ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, a system for cooling computing components includes a computing rack housing a plurality of computing components of a computing system. A heat absorbing plate is disposed in and removable from the computing rack. The heat absorbing plate is thermally coupled to an outer surface of a computing component and comprises a plurality of walls defining a cavity containing a two-phase coolant. The cavity has a continuous volume allowing the two-phase coolant to absorb heat from the computing component and to transfer the heat to a heat transfer mechanism. The computing rack has a sidewall that is thermally coupled to the heat absorbing plate and comprises the heat transfer mechanism, which is operable to receive the heat transferred from the heat absorbing plate.
