Abstract
A thermodynamic heat exchanger is an electronic device having one or more heat generating devices, a heat exchanging element, and one or more heat exhaust elements. The heat generating devices can be the active and passive electronics elements included within a power conversion circuit, such as a power adapter used to charge a cellular telephone or other type of consumer electronics device. The heat exchanging element is configured to accept radiated thermal energy from the heat generating devices and distribute the accepted thermal energy across an outer surface to evenly distribute hot spots corresponding to the individual heat generating devices. The heat exchanging element is also configured to minimize heat radiating from its outer surface, thereby blocking heat in the thickness of the thermally conductive material.
