Abstract
Heat sinks that cool electronics are mounted within a subsea housing or vessel. Springs are used to provide pressure between the heat sinks and a vessel wall. Vessel wall deformation caused by external seawater pressure is absorbed by the springs, which maintain a pre-load force according to the spring characteristics. The mechanism also allows for rack mounting of the electronics without the need for manual access in the relatively compact vessel or housing.
