Abstract
A low thermal resistance, low cost cooling or heating system and method of constructing the disclosed cooling system. The system may be formed by pressing a tube into a groove in a plate without the use of interface materials or epoxy. The disclosed system includes a plate having a channel adapted to receive a tube, such that the channel holds the tube in place after the tube is press fitted into the channel, thus forming an effective cooling or heating system without the need for addition of epoxy or interface material between the tube and the plate. One or more electronic components to be cooled or heated may be attached to both sides of the disclosed cooling system with equivalent cooling effectiveness. Operation of the disclosed system involves flowing an appropriate fluid through the tube that has been press fitted into the plate.
