Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to heat transferring apparatuses and methods. The apparatus and methods utilize the Joule-Thomson effect to remove heat from a heat source to facilitate cooling of the heat source. In one example, an apparatus receives heat from an object to be cooled. The received heat is used to pressurize a fluid. The pressurized fluid is depressurized through a venturi using vapor pressure as a driving force, thus cooling the fluid.
