Summary:An apparatus for maintaining a temperature differential between a component and a source of heat is described. The apparatus includes a micro-truss structure having a plurality of nodes and members which define a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is operable for attachment to the component. The apparatus further includes a skin material attached to the first surface of the micro-truss structure such that the skin material is operable for placement between the heat source and the micro-truss structure. The skin material defines at least a portion of a fluid flow path through the micro-truss structure. A skin material is not utilized with certain configurations of the micro-truss structure. L'invention porte sur un appareil pour maintenir un différentiel de température entre un composant et une source de chaleur. L'appareil comprend une structure en micro-treillis ayant une pluralité de nuds et d'éléments qui définissent une première surface et une seconde surface. La seconde surface est utilisable pour une fixation au composant. L'appareil comprend en outre un matériau de revêtement fixé à la première surface de la structure en micro-treillis de telle sorte que le matériau de revêtement est actionnable pour une mise en place entre la source de chaleur et la structure en micro-treillis. Le matériau de revêtement définit au moins une partie d'un trajet d'écoulement de fluide à travers la structure en micro-treillis. Un matériau de revêtement n'est pas utilisé avec certaines configurations de la structure en micro-treillis.
