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

Patent number: 11800691Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kathryn Oseen-Senda, Douglas P. Kelley, Alexis Grace Schubert

Patent number: 9302215Abstract: Rotary fluid processing systems and associated methods are disclosed. A purification system in accordance with the particular embodiment includes a rotatable adsorbent-containing heat/mass transfer element that is generally symmetric about a rotation axis, and includes multiple radial flow paths oriented transverse to the rotation axis and multiple axial flow paths oriented transverse to the radial flow paths. The axial flow paths and radial flow paths are in thermal communication with each other, and are generally isolated from fluid communication with each other at the heat transfer element. Particular embodiments can further include a housing arrangement having multiple manifolds with individual manifolds having an entry port and an exit port, and with individual manifolds having different circumferential locations relative to the rotation axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Prometheus Technologies, LLCInventors: John A. Barclay, Tadeusz Szymanski, Lenard J. Stoltman, Kathryn Oseen-Senda, Hunter A. Chumbley

Publication number: 20140165650Abstract: A shell and tube heat exchanger and distillation column arrangement for an air separation plant utilizing such heat exchanger in which tubes for passage of a liquid that is used in condensing a vapor are located within a cylindrical shell. The tubes are arranged in an inner array of tubes and an outer array of tubes surrounding the inner array of tubes and having more tubes than the inner array. The inner array of tubes present a larger average area, between tubes, for flow of the vapor in an outward, radial direction than tubes of the outer array to lessen pressure drop while allowing for more tubes to be located within the shell to increase the surface area available for heat exchange between the liquid and the vapor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2012Publication date: June 19, 2014Inventors: Richard John Jibb, Kathryn Oseen-Senda, Sang Muk Kwark, Karl K.
