  • Publication number: 20210400813
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an apparatus that includes a flexible conductor covered in an insulative material and at least one conductor region in contact with the flexible conductor. In some examples, melting of the at least one conductor region is to cause a conductive coupling of the flexible conductor with a second conductor and wherein the flexible conductor is adapted to conductively couple a first circuit board oriented orthogonal to a second circuit board. In some examples, the at least one conductor region comprises at least one solder ball of a grid array. In some examples, the at least one conductor region is re-solderable.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a system. The system can include a container that contains fluid to provide two phase immersion liquid cooling (2PILC) for a system within the container. The container can enclose a first circuit board with a first side of the first circuit board is conductively coupled to at least one device. The container can enclose a motherboard conductively coupled to a second side of the first circuit board with a first side of the motherboard is conductively coupled to the second side of the first circuit board. The motherboard can include at least four edges. Connectors can conductively connect the motherboard with a second circuit board. The second circuit board can include at least four edges and an edge of the motherboard is oriented approximately 90 degrees to an edge of the second circuit board. At least one device can include one or more of: a processor, memory device, accelerator device, or network interface.

  • Patent number: 11184997
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include apparatuses, systems and/or processes to encapsulate a circuit board to be cooled with a liquid coolant, that includes a first part dimensioned to receive the circuit board coupled with one or more heat sinks; a second part dimensioned to mate with the first part, and with a portion of a side of the circuit board around the one or more heat sinks to create a volume surrounding the circuit board, with a portion of the one or more heat sinks are outside the volume and is to be exposed to the liquid coolant, and a sealer to seal areas where the second part mates with the first part and the portion of the side of the circuit board, to prevent the liquid coolant from entering the volume. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20210120663
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a heating element and a layer of material that is physically integrated with a surface of the PCB. The layer of material is to apply an expansive or contractive force to a surface of the PCB in response to being warmed by heat generated by the heating element. The expansive or contractive force is to cause the first surface to expand with a first coefficient of thermal expansion that is closer to a second coefficient of thermal expansion of an opposite surface of the PCB than the surface's coefficient of thermal expansion without the expansive or contractive force.

  • Publication number: 20180059744
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to liquid cooling interfaces for field replaceable electronic components. An apparatus for cooling a computer device may include a cooling component coupled with an existing cooling system and a connector coupled with the cooling component, where the connector may be structured to removably couple the liquid cooling block to a heat conductor of a field replaceable electronic component when the field replaceable electronic component is inserted into a computer device. In some embodiments, the connector may be a clamp structured to receive the heat conductor during insertion of the field replaceable electronic component along a plane, and to provide a clamping force orthogonal to the plane. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20180058777
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods associated with heat exchanger puck design are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a heat exchanger puck may include a first plate with a cavity that extends into the first plate from a side of the first plate and a second plate. The second plate may be coupled to the side of the first plate, with the cavity located between the first plate and the second plate. The heat exchanger puck may further include a tube of a liquid coolant system located, at least partially, within the cavity, the tube formed to fit the cavity created by the first plate and the second plate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9721871
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems associated with a heat exchanger for cooling an IC package are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a heat exchanger may include a base plate having a bottom side to be thermally coupled to the IC package, and a fin side, wherein the fin side is to include a plurality of fins to dissipate thermal energy emanated from the IC package. The heat exchanger may further include a manifold structure disposed on top of the base plate, having one or more layers, to regulate a coolant fluid flow to cool the plurality of fins, wherein the one or more layers are to include a plurality of channels and ports complementarily organized to distribute the coolant fluid flow to the plurality of fins tailored to a thermal energy emanation pattern of the integrated circuit package. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
