  • Patent number: 12408308
    Abstract: A two-phase liquid immersion cooling system is described in which heat generating computer components cause a dielectric fluid in its liquid phase to vaporize. The dielectric vapor is then condensed back into a liquid phase and used to cool the computer components. Heating elements are used to maintain a minimum temperature of a dielectric immersion fluid within a two phase liquid immersion cooled computing system. The added heat from heating elements may facilitate startup by minimizing the amount of vapor load/pressure when starting up the unit and bringing one or more servers on line.

  • Patent number: 12384419
    Abstract: An interconnected network including a plurality of autonomous vehicles is described. Each autonomous vehicle can include an immersion cooling system. The network can include a central server for determining whether there has been any network disruption. In the event of the network disruption (or when a network disruption is predicted), the central server can deploy at least one vehicle to the area to maintain the network connectivity. Upon receiving the instructions, the vehicle can drive to the area. The central server can use an artificial intelligence algorithm to make the prediction.

  • Patent number: 12035508
    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: 12010820
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to an immersion cooling system and process. Representative embodiments include an interface for interconnecting the inside of the vessel to the outside using an exemplary pass through plates. Additional embodiments include carbon tapes at the opening areas of the vessel. In one example embodiment, a ledge for returning any fluid that is condensed on the top door of the vessel may be provided. Representative features also may include roller covering or overlays, pipes to deliver a spray to clean components, and/or cooling a pump to prevent premature failure. Other embodiments include mechanisms for pump life improvement, gap fillers to reduce fluid needed, and improved vapor management techniques.
