Patent number: 11805624Abstract: Various aspects include devices, systems, and methods for cooling a heatsink of electronic equipment immersed in an immersion coolant tank with a coolant shroud. The coolant shroud includes side walls and a covering wall. The side walls mounted on a mounting surface within the immersion coolant tank and on which the heatsink is secured and at least one of the side walls includes a fluid port. The covering wall extends from and between the side walls, wherein the side walls and the covering wall together form a cooling chamber that receives the heatsink. The covering wall includes a fluid aperture separate from the fluid port, wherein dielectric fluid inside the cooling chamber is in fluid communication with dielectric fluid outside the cooling chamber via the fluid aperture. The fluid port is in fluid communication with a dielectric fluid pump disposed outside the cooling chamber.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Green Revolution Cooling, Inc.Inventors: John Bean, Jr., Jerry Mayfield, Clay Baker, Derek Gordon

Patent number: 10624242Abstract: A computing system includes one or more rack rows comprising one or more racks. The racks includes one or more tanks that hold liquid coolant for at least one of the one or more servers, and a liquid coolant to remove heat from at least one of the one or more servers. An aisle is provided next to a rack row or between two of the rack rows. The aisle includes a floor. The floor can be walked on by service personnel to access at least one of the one or more racks in at least one of the rows. Cooling components at least partially below the aisle move a liquid to remove heat from at least one of the servers in at least one of the racks. The racks, floor and cooling components may be fire-resistant.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Green Revolution Cooling, Inc.Inventor: Christiaan Scott Best

Publication number: 20140211412Abstract: Hard disk drives and computing systems to which they are connected are cooled by submerging the computing systems into a dielectric liquid coolant in a tank and by thermally coupling the hard disk drives to a heat conductive extension that is partly submerged into the coolant and partly out of the coolant. To keep the hard disks drives out of the coolant, they are mounted to the part of the heat conductive extension that is out of the coolant. In such a configuration, the hard disk drives are cooled through conduction of the heat from the hard disk drive to the coolant via the heat conductive extension. A pump may be used to move warmer coolant from the tank into a heat exchanger where the coolant is cooled and to move the cooled coolant back into the tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2012Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Green Revolution Cooling, Inc.Inventor: Christiaan Scott Best
