ABSTRACT:
A dynamic spray system for effectively thermally managing electronic components. The dynamic spray system includes one or more spray units each having a housing structure, a first portion, a first orifice within said first portion fluidly connected to a swirl chamber, a main jet fluidly connected to the swirl chamber, a plunger movably positioned within the main jet for adjusting fluid flow through the main jet, and at least one swirl inlet fluidly connected to the swirl chamber for generating a fluid swirl effect within the swirl chamber. The main jet is preferably aligned with the first orifice for dispersing a relatively narrow spray pattern from the first orifice when the fluid flow is increased through the main jet. The spray pattern is broadened when the fluid flow through the main jet is decreased.
