Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for providing a multiphase pumping mechanism configured for multiphase cooling of electrical charging circuitry. In the context of an apparatus, the apparatus includes a thermoelectric cooling device having first and second opposed surfaces and a fluid circulation path having first and second branches in thermal communication with the first and second surfaces, respectively, of the thermoelectric cooling device. The fluid circulation path is configured to control flow of fluid therethrough such that the fluid alternately flows through the first and second branches. The first branch of the fluid circulation path is also configured to be in a thermal communication with at least one first component of a mobile electronic device in order to absorb heat and correspondingly cool the at least one first component of the mobile electronic device.
