  • Publication number: 20240384936
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a heat exchanger having one or more rows of multiple flat tubes, louvered fins disposed between pairs of flat tubes, and special header tube connections to form a counter flow heat exchanger. Heat exchangers having multiple rows may be placed near or close to the server racks and may be in fluid communication with an outdoor heat exchanger having one or more rows. A single-phase fluid is pumped through a fluid circuit or loop, which includes the heat exchangers at the server racks and the outdoor heat exchanger. The single-phase fluid circuit including the heat exchangers at the IT racks may alternatively be in thermal communication with a water circuit that includes an outdoor fluid cooler. The flat tubes can be formed tubes with one or more channels, or extruded tubes with multiple channels. The heat exchangers include header tubes/connections, which facilitate easy fabrication and connection between rows and inlet/outlet, and lower the pressure drop.

  • Publication number: 20240381588
    Abstract: Modular air cooling and distribution systems include a fan and heat exchanger cooling assembly and a controller which controls the fan speed based on temperature and velocity measurements. The cooling assembly includes a fluid-to-air heat exchanger and a variable speed fan. The fluid in the fluid-to-air heat exchanger may be propylene glycol or water. The heat exchanger minimizes pressure drop and maximizes heat transfer. The quantity of cooling assemblies is selected to match the indoor cooling requirements. The cooling assemblies are easily assembled together, stacked vertically, and/or connected horizontally, to match the cooling load. If additional cooling capacity is needed in the future, more cooling assemblies can easily be added, and the cooling assemblies may be expanded vertically and/or horizontally. The speed of the fans of the fan and heat exchanger assemblies are controlled based on fluid temperature and fluid velocity measurements, which may be obtained by an anemometer.

  • Publication number: 20240306512
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-layer flexible array interconnect for an ultrasound transducer, and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The systems and methods described herein provide consistent and controllable alignment between the odd and even flex layers. Further, ground layers are added between the signal layers to improve crosstalk performance while simplifying the construction. In some implementations, vias are introduced at the interface of an electromechanical-array element (e.g., lead zirconate titanate (PZT) element) to increase the surface area of conductive material and thereby increase the quality of the electrical and physical connections. In addition, a machining alignment and verification aid is provided through strategic use of unused and discarded board area to enable (i) alignment check of the flex circuit with the machining equipment and (ii) adjustment of the flex circuit position relative to the machining equipment to avoid the flex circuit being machined to an unusable state.
