A combination spray and cold plate thermal management system for effectively thermally managing a heat producing device during startup. The combination spray and cold plate thermal management system includes a spray unit thermally managing a heat producing device and a coolant reservoir thermally connected to the heat producing device. The coolant reservoir includes a porous media with coolant channels for storing a volume of the waste coolant after spraying of coolant has terminated. The coolant reservoir is fluidly connected to the spray chamber within the spray unit to receive the waste coolant.

Combination spray and cold plate thermal management system

A spray cooling system for transverse evaporative spray cooling in a narrow gap, which may generally include a mixing zone, a converging zone, a plurality of cooling conduits, and a re-circulation conduit. The spray cooling system in some of its embodiments, provides, among other things, a feed system for narrow gap evaporative spray cooling, a method for reducing the pressure gradient across the surface from which heat is to be transferred and a housing system which utilizes a baffle to separate the plurality of cooling conduits from a re-circulation conduit and to re-circulate vapor to the entry of the cooling conduit.
