  • Patent number: 12289862
    Abstract: A single-phase immersion cooling system includes an immersion cooling tank having a component area, which is separate from a main chamber and is configured to receive a heat-generating electronic device. A coolant circulates along a flow path, in a chamber path through the main chamber and a component path through the component area. A rotating propeller is mounted within the immersion cooling tank, causing a driven flow path in the component area. The driven flow path is configured to cause contact between the coolant in the driven flow path and the heat-generating electronic device when the heat-generating electronic device is received within the component area. The coolant in the driven flow path circulates at a faster speed than the coolant in the chamber path.

  • Patent number: 12267982
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated data center that provides for efficient cooling as well as efficient wire routing. The data center houses electronic equipment stored in clusters of cabinets. The space inside the data center is shared, such as on a leased basis, between multiple different entities who operate their own electronic equipment. To achieve privacy, security, and cooling air flow, one or more layers of a security paneling surround one or more clusters of cabinets to create a secure interior space. This allows access to only authorized personal, prevents people from viewing into the secure interior space, and allows cooling air flow to pass into the secure interior space to cool the electronic equipment. The security paneling comprises sheets of metal with small apertures. Two or more security panels may be arranged with offset apertures to further prevent viewing of the electronic equipment in the secure interior space.
