Two-Phase Cooling
This cooling method utilises the process of evaporating a liquid fluid (typically a refrigerant) into a vapor to remove heat from electronic components. The process involves pumping a refrigerant into a heat exchanger or cold plate that is located directly on the chip. Because there is phase change to the fluid, it is more efficient than keeping the fluid in a same state. This is called latent heat exchange.
