  • Patent number: 11009926
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for system level modeling of two-phase cooling systems. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises determining, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, respective sets of steady state values for parameters at inlet-outlet junctions using a system model, wherein the determining is based on first user input specifying a cooling system design comprising a plurality of part objects, wherein adjacent part objects in a flow direction are connected at the inlet-outlet junctions. The computer-implemented method can also comprise generating, by the system, a graphical display that depicts the respective sets of parameter values at the inlet-outlet junctions.

  • Patent number: 10701832
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate two-phase liquid cooling electronics are provided. In one example, a server system comprises a two-phase cooling system and an air moving system. The two-phase cooling system reduces a first temperature of a first electronic component in the server system using a pump that circulates a coolant refrigerant through a two-phase refrigerant loop associated with the first electronic component, where first electronic component satisfies a first defined criterion. The air moving system reduces a second temperature of a second electronic component in the server system using one or more fans associated with the second electronic component, where the second electronic component satisfies a second defined criterion.
