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.

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.
