Abstract (en)

A heat transfer structure comprising a plurality of heat pipes, and a cooling chamber. Respective evaporator sections of each one of the heat pipes are configured to be thermally coupled to a respective heat source. Each heat pipe is configured to transfer heat from the respective evaporator section, to the cooling chamber, through its respective condenser section. A fluid is made to move into the cooling chamber through a fluid conduit which is then moved out of the cooling chamber to thereby transfer heat from the cooling chamber to a surrounding medium. In some embodiments, the heat transfer structure has a fluid mover to force the fluid cooling chamber move in and out of the cooling chamber. In some embodiments, the fluid mover is located inside the cooling chamber.
