A Review of Recent Developments in Pumped Two-Phase Cooling Technologies for Electronic Devices

In this review, the heat transfer characteristics of several pumped two-phase electronic cooling technologies are quantitatively examined and compared on the basis of heat flux, coolant temperatures, heat source area, base temperature, and coolant type. Cooling by parallel flow in mini/microchannels, pin fins, spray cooling, and jet impingement are discussed in detail. Chip powers up to 2.9 kW and...
