Abstract
Supplemental heat mechanisms are employed to ensure that refrigerant in evaporative cold plates for electronic modules not only returns to the compressor in a vapor phase but also further operates to maintain electronic circuit junction temperatures at relatively constant temperature levels. Furthermore, the supplemental heating system responds within a time frame which is faster than other methods which may be employed to achieve the same or similar objectives. In particular, in preferred embodiments of the present invention pressure and temperature measurements of refrigerant exiting the evaporative cold plate are employed to control the turning on of supplemental electrical resistive heating elements to make up for thermal dissipation fluctuations occurring in the electronic module. The supplemental heat may be provided either with a single flat element or through the use of in-line heating elements. The supplemental heating mechanism provides a method for insuring that refrigerant material is returned to the compressor in a vapor state so as to particularly not adversely affect compressor life and/or operating efficiency.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
