Integral liquid cooling unit for a computer

摘要

An integral liquid cooling unit for an electronic device comprises a manifold (20) defining a plurality of heat sink compartments (22) for heat exchange engagement with the electronic device. The manifold (20) presents a platform (24) for sealing engagement with a pump (26). The manifold (20) also presents an inlet (30) and an outlet (32) and defines internal passages (28) establishing fluid communication between the pump (26) and the inlet (30) and outlet (32) through the heat sink compartments (22). A heat exchanger (34) is mounted directly to the manifold (20) and in fluid communication with the inlet (30) and outlet (32) of the manifold (20). More specifically, the heat exchanger (34) includes a first tank (36) and a second tank (38) each defined by a cylindrical tube with an open lower end of the first tank (36) extending into and in sealed engagement with the inlet (30) in the manifold (20) and an open lower end of the second tank (38) extending into and in sealed engagement with the outlet (32) in the manifold (20).
