  • Patent number: 8432691
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system for an electronic system includes a plurality of cooling modules that are adapted to circulate a liquid coolant therethrough. Each cooling module is configured to be coupled to a circuit board of the electronic system and placed in thermal contact with one of a plurality of heat-generating electronic components on the circuit board. The cooling system also includes a plurality of heat exchangers that are configured to dissipate heat from the liquid coolant to air. Each heat exchanger of the plurality of heat exchangers is fluidly coupled between two cooling modules of the plurality of cooling modules in a flow path of the liquid. The cooling system also includes a plurality of conduits that fluidly couple the plurality of cooling modules to the plurality of heat exchangers.

  • Patent number: 8358505
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system includes a monolith that is configured to be coupled to a motherboard of the computer. The monolith may be monolithic planar body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, and may include a heat absorption region and a heat dissipation region. The heat absorption region may be at least one location on the monolith that is configured to be in thermal contact with a heat generating component of the motherboard, and the heat dissipation region may be at least one location on the monolith where a liquid-to-air heat exchanger is attached to the monolith. The liquid cooling system may also include a channel extending on the second surface of the monolith and a pump that is configured to circulate the liquid coolant through the channel. The channel may be a trench on the second surface of the monolith that is configured to circulate a liquid coolant between the heat absorption region and the heat dissipation region.
