Abstract

A system and method for cooling electronic components. A liquid is heated to a temperature near its boiling point and directed against electronic components such that a portion of the heated liquid vaporizes, forming a mixed phase fluid. The mixed phase fluid is drawn away from the electronic components and the vapor is condensed back into a liquid.
