An apparatus and method of circulating a heat-absorbing material within a heat exchanger (100) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a manifold layer (101) coupled to an interface layer (150). The manifold layer (101) comprises an inlet manifold (105, 115) and an outlet manifold 110. The interface layer (150) comprises a plurality of channels (105) that extend from the inlet manifold, toward a heatexchanging plane (105A), and turn away from the heat-exchanging plane (150A), terminating at the outlet manifold (110). The plurality of channels (105) are stacked in a plane non-parallel to the heat-exchanging plane (150). Each of the channels (105) is adjacent to another, thus allowing heat radiated from a heat generating device (180) to be conducted to a cooling material circulating within the channels (105), away from the heat-generating device (180). Preferably, each of the channels (105) has a U-shape or an elongated U-shape. |
