The invention provides a heat exchanger assembly having a housing which defines a boiling chamber extending along an axis between opposite ends. A plurality of first condensing tubes extend axially and downwardly in one direction at a first predetermined angle to and below the axis (A) from the housing and a plurality of second condensing tubes extend axially and upwardly in the opposite direction at the same predetermined angle to and above the axis (A) from the housing. The volume of refrigerant in the housing is greater than the volume of the second condensing tubes and the volume of the boiling chamber.

What is claimed is: 1. A heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electronic device comprising; a housing defining a boiling chamber extending along an axis between opposite ends for containing a refrigerant to undergo a liquid-to-vapor-to-condensate cycle, a plurality of first condensing tubes extending axially in one direction from said housing at a first predetermined angle from said axis and a plurality of second condensing tubes extending axially in an opposite direction from said housing at a second predetermined angle from said axis for condensing vapor boiled from the refrigerant, and said first condensing tubes extending below said axis and said second condensing tubes extending above said axis; wherein said housing has a top wall and a bottom wall both extending axially and a first end wall and a second end wall both extending from said bottom wall upwardly and outwardly to said top wall; wherein said first condensing tubes extend perpendicular from said first end wall; and wherein said second condensing tubes extend upwardly and outwardly from said top wall of said housing adjacent to said second end wall. 2. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 including a plurality of louvered air fins extending between adjacent ones of said first condensing tubes and extending between adjacent ones of said second condensing tubes for dissipating heat from said first condensing tubes and said second condensing tubes. 3. An assembly as set forth in claim 2 including a first fan assembly supported adjacent said first condensing tubes and a second fan assembly supported adjacent said second condensing tubes for moving air across said louvered fins. 4. An assembly as set forth in claim 3 wherein said first fan assembly includes a first shroud and a first motor and a plurality of first fan blades and said second fan assembly includes a second shroud and a second motor and a plurality of second fan blades. 5. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 including a plurality of boiler heat transfer fins centrally disposed in said boiling portion of said housing for transferring heat from the electronic device to the refrigerant. 6. A heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electronic device comprising; a housing defining a boiling chamber extending along an axis between opposite ends for containing a refrigerant to undergo a liquid-to-vapor-to-condensate cycle, said housing having a top wall and a bottom wall both extending axially and a first end wall and a second end wall both extending from said bottom wall outwardly to said top wall, a plurality of first condensing tubes extending axially in one direction perpendicularly from said first end wall and at a first predetermined angle from said axis and a plurality of second condensing tubes extending axially in an opposite direction from said left side wall of said housing at a second predetermined angle from said axis for condensing vapor boiled from the refrigerant, a plurality of louvered air fins extending between adjacent ones of said first condensing tubes and extending between adjacent ones of said second condensing tubes for dissipating heat from said first condensing tubes and said second condensing tubes, a first fan assembly supported adjacent said first condensing tubes for moving air over said louvered fins, said first fan assembly having a first shroud, a first motor, and a plurality of first fan blades, a second fan assembly supported adjacent said second condensing tubes for moving air over said louvered fins, said second fan assembly having a second shroud, a second motor, and a plurality of second fan blades, a plurality of boiler heat transfer fins centrally disposed in said boiling chamber of said housing for transferring heat from the electronic device to the refrigerant, said first condensing tubes extending below said axis and said second condensing tubes extending above said axis, wherein said first predetermined angle is equal to said second predetermined angle, and wherein a volume of the refrigerant is greater than the volume of said first condensing tubes and the volume of said boiling chamber of said housing.
