing through the cooling zone, exits; and
a collector, interposed between the cooling zone and the outlet, to collect the working fluid passing through the microchannels.

17. A heatsink to cool a surface of an object to be frozen, comprising:
-
a cooling zone to contact the object to be frozen, the cooling zone having a plurality of fluid pathways formed therein to substantially cover the object to be frozen;
a distributor to distribute a fluid to the microchannels with a uniform pressure distribution to remove heat from the surface of the object to be frozen; and
a collector to collect the fluid having passed through the microchannels without a substantial change in the pressure distribution thereof. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
