Patent attributes
A heat sink with a primary flow volume, an inlet, an outlet, a bottom plate, a top plate, distribution, heat transfer and collector sections, and flow paths between pillars. The inlet cross-section defines the primary flow volume cross-section and the length of the primary flow volume extends into the heat sink at a right angle to the inlet cross-section. The distribution section is proximate to the flow inlet and has distribution pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The heat transfer section is proximate to the distribution section and has heat transfer pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The collector section is proximate to the heat transfer section and has collector pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The distribution cross-section is greater than the heat transfer cross-section which is smaller than the collector cross-section. The flow paths extend outside of the primary flow volume.
