Abstract
A liquid cooling module for cooling electronic circuit components and the like comprises the use of a fluidic amplifier element in conjunction with a thermally sensitive fluidic element. The thermally sensitive fluidic element responds to the change in viscosity with respect to temperature of a coolant flowing through a cooling plate. In response to the viscosity change, the thermally sensitive element produces a fluidic control signal to the fluidic amplifier element, which increases the rate of flow through the cooling plate with increasing coolant temperature and decreases the rate of flow through the cooling plate with decreasing coolant temperature.
