Abstract
A computer system includes a mist cooling system. The mist cooling system suspended droplets of dielectric fluid in air to form a mist and conveys the mist to heat producing components of the computer system. The liquid droplets of the mist wet the heat producing components and remove waste heat as part of a phase change from a liquid phase to a vapor phase. Vaporized dielectric fluid is condensed via a heat exchanger in a chassis of the computer system and is returned to a reservoir for use in generating mist.
