Abstract
A heat exchanger includes: a heat spreader plate; plural microchannels for directing heat transfer fluid over the heat spreader plate, wherein each microchannel has a first end and an opposite end, extends substantially parallel with each other microchannel, and has a continuous flow path between the first and opposite ends; a fluid inlet opening for the microchannels and positioned between the first and opposite ends, a first fluid outlet opening from each of the microchannel first ends; and an opposite fluid outlet opening from each of the microchannel opposite ends, the fluid inlet opening and the first and opposite fluid outlet openings providing that a flow fluid that passes into the plurality of microchannels, flows along the plurality of microchannels outwardly from the fluid inlet opening. A method of cooling a heat generating component uses a fluid heat exchanger that splits a mass flow of coolant.
