Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012166086A1] A thermal transfer device having a reduced vertical profile. The device includes a condenser with substantially vertical internal cooling fins. An inlet conducts a thermal transfer fluid in a vapor state to the tops of the cooling fins where the vapor condenses and flows down the fins to the bottom of the condenser. The bottom of the condenser is angled towards an outlet for conducting the liquid thermal transfer fluid to a reservoir for holding the fluid. The inlet and the outlet are both positioned at a height above the level of the thermal transfer fluid in liquid state in the reservoir. The device may also include fins on the exterior of the condenser for providing cooling surfaces which do not contact the thermal transfer fluid in either the liquid or vapor states.
