Abstract
An EMI shielding fluid control shroud is adapted for use in spray cooling EMI producing or EMI sensitive components. The EMI shielding shroud, carried between a printed circuit board and a spray plate, defines an interior spray cavity which prevents interference with coolant spray directed at one or more heat-generating, EMI producing or sensitive components, such as integrated circuits. The size and shape of the shroud provide control over the flow and direction of the coolant spray and result in better cooling of the components carried on the printed circuit board and partially enclosed by the shroud. The shroud provides an EMI shield which prevents passage by EMI in either direction, while allowing coolant fluid to exit through the EMI shielding material.
