Abstract

Heat transfer devices and methods for making the same that include a first enclosure having at least one inlet port; a second enclosure having a bottom plate and one or more dividing walls to establish channels, at least one internal surface of each channel having rib structures to create turbulence in a fluid flow; and a jet plate connecting the first enclosure and the second enclosure having impinging jets that convey fluid from the first enclosure to the channels, said impinging jets being set at an angular deviation from normal to cause local acceleration of fluid and to increase a local heat transfer rate.

Claims (9)

1. A heat transfer device, comprising:

a first enclosure to accept and collect fluid input comprising at least one inlet port in the center of a top surface of the enclosure to introduce a fluid flow;

a second enclosure comprising a bottom plate and one or more dividing walls to establish a plurality of channels, at least one internal surface of each channel having a plurality of rib structures oriented perpendicular to a long axis of the channels to create turbulence in a fluid flow, wherein the second enclosure is disposed below the first enclosure and centered below the inlet port; and

a jet plate connecting the first enclosure and the second enclosure having a plurality of impinging jets that convey fluid from the first enclosure to the plurality of channels, said impinging jets being set at an angular deviation from normal to cause local acceleration of fluid, to direct fluid in a direction perpendicular to a direction of fluid flow within the plurality of channels, and to increase a local heat transfer rate.

2. The heat transfer device of claim 1 , wherein the ribs are disposed on three internal surfaces of the plurality of channels.

3. The heat transfer device of claim 2 , wherein the ribs are disposed on a bottom surface and two side surfaces of the plurality of channels.

4. The heat transfer device of claim 1 , wherein the ribs are spaced at a consistent distance from one another.

5. The heat transfer device of claim 1 , further comprising two outlet ports, one at either end of the plurality of channels.

6. The heat transfer device of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is a coolant.
