MEMS-BASED COOLING SYSTEMS FOR CLOSED AND OPEN DEVICES

摘要

A system including an active cooling system is described. The active cooling system includes a cooling element in communication with a fluid and configured to use vibrational motion to direct a fluid toward a surface of heat-generating structure(s). Heat is transferred from the heat-generating structure to the fluid. The system is configured such that the fluid follows a path from the surface of the heat-generating structure(s) past a structure having a lower temperature than the surface of the heat-generating structure. The structure absorbs heat from the fluid. The structure is within the system and distal from the active cooling system.
