Publication number: 20240100496Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a riser may be operated by a method including repeatedly heating and cooling a riser between an operational temperature and a non-operational temperature. When the riser is heated from a non-operational temperature to an operational temperature, the riser undergoes thermal expansion. When the riser is cooled from an operational temperature to a non-operational temperature, the riser undergoes thermal contraction. The riser undergoes irreversible growth over repeated heating and cooling cycles, and the length of a lower section of an upper riser portion is sized to accommodate the irreversible growth from cycled thermal expansion of the riser.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Matthew T. Pretz, Donald F. Shaw, Richard Edwards Walter, Fermin Alejandro Sandoval, Albert Meza

Patent number: 11812587Abstract: The description relates to cooling electronic components, such as computing devices. One example includes a rack defining a volume and multiple sealed chassis modules removably fluidly coupled to a two-phase condenser tank via a vapor coupler and a liquid coupler. Individual sealed chassis modules can contain one or more electronic components immersed in two-phase coolant that when heated by operation of the electronic components experiences a phase change from a liquid phase to a gas phase and travels to the two-phase condenser tank via the vapor coupler and is cooled in the two-phase condenser tank until experiencing a phase change back into the liquid phase. Individual sealed chassis modules can be decoupled from the two-phase condenser tank without releasing two-phase coolant and an entirety of the multiple sealed chassis modules and the condenser tank are contained in the volume of the rack.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Douglas Patrick Kelley, Alexis Grace Schubert, Craig Steven Ranta, Kathryn Oseen-Senda, Dennis Trieu, Mark Edward Shaw
