Patent number: 9713285Abstract: According to an example, a cooling system includes a cooling fluid reservoir, a cooling apparatus in fluid communication with the cooling fluid reservoir, a chamber having a side in thermal contact with a portion of the heat generating component, in which cooling fluid delivered by the cooling apparatus is to be heated through receipt of heat from the heat generating component, a cooling plate positioned at a distance and separated from the chamber, and a cooling fluid tube connecting the chamber and the cooling plate, in which the heated cooling fluid is to flow through the cooling fluid tube to the cooling plate. The cooling plate is also to be in thermal contact with a heat exchanger that that is to remove heat from the cooling fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Tahir Cader, Niru Kumari, John Franz, Cullen E.

Publication number: 20130060471Abstract: Real-time monitoring of an energy characteristic of a building such as an energy performance of the building or a carbon offset of the building is performed by first computing a heat transfer coefficient of the building from nighttime steady-state thermal load data of the building and from nighttime steady-state indoor and outdoor temperature data of the building. A thermal inertia of the building is then computed from nighttime transient indoor temperature data of the building and nighttime transient thermal load data of the building. During daytime, a solar radiation gain coefficient is computed from daytime thermal load data, daytime indoor and outdoor temperature data, incident solar radiation data, and the heat transfer coefficient. The energy characteristic of the building is then estimated in real time from the heat transfer coefficient, the thermal inertia, and the solar radiation gain coefficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Inventors: Mark A. Aschheim, Jorge E. Gonzales Cruz, Edwin P. Maurer, Sergio Escobar-Vargas
