| 2002 | Invention patented by Shyy-Woei Chang on March 7th, 2002. Abstract: A CPU cooler based on a flow field of impinging jet array includes a cooling base having an array of recesses on a top surface. The cooling base is disposed on a CPU. An orifice plate of a size substantially similar to the cooling base has an array of orifices with each orifice corresponding to a recess of the array of recesses. The orifice plate is spaced above the cooling base by a separation distance. A fan is secured to the CPU, with the cooling base and orifice plate being secured between the fan and the CPU. The fan when activated provides a coolant flow that produces vortical flow structures with enhanced turbulence on each recess by impinging air jets onto the recesses through the orifices corresponding to the recesses, thereby dissipating heat generated fly the running CPU. |
