An apparatus for cooling single and multiple high-flux and ultra-high-flux heat
dissipating devices, comprising a liquid coolant module having a base plate and
a cover plate defining therebetween a liquid coolant chamber with a liquid coolant
inlet port and a liquid coolant outlet port in fluid communication with the liquid
coolant chamber; at least one heat dissipating device mounted to the liquid coolant
module; a multi-level-cooling-enhancement stud mounted upon each heat dissipating
device and disposed within the liquid coolant module; and apparatus for inducing
phase change nucleate boiling of a subcooled liquid coolant within the liquid coolant
module to enhance its cooling performance.
