Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention is related to the ^ electrical and electronic component component cutting technology, in particular, it is related to the cold transport of refrigerants in the Linn state, which makes it Cooling technology circulating in contact with the electrical and cooling plate or evaporator to be cooled. + [Previous technology] Electrical and electronic components such as microprocessors (micr〇pr〇ce bipolar transistor ⑽T) and power diodes, most of which are attached to the table to be cooled © air-cooled (Such as. _) The extended surface of the cooling rack is cooled. A fan or blower drives the air through the sheet ' so that the air takes away the heat generated by the element. As the power of the components continues to increase, 7L parts are increasingly miniaturized and the overall compression f and strong convection are sufficient to cool the money and electronic elements. However, other methods solve the heat dissipation problem. When the direct air-cooling method is used, a method for dissipating heat of the component is to belong to ΙΙίίίΪ. A typical cooling slab usually has an attached cooling unit that is in thermal contact with a metal flat plate, so that a single-phase flow system flows through the elbow to take away the amount of chirp generated by the element. There are many design forms of returning flat plates, and some of them use machined grooves instead of pipes to convey the concrete. In any case, all cooling plates are mostly the fluid's thermal sensitivity to dissipate heat. The fluid that has absorbed the heat will flow to the air-cooled ft ′ at = and will be cooled through the surroundings, then return to the pump, and then start the next cycle. This method of using fluid thermal properties to cool electrical and electronic 20052 components is limited by the thermal capacity of a single-phase flowing fluid. For a given fluid, if more heat is to be absorbed, it will inevitably lead to an increase in its own temperature, or more fluid must be extracted. When cooling high-power microelectronic devices, high temperatures and / or large liquid flows will be caused. High temperatures may damage electrical and electronic devices, while large liquid flows require the use of large motor pumps, thus consuming parasitic power. And limit the operation of the cooling system. Large fluid flows can also cause metal buttons to scorch due to high flow rates. When air-cooled cooling is not suitable, another component dissipates heat. ^ Use a heat pipe to transfer heat from a heat source to a place where it is easier to dissipate heat. The heat official is a sealing device 'which is a fine condensable fluid to transfer heat energy from one place to another. The transfer of fluid is accomplished by capillary suction of the liquid phase by the capillary structure. The one-end (evaporator) of the heat pipe is located at the heating place of the component, and the other-end (condensing H) is difficult to be located at the heat sink. Generally, the condenser h is in contact with the extended surface of the fins of the heat radiator to facilitate the dissipation of heat to the periphery. The industrial air towel 1 heat dissipation method * is limited to the ability of the capillary structure to transport fluid to the evaporator. In the case of high heat flux, the so-called "supply condition" occurs when the capillary structure cannot transport enough fluid to evaporate_, which causes the temperature of the component to rise, and even causes the component to be vulnerable to gravity. That is to say, when the evaporation end is above, ⑽λλ / heating capacity is lower than the evaporation end below. Because the silk hair end is placed underneath, the if conveys the capillary removal material and has the effect of gravity. Due to the limitation of the capillary i end, the heat pipe cannot be far 'Heat transfer by distance' cannot be achieved 200521657 15495pif.doc In the case where air-cooled cooling is not suitable, another method of heat dissipation is to use the well-known vapor compression refrigeration cycle. In this example, the cooling plate is the evaporator of this cycle. The compressor will raise the temperature and pressure of the steam so that steam A condenses into a liquid through an air-cooled condenser and returns to the cooling plate for further evaporation and cooling. This method has an isothermal south thermal conductivity and a heat transfer distance Advantages, but some major disadvantages of this method limit its practical application in cooling electrical and electronic components. First, this This method will cause the energy loss of the compressor. In a high-temperature load system, the power consumed by the compressor greatly exceeds the energy required for the system to dissipate heat. In addition, the evaporator (cooling plate) operating at normal temperature has poor insulation. The surface temperature may be lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air and cause condensation of water vapor, which may cause a short circuit and endanger human safety. The design of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle system does not allow any liquid refrigerant to return to the compressor to avoid causing The physical damage of the compressor and the shortened compressor life due to the dilution of the lubricating oil. During the heat dissipation process of the electrical and electronic components, the thermal load will change greatly, resulting in un-evaporated cold, but flat and entering the compressor. This will cause the compressor This shortens the odd π damage. This is also one of the shortcomings of the electronic component cooling method by steaming A. From this point of view, in the case of not suitable for air-cooled cooling, the thermal method of the component needs to be further improved. The invention proposes a pumped liquid refrigerant system, which uses very parasitic energy loss and very The thermal conductivity of the cooling electrical components and parts. The present invention reduces the temperature when the heat is transferred from the component to the heat sink = 20052. According to one aspect of the present invention, a liquid refrigerant pump system sends the refrigerant to the