14 Advanced Cooling Technologies I: Single-Phase Liquid Cooling

In the cooling of electronic equipment, liquid cooling is frequently applied to high—heat dissipation electronic equipment. The reason is that the liquid has better heat transfer properties than that of the gas. Liquid cooling can further be divided into single- and two-phase systems. The latter involves change-of-phase processes such as boiling or condensation. Selection of a coolant for a liquid cooling system becomes a very important design consideration.
