Abstract
An electronic chassis for enclosing and cooling electronic equipment is described that includes an oscillating heat pipe (OHP), wherein a first portion of the OHP extends into a rail of the chassis and a second portion of the OHP extends into the side panel on which the rail is located so that at least a portion of heat from operation of electronic equipment on a circuit card assembly (CCA) in contact with the rail passes through the rail to the OHP and from the OHP to a side panel of the chassis on which the rail is located where it is dissipated into an environment. In some instances, the side panel includes cooling fins. Also described is a method for forming such a chassis substantially of metal such as aluminum or its alloys using 3D printing or additive manufacturing.
