ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger is disclosed for dissipating heat from a heat generating component. The heat exchanger comprises a thermally conductive base in thermal communication with the component, a plurality of thermally conductive plate fins affixed to the base wherein the plate fins define a fin field and channels, and fluid control means for controlling the fluid flow within the fin field. In one embodiment, the fluid control means utilizes the low pressure created by flow bypass to vent relatively high pressure fluid within the fin field. Alternatively or in conjunction, the fluid control means substantially prevents premature egress of fluid from the top of the fin field caused by the high pressure region within the fin field.