electrical components to be cooled. A cooling plate or evaporator that is in thermal contact with electronic components. The liquid evil refrigerant will partially or completely evaporate after absorbing the heat generated by the components. The steam is condensed into liquid by a conventional condenser elbow, but the condensed liquid system Return to the pump with the remaining non-evaporated liquid. The system proposed by the present invention is nearly isothermal in the process of evaporation and condensation. Based on the above, one object of the present invention is to provide a method for cooling electrical and electronic components. The other purpose is to record low parasitic energy consumption and very local, thermal conductivity to cool the components. The second purpose of the present invention is to reduce the temperature lowered during the heat transfer from the 7L part to the surrounding heat sink. In order to make the above and other objects, advantages, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as follows. [Embodiment] Figs. 1A and 1B! The schematic pump 12 which will be shown as the cooling system 10 starts, which is, for example, a sealed liquid that sends a liquid cold county to the ㈣ 分 f (manifGld) 14. ch) (or line) 16 / each knife cloth at-or 16 series to transfer liquid refrigerant from the manifold 14 to the cooling slab.) The condensing temperature is better. . Above the dew point. As shown in Fig. 2, each cooling plate 18 is connected to the hot axis of the electrical and electronic element 20 to be cooled, thus causing a cold hair. Depending on the amount of heat generated by the element 20, the refrigerant may be on the ^ plate 18 does not evaporate, partially evaporate, or evaporate. In most cases, 'only — part of the refrigerant will evaporate, and the refrigerant mixed with the liquid biphase will leave each cooling plate 18, as shown by arrow 22 in FIG. 1B. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, In the above-mentioned work of the cooling system, each cooling plate 18 discharges the cold_dual-phase mixture on it into the guide = 4, as shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. In most applications, the conduit 24 is a tube connected to a condenser 28 containing a condensing elbow such as a fan μ. The condensation elbow 30 connected to the duct 24 condenses the gas-phase substance back to the liquid-phase substance and removes the heat generated by the element 20, as shown in FIG. In the conduit 24, any non-evaporated liquid then flows through the condenser 28 only. In Fig. 1B, the condenser 28 is cooled by the surrounding air using a fan 32. As long as the object of the present invention is not violated, any heat dissipation method applicable in the prior art may be adopted, such as an air-cooled condenser, a water-cooled or liquid-cooled condenser, and an evaporative condenser. The condenser 28 operates at a pressure and its corresponding temperature, and this temperature is slightly lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. Since the system temperature is always higher than the ambient dew point temperature, moisture condensation in the surrounding air is avoided. The operating point of the condenser is based on the input cooling temperature and its ability to remove thermal energy from the condenser to set the pressure of the entire system, thereby determining the condensation temperature and pressure. In 20052, the tube will be liquid, so the condenser 28 and the helmet need to be pressed to build a secret cold flow channel, which contains ί 二: =? ”And enters the hair through the guide, and becomes biphasic. ^. _Media f reaches the cold plate and the refrigerant evaporates ΪΪΓ, but the plate is tied into a refrigerator that condenses the steam into a liquid, so only the liquid flows out of the condenser. mouth. The outlet is connected to the inlet of the liquid refrigerant pump 12, and the #refrigerant refrigerant is fully secreted to overcome the system ==, and the next cooling cycle begins. In designing pumps, the transfer of liquids to the micro-systems of the pump system or the pump system is different, and the isothermal operation of the present invention is not cold, rather than the heat-sensing capacity of the refrigerant, to transfer heat. This makes it possible to have a lower temperature, and the cooling effect of this system on the components is also achieved through the evaporation of the working fluid to dissipate heat, which can maintain a low fluid rate and a very low pumping power. Compared with the early-phase pumped liquid refrigerant system and vapor compression refrigeration system, the system's parasitic electronic power will be greatly reduced. The cooling system of the present invention is mainly composed of at least one heating element to be cooled and at least one cooling plate evaporator device thermally connected to the element. The evaporable medium is pumped to the cooling plate by a liquid refrigerant pump to be evaporated and circulated. 20052

The evaporable refrigerant from the pump is received through a first duct connected to the cooling plate evaporator. The second duct is connected to the cooling plate evaporator and the condenser, thereby forming a liquid return pipe between the condenser and the cooling pump inlet. Compared with the heat pipe cooling system, the advantage of the system of the present invention is that the liquid flow rate does not depend on the capillary effect, but depends on the liquid flow rate setting of the liquid pump. This can avoid the drying of raw materials. The same as the fresh cooling system = 'the cooling plate / evaporator system of the present invention does not need to consider the influence of gravity' The capacity of the evaporator 18 does not change due to the directionality of its installation. Compared with the heat pipe and vapor compression cooling system, the present invention has another advantage in that it can be placed far away from the condenser to make the sealing and configuration design more active. The hair is simply located in the heat of the 2G element. Since all non-evaporated liquid is returned to the pump ', the heating of multiple cooling plates can be easily adjusted without worrying about damage to the compressor.
