Abstract
A cooling assembly comprising a plurality of fin elements stacked in a stack direction, a plurality of coolant channels each located between adjacent fin elements and extending in a coolant channel direction perpendicular to the stack direction, a first heat transfer surface adapted to be in contact with a heat generating element, and a second heat transfer surface spaced apart from the first heat transfer surface, the plurality of fin elements and the plurality of coolant channels being located between the first heat transfer surface and the second heat transfer surface. Each of the fin elements comprises a pulsating heat pipe embedded therein, a main pulsating direction of each of the pulsating heat pipes being substantially parallel to a normal of the first heat transfer surface.
