Patent number: 10327358Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for fluid connections in modular cooling systems for cooling electronic components installed in equipment racks. A cold plate is positioned adjacent to a support manifold in a mated position, where the cold plate comprises a plate connector. The plate connector comprises a plate outer sleeve and defines a central passageway. The support manifold comprises a manifold connector, which comprises a manifold outer sleeve and defines a central passageway. An outer surface of the manifold outer sleeve is positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the plate outer sleeve. A cam is rotated about a pivot pin and engages with a plate retainer to secure the cold plate against the support manifold, and the central passageway of the plate connector is connected in fluid communication with the central passageway of the manifold connector.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Laurence A.
