  • Patent number: 11737248
    Abstract: A data center cooling system has an indoor portion wherein heat is absorbed from components in the data center, and an outdoor heat exchanger portion wherein outside air is used to cool a first heat transfer fluid (e.g., water) present in at least the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the cooling system during a first mode. When an appropriate time has been reached to switch from the first mode to a second mode, the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the data cooling system is switched to a second heat transfer fluid, which is a relatively low performance heat transfer fluid (compared to the first fluid). It has a second heat transfer fluid freezing point, lower than the first heat transfer fluid freezing point, and sufficiently low to operate without freezing when the outdoor air temperature drops below a first predetermined relationship with the first heat transfer fluid freezing point.

  • Patent number: 11464137
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a device to be cooled and a cooling device integrated with the device to be cooled. A cooling volume has cavities and active coolant flow controls configured to adjust coolant flow through the cavities. A reservoir is in fluid communication with the cavities and has a liquid outlet and an inlet for a gas or gas-liquid mixture. A two-phase coolant is in the reservoir and cavities. The two-phase coolant has a phase transition temperature between an ambient temperature and an expected device temperature. A capacitance sensor is configured to determine a coolant capacitance in the cavities. A control module is configured to determine a vapor quality and void fraction of the coolant based on the measured capacitance and to increase coolant flow if the determined vapor quality and void fraction indicate a dry-out condition. A secondary cooling line removes heat from the cooling device.

  • Patent number: 11240935
    Abstract: A data center cooling system is operated in a first mode, has an indoor portion wherein heat is absorbed from components in the data center by a heat transfer fluid, and has an outdoor heat exchanger portion and a geothermal heat exchanger portion. The first mode includes ambient air cooling of the heat transfer fluid in the outdoor heat exchanger portion and/or geothermal cooling of the heat transfer fluid in the geothermal heat exchanger portion. Based on an appropriate metric, a determination is made that a switch should be made from the first mode to a second, different, mode; and, responsive thereto, the data center cooling system is switched to the second mode. The second mode includes at least another of ambient air cooling of the heat transfer fluid in the outdoor heat exchanger portion and geothermal cooling of the heat transfer fluid in the geothermal heat exchanger portion.

  • Patent number: 11145142
    Abstract: A method of detecting and identifying road surface defects is provided. Motion and position information is received from a plurality of vehicles. A profile is retrieved for a particular vehicle from a database of vehicle profiles by using an identifier of the particular vehicle. One or more criteria are identified for detecting a particular type of road surface defect based on the retrieved profile of the particular vehicle. Upon determining that the received motion and position data satisfies the identified criteria, a detection of a road surface defect of the particular type and a location associated with the detected road surface defect based on the received position information is reported.

  • Patent number: 10716245
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cooling include one or more computing structures, a heat rejection system configured to cool coolant, and one or more heat exchangers configured to selectively transfer heat from coolant in the intra-structure cooling system to coolant in the heat rejection system. Each computing structure includes one or more cooled servers and an intra-structure cooling system configured to selectively provide coolant to the one or more cooled servers. A controller is configured to adjust cooling of the coolant in accordance with ambient temperature information, to decrease cooling of the coolant if the coolant temperature falls below a first coolant threshold temperature by disengaging one or more heat exchangers, and to turn on additional servers if the coolant temperature is below the first cool and threshold and all heat exchangers have been disengaged.
