Patent attributes
A hybrid thermal management system for providing simultaneous spray cooling and dry cooling for a plurality of cards. The hybrid thermal management system includes a chassis having a global spray chamber, a hybrid chamber, a first opening within a rear portion of the chassis extending into the global spray chamber, a second opening within the rear portion of the chassis extending into the hybrid chamber, and a backplane secured and sealed to the rear portion of the chassis. A dry chamber may be attached to the chassis for air cooling electrical components. The cards within the global spray chamber are typically high heat flux components with increased cooling requirements and the cards in the hybrid chamber are comprised of dry/air cooling and zone cooling components.
