Representative embodiments provide for corresponding fluid atomizer bodies, each generally defining a fluidicly communicative interior cavity. The interior cavity is typically defined by an entry passageway portion, a chamber portion, a plurality of feeder passageways that are tangentially disposed to and fluidly coupled with the chamber portion, and an exit passageway portion fluidly coupled to the chamber portion. In one embodiment, an upper body portion and a lower body portion are bonded together to define a complete fluid atomizer body. Another embodiment provides for producing one or more fluid atomizer bodies by a way of injection molding.

Methods and apparatus for atomization of a liquid

A spray chamber valve control system for ensuring that coolant is sufficiently available at the intakes of pumps in a spray cooled environment regardless of the attitude, acceleration or deceleration of a spray chassis. The spray chamber valve control system includes a spray chassis with an interior portion for spray cooling electronic devices, a plurality of valves positioned within the inner corners of the spray chassis, and a control unit in communication with the valves for controlling the operation thereof. The control unit ensures that at least one valve is open at all times. The control unit also provides a recovery routine for when only one valve is open during a valve state change.

Another embodiment provides for producing one or more fluid atomizer bodies by a way of injection molding. A method provides for spraying or sputtering atomized droplets of an electrically non-conductive coolant onto an electrical apparatus using one or more fluid atomizer bodies.

Injection molding apparatus for producing an atomizer

A spray cooling system for transverse thin-film evaporative spray cooling in a narrow gap which generally includes a framework, a cooling cavity, a plurality of atomizers oriented to transversely spray coolant across the electronic components to be cooled, and preferably a vapor recirculation system and a reduction in cross section from the inlet or spray side to the exit side.

Spray cooling system for transverse thin-film evaporative spray cooling

A fluid control apparatus is adapted for use with a spray plate 100 having at least one atomizer 120 which cools an associated printed circuit board 200 carrying one or more heat-generating components such as integrated circuits 220. At least one spray plate and printed circuit board are carried within a coolant-tight enclosure such as a spray module 300. A preferred shroud 20 is supported by the spray plate. The shroud encloses a spray cavity 24 and provides control over the flow and direction of the spray coolant leaving the atomizers enclosed by the shroud. Control over the flow and direction of the coolant spray better cools the components carried on the printed circuit board and partially enclosed by the shroud.
