Abstract

In a cooling system, a variable orifice controls the flow of cooling fluid through a cooling fluid flow path. The variable orifice includes an adjustable diaphragm shutter through which the cooling fluid flows. Upon manipulation of the adjustable diaphragm shutter, a diameter of an opening of the adjustable diaphragm shutter is adjusted to control the flow of the cooling fluid.
