Jet impingement Cooling is an attractive mechanism for thermal management because of its capability for high heat transfer rates. This cooling method has been used in many industrial applications such as annealing metals, cooling gas turbine blades, cooling grinding processes and cooling photovoltaic cells. Over the past 30 years, jet impingement has been explored as a cooling option for microelectronics. Liquid jet impingement is being actively explored for cooling power electronics components, in particular the insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) used in the inverters of hybrid automobiles. This ATS Thermal Labs White Paper article discusses single-phase jet impingement and its effectiveness for cooling electronics components.
