  • Patent number: 11778791
    Abstract: A two-phase immersion cooling system for cooling electronics. The electronics are immersed in immersion tank filled with dielectric liquid. As liquid evaporates due to heat generated by the electronics, it enters a vapor passageway that leads the vapor to a condenser situated remotely from the immersion tank. Upon condensing at the condenser, the condensed liquid is directed to a resupply tank, wherein the condensed liquid cools. When the level of the dielectric liquid in the immersion tank drops below a set threshold, a pump is activated to deliver the condensed liquid from the resupply tank to the immersion tank. The immersion tank, vapor passageway and condenser are position inside a containment passageway. The containment passageway captures any vapor not entering the vapor passageway and direct such vapor to the condenser. The resupply tank may also be positioned within the containment passageway.

  • Patent number: 11758684
    Abstract: A method and system improve the cooling of computer power supply unit by eliminating a reverse flow of hot air caused by an imbalance in airflow between a power supply fan and a system fan. The method determines a correlation between a system fan speed and a heightened power supply fan speed that prevents the reverse flow of hot air into the power supply unit. During the operation of the power supply unit, the system fan speed is obtained and the heightened power supply fan speed is determined from the correlation. The power supply fan is then controlled using the heightened power supply fan speed setting.

  • Patent number: 11737239
    Abstract: Conditioning systems and methods for providing cooling to a heat load can include an evaporative cooler arranged in a scavenger plenum with a recovery coil downstream of the evaporative cooler. The conditioning systems can operate in various modes, including an adiabatic mode and an evaporative mode, depending on outdoor air conditions. The systems can operate in a blended mode between the adiabatic mode and the evaporative mode by varying the distribution of return water from the recovery coil into at least partially isolated sections of a storage tank, and selectively directing cold water from the evaporative cooler into the tank. The mix of warm and cold water exiting the tank can be varied to maintain the cold-water supply at or near a set point temperature for the heat load. In an example, the systems can include a pre-cooler in the plenum upstream of the evaporative cooler for pre-conditioning the scavenger air.
