An electronic apparatus comprising a housing having a plurality of
electronic components and two or more separate heat transfer systems each
thermally communicating with different one or more of said electronic
components is characterized by at least one central heat transfer bus
communicating with the two or more heat transfer systems, one or more
switching or modulating connections between the heat transfer bus and one
or more of the heat transfer systems, and one or more activating
components for switching or modulating the one or more connections in
response to monitored thermal load or temperature of the electronic
components and/or heat transfer bus. Heat transfer between said heat
transfer bus and one or more of the heat transfer systems is modulated or
switched on or off by the activating components.
