  • Patent number: 11903163
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to methods of employing a computer comprising a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan in an immersion cooling process. The present disclosure also refers to devices therefore. Such methods and devices employ a direct conversion or a probabilistic approach to emulate the operation of a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan. The aforementioned methods and devices may be particularly useful for fans having a fan speed of 25,000 rpm or higher.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11785747
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to methods and electronics used to test immersion cooling controllers. A representative method comprises operably connecting a simulator device to an immersion cooling controller. The simulator device is used to communicate one or more changes to the immersion cooling controller wherein the one or more changes relate to one or more sensed parameters of an immersion cooling system. The reaction of the controller to the one or more changes is compared to an expected reaction of the controller to determine whether the controller is functioning properly. The controller may be configured to control any parameter of an immersion cooling system including, but not limited to, temperature, water flow, pressure, fluid level, fluid purity, and any combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230180439
    Abstract: An immersion cooling system and methods for operating the system are described. The system can comprise a vessel configured to hold thermally conductive, condensable dielectric fluid; a pressure controller to reduce or increase an interior pressure of the vessel; a computer component configured to be at least partially submerged within the dielectric fluid; and a fluid circulation system configured to draw the dielectric fluid from a sump area of the vessel, pass the dielectric fluid through a filter and deliver the dielectric fluid to a bath area of the vessel.

  • Patent number: 11486845
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a filter in, for example, an immersion cooled system are described. In one embodiment the application pertains to a process comprising employing a filter media to filter fluid wherein one or more electrical properties change depending upon pH of the filter fluid. The one or more electrical properties may be measured to monitor the filter. If desired, the filter media's electrical properties may be modified based on the configuration of the filter to facilitate the measurements.
