COMPOSITE FLOW-THROUGH HEAT SINK SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system including a flow-through heat sink is depicted. A flow-through heat sink may include an enclosure housing a nonmetal matrix composite. At least one surface of the enclosure may be in contact and/or close proximity to a heat source. The enclosure may be formed through an additive manufacturing process.

1. A flow-through heat sink system comprising:
an enclosure defining an internal cavity; a conductive matrix disposed within the internal cavity, wherein the enclosure is at least partially formed around the conductive matrix via an additive manufacturing process; a phase change material at least partially collocated with the conductive matrix within the internal cavity; and a flow-through channel disposed within the internal cavity in thermal contact with at least one of the conductive matrix or the phase change material.
