Abstract
A pump-assisted cooling system including a pump, a fluid feed line, a fluid bypass line, a heat exchanger, and a cooler assembly. The cooler assembly includes one or more heat generating devices, a housing, a fluid inlet and outlet, a fluid pathway, a vaporization structure, a condenser, and a condenser outlet line. The fluid pathway within the housing is fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet and outlet. The vaporization structure includes a plurality of feeding tubes fluidly coupled to the fluid pathway, a wick, and one or more vapor outlets. The condenser is housed within the housing. The vaporization structure induces vaporization of a cooling fluid and facilitates vapor flow into the condenser. The condenser induces condensation of the cooling fluid, the cooling fluid rejoins the fluid bypass line through the condenser outlet line positioned distal to the condenser.
