Abstract
A system and method of using refrigerant for cooling electronic components is presented. The system includes a surface. At least one electronic component is coupled to the surface, the at least one electronic component including an integrated circuit. A closed-loop refrigeration circuit is coupled to the surface for removing heat generated by the integrated circuit. The closed-loop refrigeration circuit includes a condenser. A blower is coupled to the surface, the blower having a first port, a second port, and an impeller that rotates around an axis. The blower is oriented such that the axis is perpendicular to the surface and non-intersecting with the condenser, wherein the blower moves air across the condenser.
