  • Patent number: 11224144
    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.

  • Patent number: 11224142
    Abstract: A cooling fan module includes a fan unit and an air flow blocking unit. The air flow blocking unit includes a left-side plate, a left-side support pole, a left-side air flow blocking plate, a right-side plate, a right-side support pole, a right-side air flow blocking plate, and a stop member. The left-side air flow blocking plate and the right-side air flow blocking plate are blown by an air flow flowing from outside environment into a case through the fan unit that is in a malfunction state, thereby rotating by respectively taking the left-side support pole and the left-side support pole as a rotary center thereof. Consequently, the left-side air flow blocking plate and the right-side air flow blocking plate are stopped rotating by the stop member, such that the air flow is blocked, by the two air flow blocking plates, from being entering the case.
