ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger system for use in a hinged computing device is provided. The hinged computing device includes a base housing connected to a display housing by one or more hinges. A number of heat generating electronic components are located within the base housing, and a display screen is positioned in the display housing. The heat exchanger system includes a heat pipe located in the base and thermally coupled to both an electronic component and the hinge to allow heat transfer from the electronic component to the hinge. A flat plate heat pipe located in the display housing is mechanically and thermally coupled to the hinge to allow heat transfer from the hinge to the flat plate heat pipe for dissipation through the display housing.
