  • Patent number: 11848129
    Abstract: Described herein are DC-DC converters having various immersion-cooling features enabling high-power applications, such as cross-charging electric vehicles. For example, the inductor of a DC-DC converter may be formed using metal and insulator sheets stacked and wound into an inductor coil assembly. The metal sheet comprises grooves, extending parallel to the coil axis and forming coil fluid pathways through this assembly thereby providing immersion cooling to the inductor. An inductor-cooling liquid may be pumped through these fluid pathways while being in direct contact with the metal sheet, at least around the grooves. In some examples, these grooves are distributed along the entire length of the metal sheet. Multiple inductors may be used to enable operations of multiple converter units, e.g., operating out of phase. These inductors may be fluidically interconnectors and have the same cooling features.

  • Patent number: 11800691
    Abstract: The description relates to passive two-phase immersion cooling of computers, such as servers. One example can include multiple liquid immersion tanks configured to contain servers immersed in a liquid-phase of a coolant having a boiling point below a maximum operating temperature of the servers such that operation of the servers generates heat that is transferred to the liquid phase of the coolant and causes a portion of the coolant to boil to a gas phase of the coolant. The example can include a single phase separator tank and a single heat exchanger coupled to the multiple liquid immersion tanks as a sealed cooling system and configured to receive the gas phase of the coolant and configured to transition the gas phase of the coolant back to the liquid phase of the coolant and to automatically deliver liquid phase of the coolant to an individual liquid immersion tank responsive to further boiling producing additional gas phase of the coolant that evacuates the individual liquid immersion tank.
