  • Patent number: 11937405
    Abstract: A system includes a rack of servers and a fluid circuit for cooling the rack of servers. The fluid circuit includes one or more cooling modules, a heat-exchanging module, and a pump. The one or more cooling modules are thermally connected to a conduit for flowing a coolant therethrough. Each cooling module includes a heat-exchanger thermally connected to the conduit and a chiller fluidly coupled to the heat-exchanger. The heat-exchanging module is fluidly connected to an outlet of the conduit. The pump is configured to drive the coolant from the heat-exchanging module to each server in the rack of servers.

  • Patent number: 11910563
    Abstract: A computing device comprises a housing, a heat-generating electronic component, at least one additional electronic component, and a liquid cooling module. The heat-generating component, the at least one additional electronic component, and the liquid cooling module are all positioned inside the housing. The liquid cooling module is configured to cool the heat-generating electronic component, and includes at least one movable radiator. The at least one movable radiator is configured to move between a first position and a second position. When the at least one movable radiator is in the first position, the at least one movable radiator blocks access to the at least one additional electronic component within the housing. When the at least one movable radiator is in the second position, the at least one movable radiator allows access to the at least one additional electronic component within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20240053805
    Abstract: A method and system controls cooling system leaks in a rack. The method includes monitoring leak detection sensors positioned at computer systems and below sections of a liquid conveyance system. In response to determining if a signal was received from one of the leak detection sensors that is indicative of a leak, the leak detection sensor and the corresponding one of the plurality of computer systems associated the received signal is determined. Power is disconnected to the corresponding one of the computer systems and a signal is transmitted to implement moving first and second valves from open to closed positions. The first valve is positioned within the liquid conveyance system between a hot rack manifold and a thermal contact structure associated with the computer system associated with the received signal. The second valve is positioned within the liquid conveyance system between a cool rack manifold and the thermal contact structure.
