Fluid ejection dies
A fluid ejection device may include a fluid ejection die embedded in a moldable material, and a number of heat exchangers thermally coupled to an ejection side of the fluid ejection die. Further, the fluid ejection device may include a number of cooling channels defined in the moldable material thermally coupled to the heat exchangers.
1. A fluid ejection device comprising:
a fluid ejection die embedded in a moldable material;
a number of fluid actuators within the fluid ejection die;
a number of heat exchangers thermally coupled to an ejection side of the fluid ejection die; and
a number of cooling channels defined in the moldable material thermally coupled to the heat exchangers.
2. The fluid ejection device of claim 1 , wherein the heat exchangers comprise a wire, a bend ribbon, a heat pipe, a lead frame, or combinations thereof.
3. The fluid ejection device of claim 1 , wherein the fluid actuators comprise a number of fluid recirculation pumps within the fluid ejection die to recirculate fluid within a number of ejection chambers of the fluid ejection die,
wherein the fluid recirculated by the fluid recirculation pumps within the ejection chambers of the fluid ejection die is present within the cooling channels.
4. The fluid ejection device of claim 1 , wherein the cooling channels convey a cooling fluid, the cooling fluid functioning to transfer heat from the heat exchangers.
5. The fluid ejection device of claim 1 , wherein the heat exchangers are embedded within the moldable material, and exposed to the cooling channels.
6. The fluid ejection device of claim 1 , further comprising a shroud coupled to an ejection side of the fluid ejection device and thermally coupled to the heat exchangers.
7. A print bar comprising:
a fluid ejection device comprising:
a fluid ejection die embedded in a moldable material;
a number of fluid recirculation pumps within the fluid ejection die to recirculate fluid within a number of ejection chambers of the fluid ejection die;
a number of heat exchangers at least partially embedded within the moldable material and thermally coupled to an ejection side of the fluid ejection die; and
a number of cooling channels defined in the moldable material thermally coupled to the heat exchangers.
8. The print bar of claim 7 , further comprising a recirculation reservoir for recirculating a cooling fluid through the cooling channels.
9. The print bar of claim 8 , wherein the recirculation reservoir comprises a heat exchange device to transfer heat from the cooling fluid.
10. The print bar of claim 7 , further comprising a controller to:
control ejection of the fluid from the fluid ejection die; and
control the fluid recirculation pumps.
11. The print bar of claim 10 , wherein the cooling fluid is the same as the fluid recirculated within the ejection chambers of the fluid ejection die.
12. The print bar of claim 10 , wherein the cooling fluid is different than the fluid recirculated within the ejection chambers of the fluid ejection die.
13. A fluid flow structure, comprising:
a sliver die compression molded into a molding;
a fluid feed hole extending through the sliver die from a first exterior surface to a second exterior surface;
a fluid channel fluidically coupled to the first exterior surface; and
a number of heat exchangers at least partially molded info the molding and thermally coupled to the second exterior surface of the fluid ejection die.
14. The fluid flow structure claim 13 , further comprising a shroud coupled to the ejection side of the fluid ejection device and thermally coupled to the heat exchangers.
