  • Patent number: 11102912
    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. Using a pressure controlled vessel and pressure controller, the disclosed system may be operated at less than ambient pressure. By controlling the pressure at which the system operates, the user may influence the temperature at which the dielectric fluid vaporizes and thereby achieve increased performance from a given computer component. Utilizing robotic arms and slot-in computing components, a self-healing computing system may be created.

  • Patent number: 11071231
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus has a heat-exchanger within a housing exchanges heat between internal and external fluids without direct contact between the fluids. The internal fluid circulates within the housing and the external fluid is received external from the housing and output external from the housing 120. The housing includes is a heater; impellers; a controller for controlling the heater and the flow of fluids through the heat-exchanger; and temperature and humidity sensors. The controller receives temperature and humidity data from the sensors; processes the data to indicate a current dew point within the housing; and compares the current dew point with a current location temperature at or adjacent the heat-exchanger. If the current location temperature is at or below the current dew point, the controller raises the temperature at at least one location on the heat-exchanger and/or activates the heat source to raise the temperature.

  • Patent number: 11064634
    Abstract: The present application pertains to testing methods and apparatus useful in two-phase liquid immersion cooling systems. Such 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 two phase liquid immersion cooling so actual servers are not required to test various aspects of the two phase liquid immersion cooling units.
