  • Patent number: 11968802
    Abstract: Heat sink and heat sink arrangements are provided for an electronic device immersed in a liquid coolant. A heat sink may comprise: a base for mounting on top of a heat-transmitting surface of the electronic device and transferring heat from the heat-transmitting surface; and a retaining wall extending from the base and defining a volume. A heat sink may have a wall arrangement to define a volume, in which the electronic device is mounted. A heat sink may be for an electronic device to be mounted on a surface in a container, in an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to a floor of the container. Heat is transferred from the electronic device to liquid coolant held in the heat sink volume. A cooling module comprising a heat sink is also provided. A nozzle arrangement may direct liquid coolant to a base of the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 11963338
    Abstract: A system and a method for cooling a plurality of electronic devices housed in a housing of an electronic module. The system comprises a first cooling circulatory arrangement, configured to circulate a first liquid coolant between a first electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices and a heat exchanger, the first electronic device being thermally coupled to the first liquid coolant such that heat is transferred from the first electronic device to the first liquid coolant. The system further comprises a second cooling circulatory arrangement, configured to circulate a second liquid coolant between a second electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices and the heat exchanger, the second electronic device being thermally coupled to the second liquid coolant such that heat is transferred from the second electronic device to the second liquid coolant.

  • Patent number: 11917796
    Abstract: A module is provided for housing electronic devices and a liquid coolant. The module comprises: a housing defining a sealable internal volume for containing the electronic devices and the liquid coolant, the sealable internal volume having a base; a substrate in the sealable internal volume approximately parallel to the base, one of the electronic devices being mounted on a side of the substrate proximal the base; and a heat sink device, comprising a receptacle part defining an internal volume that is arranged to receive the liquid coolant and accumulate the liquid coolant therein. The heat sink is mounted such that the one of the electronic devices or a component that is thermally conductively coupled to the one of the electronic devices is at least partially within the internal volume.
