A thermosyphon system employs a flat evaporator which is matched to its function of cooling vertically oriented electronic circuit modules. The evaporator is connected in a thermosyphon system which facilitates air cooling and the closer spacing of electronic components whose immediate volume region is not occupied by cooling system components. The evaporator is configured to provide a uniform flow of fluid returned to it to avoid module hot spots.

[ The invention claimed is:] [1.] An evaporator plate for use in a thermosyphon cooling system, said plate comprising:a substantially flat, sealable housing having an inlet port disposed on a lower portion thereof and an outlet port disposed on an upper portion thereof; and also including a thermally conductive outer surface for thermal contact with a body to be cooled;a first internal conduit extending substantially upwardly from said inlet port;a second internal conduit extending substantially downwardly from said outlet port;a plurality of substantially horizontally oriented evaporation chambers having connections so that said chambers are connected to said internal conduits in flow communication between said first conduit on one side of said evaporator plate and said second conduit on the opposite of said evaporator plate and wherein said connections to said conduits are such that the connection to said first conduit is below the connection to said second conduit.
