Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device is immersed into a cooling medium in its liquid phase disposed in a vessel. The cooling medium changes to its vapor phase due to heat from the semiconductor device to enter a condenser located above the vessel. The cooling medium condensed in the condenser passes through a conduit connected to the lower portion of the vessel to be directly mixed with the liquid cooling medium within the vessel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A cooling device for cooling a heat generating semiconductor device comprising a vessel, an amount of a cooling medium disposed in said vessel, said cooling medium having a liquid phase and a vapor phase and effecting a phase transition therebetween to cool a heat generating member, condenser means operatively connected to said vessel to condense said cooling medium from its vapor phase into its liquid phase and including a pair of spaced opposed headers having a substantial vertical dimension in the vertical cross-section thereof, a plurality of cooling tubes connected in parallel between said headers, one of said headers being an inlet header and being connected to said vessel to receive vapor therefrom and having a space therein at a level higher than the openings into said cooling tubes for collection of any gas entrained in said device, and conduit means connecting the other header to said vessel below the liquid level of the cooling medium in said vessel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A cooling device for cooling a heat generating semiconductor device comprising a vessel, an amount of a cooling medium disposed in said vessel, said cooling medium having a liquid phase and a vapor phase and effecting a phase transition therebetween to cool a heat generating member, condenser means operatively connected to said vessel to condense said cooling medium from its vapor phase into its liquid phase and including a pair of spaced opposed headers having a substantial vertical dimension in the vertical cross-section thereof, a plurality of cooling tubes connected in parallel between said headers, one of said headers being an inlet header and being connected to said vessel to receive vapor therefrom and having a space therein at a level higher than the openings into said cooling tubes for collection of any gas entrained in said device, and conduit means connecting the other header to said vessel below the liquid level of the cooling medium in said vessel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cooling device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said plurality of cooling tubes is inclined downwardly from said inlet header to said other header.
