  • Patent number: 11812587
    Abstract: The description relates to cooling electronic components, such as computing devices. One example includes a rack defining a volume and multiple sealed chassis modules removably fluidly coupled to a two-phase condenser tank via a vapor coupler and a liquid coupler. Individual sealed chassis modules can contain one or more electronic components immersed in two-phase coolant that when heated by operation of the electronic components experiences a phase change from a liquid phase to a gas phase and travels to the two-phase condenser tank via the vapor coupler and is cooled in the two-phase condenser tank until experiencing a phase change back into the liquid phase. Individual sealed chassis modules can be decoupled from the two-phase condenser tank without releasing two-phase coolant and an entirety of the multiple sealed chassis modules and the condenser tank are contained in the volume of the rack.

  • Publication number: 20230189478
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a body with an expansion chamber therein. The body is configured to receive heat from a heat source. The expansion chamber is configured to expand a working fluid from an inlet port to an outlet port of the heat sink. An immersion system includes a heat sink and a pressurizing mechanism for pressurizing the working fluid prior to the inlet port.

  • Publication number: 20230156960
    Abstract: A method of thermal management of a computing device includes immersing a first electronic component of the computing device in a first working fluid contained in a first volume, immersing a second electronic component of the computing device in a second working fluid contained in a second volume, and changing a pressure in the first volume to alter a boiling temperature of the first working fluid in the first volume.

  • Publication number: 20220408587
    Abstract: An immersion cooling thermal management system includes a heat duct thermally coupled to a heat-generating electronic component. The heat duct has an inlet at a first longitudinal end of a channel and an outlet at an opposite second longitudinal end of the channel. The heat-generating electronic component is thermally coupled with the channel longitudinally between the inlet and the outlet. The outlet of the channel is higher than the inlet relative to a direction of gravity.

  • Publication number: 20220354025
    Abstract: A pump tray has a liquid pump with an inlet and outlet. A blindly matable liquid coupler fluidicly couples with the pump inlet and a blindly matable liquid coupler fluidicly couples with the pump outlet. A chassis of the pump tray has an alignment member configured to removably engage with another device and to restrict, to a limited number of degrees-of-freedom, movement of the chassis relative to the other device (e.g., a liquid pumping unit). The blindly matable liquid couplers are so physically coupled with the chassis as to inhibit movement of them relative to the chassis. A liquid pumping unit also has a chassis defining a bay configured to receive a pump tray, a liquid inlet coupler and a liquid outlet coupler, and a reservoir fluidicly coupled with the liquid inlet coupler. A blindly-matable liquid coupler fluidicly couples with the reservoir outlet and a blindly-matable liquid coupler fluidicly couples with the liquid outlet coupler.
