Patent number: 11785747Abstract: The present disclosure refers to methods and electronics used to test immersion cooling controllers. A representative method comprises operably connecting a simulator device to an immersion cooling controller. The simulator device is used to communicate one or more changes to the immersion cooling controller wherein the one or more changes relate to one or more sensed parameters of an immersion cooling system. The reaction of the controller to the one or more changes is compared to an expected reaction of the controller to determine whether the controller is functioning properly. The controller may be configured to control any parameter of an immersion cooling system including, but not limited to, temperature, water flow, pressure, fluid level, fluid purity, and any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: TMGCore.

Measurement of dielectric liquid level change in single phase or two-phase immersion cooling systems
Patent number: 11606886Abstract: The instant application pertains to new liquid level monitoring apparatus and a cooling system for computer components that employs the liquid level monitoring apparatus. In one embodiment, the liquid level measurement device comprises a load cell and a buoyancy element. The buoyancy element is configured to be partially submerged in a dielectric liquid. The load cell and the buoyancy element are operably connected such that a change in liquid volume may be determined using Archimedes' principle.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: TMGCore, Inc.Inventors: Taylor Monnig, Edward King, Mazyar Amin, Thomas Turner -
Patent number: 11570935Abstract: The present application pertains to testing methods and apparatus useful in single phase or two-phase liquid immersion cooling systems. Single phase systems use a fluid similar to mineral oil in which to immerse the servers. As the fluid is heated by the operating servers the fluid is circulated to one or more heat exchangers for cooling so the fluid never boils. In contrast, two-phase systems cool heat generating computer components which 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. Using the testing methods and apparatuses herein one may design and test more efficient components and systems. More specifically, the one or more heating elements are both passive and intelligent. They may be used to mimic the power load of a server which is used in the load testing of immersion cooling so actual servers are not required to test various aspects of the liquid immersion cooling units.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: TMGCore, INC.Inventors: John David Enright, Jacob Mertel, Taylor Monnig, William Hadala
