Abstract
In one general aspect, a converging split-flow microchannel evaporator is disclosed. It includes a conductive contact surface to mate to a surface to be cooled, with a core mounted in thermal connection with the conductive surface that defines at least one layer of microchannels. Within the core, one inlet restriction restricts the flow into each microchannel in a first group of the microchannels, and another restricts the flow into each microchannel in a second group. A centrally located fluid outlet receives the flows from opposite ends of the microchannels in the two groups. A check valve can be provided to help ensure ready startup without reverse flow.
