  • Patent number: 11602075
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for cooling a to-be-cooled device is described. The cooling apparatus includes a cabinet body configured to contain a cooling medium for at least partially immersing the to-be-cooled device, a volumeter for detecting a volume of the cooling medium in the cabinet body, and a storage tank storing the cooling medium. The storage tank and the cabinet body are communicatively connected to each other. Further, when the volumeter detects that the volume of the cooling medium in the cabinet body is lower than a preset volume, the storage tank and the cabinet body come into mutual communication so that the cooling medium in the storage tank is transferred into the cabinet body.

  • Patent number: 10278309
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cabinet and a heat dissipation system. The cabinet includes: an operating compartment, disposed on one side of a heat dissipation substrate, where the operating compartment is configured to accommodate a server; and a heat dissipation compartment, disposed on the other side of the heat dissipation substrate. Both the heat dissipation compartment and the operating compartment share the heat dissipation substrate as a compartment wall. The operating compartment is separated from the heat dissipation compartment by using the heat dissipation substrate. The heat dissipation compartment accommodates multiple heat dissipation fins, and the multiple heat dissipation fins are connected to the heat dissipation substrate. An air intake vent is disposed in a first compartment wall of the heat dissipation compartment, and an air exhaust vent is disposed in a second compartment wall of the heat dissipation compartment disclosure.
