Publication number: 20210216117Abstract: A computing system includes a housing, processing circuitry, one or more additional components, and a cryogen evaporator plate. The housing includes a cryogen input port, a cryogen output port, and an interior chamber. The processing circuitry and the one or more additional components are in the interior chamber of the housing. The cryogen evaporator plate is thermally coupled to the processing circuitry and configured to receive a cryogen via the cryogen input port, cool the processing circuitry using the cryogen such that the cryogen is evaporated during the cooling of the processing circuitry to provide evaporated cryogen, and provide the evaporated cryogen into the interior chamber of the housing such that the evaporated cryogen is distributed over the one or more additional components to cool the one or more additional components.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2020Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Husam A.

Patent number: 10750637Abstract: A removable immersion cooling infrastructure module can have a form factor equivalent to that of one or more of the computing devices being cooled by immersion cooling, thereby enabling the immersion cooling infrastructure module to be installed and removed in the same simplified and efficient manner. Moreover, the quantity of immersion cooling infrastructure modules can be varied depending on need, since the immersion cooling infrastructure modules and computing devices can be interchangeable within the openings designed to house the computing devices. An immersion cooling infrastructure module can comprise a filter, a pump that can circulate the immersion cooling liquid through the filter, a power supply and a controller, with the module receiving power, and, optionally, communications and other like connectivity, from the same source as the computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Husam Alissa, Nicholas Andrew Keehn
