Abstract: A system for detecting residue in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on contact resistance. A structure is formed to represent a type of connection between a component and a connector. The structure is positioned near a heat source in the two phase fluid in its liquid state. As the fluid boils, residues are deposited on the structure. An increase in the current resistance across the structure may indicate the presence of a residue or corrosion caused by the residue. Structures may be formed using materials that are similar to existing connections in the information handling system. A heating element may generate more heat than existing components such that the system detects the presence of contaminants with sufficient time to allow less expensive and less intensive corrective measures.

Abstract: A system for detecting contamination in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on current leakage between two combs on a printed circuit board. A first comb is opposite a second comb, wherein each finger of the first comb is positioned between two adjacent fingers on the second comb. The combs are positioned near a heat source in the liquid portion of the fluid. As the fluid boils, contaminants are distilled out of the fluid. Acidic contaminants deposited on either comb may cause metal migration to occur, resulting in bridging between two combs. A current sensor may detect the current leakage and send a signal to allow the information handling system, the fluid, or the cooling system to be serviced before damage occurs to the information handling system.

Abstract: A system for detecting residue in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on changes in the intensity of energy reflected off a reflective surface. An energy source is positioned at an incident angle relative to a reflective surface and an intensity sensor is positioned at a target reflected energy angle relative to the reflective surface, wherein the intensity sensor detects light or other energy reflected off the reflective surface. If residues are deposited on the reflective surface, the reflectivity of the residue will change the reflected energy angle or otherwise change the amount of energy reflected toward the sensor. A heating element may generate more heat than existing components such that the system detects the presence of residues with sufficient time to allow less expensive and less intensive corrective measures.
