Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with tunable pumped two-phase liquid cooling thermal management are disclosed. In embodiments, a tunable cooling apparatus may include a thermoelectric cooler device, TEC, that has a hot side and a cold side, where the cold side is to cool the coolant in route to an inlet manifold of the cold plate before the coolant enters the inlet manifold, and the hot side may be to warm the coolant in route from an outlet manifold of the cold plate after the coolant flows through the cold plate and exits the outlet manifold and or vice versa. In embodiments, the coolant may be either in a liquid state or in a vapor state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
