Abstract
Abstract A boiling refrigerant-type cooling system for cooling an electric apparatus includes a refrigerant containing chamber in which the electric apparatus is disposed, a condensing chamber, and a vapor reservoir all in flow communication with each other. A cooling chamber open to the atmosphere adjoins the condensing chamber. A laminated partition separates the cooling chamber from the condensing chamber. The electric apparatus is electrically connected through a sealed opening in the refrigerant containing chamber.
