Abstract
To provide a cooling arrangement utilizing liquid coolant, and capable of operating at or near the freeze point of the liquid coolant so as not to freeze solid, a steady state heat exchanger is provided. The heat exchanger includes a liquid impingement plate having a liquid carrying channel therein, a liquid supply tube for spraying liquid into the liquid carrying channel, and a liquid containment plate disposed in spaced relation to the liquid carrying channel which, together with the liquid impingement plate, defines a liquid flow chamber therebetween. Additionally, the heat exchanger includes a liquid inlet in communication with the liquid supply tube and a liquid outlet in communication with the liquid flow chamber, and utilizes a central thermal bus in heat exchange relation to the liquid impingement plate.
