Abstract

According to one embodiment of the invention a method for controlling cooling of a heat-generating structure disposed in an environment having an ambient pressure includes providing a fluid coolant and reducing the pressure of the coolant to a subambient pressure at which the coolant has a boiling temperature less than a temperature of the heat-generating structure. The method further includes boiling and vaporizing coolant to absorb heat from the heat-generating structure by bringing the coolant into thermal communication with the heat generating structure. The method also includes measuring a parameter indicative of a pressure of the coolant and adjusting the pressure of the coolant in response to control the cooling of the heat-generating structure.
To be accompanied, when published, by Figure 1 of the drawings.
