  • Patent number: 11921552
    Abstract: A computer chassis includes walls defining an airspace containing heat-generating components (e.g., storage drives). The airspace is divided into first and second regions, such as by a printed circuit board supporting the heat-generating components within the first region. An air input feeds both the first region and second region. Input air going through the first region first passes by a forward set of heat-generating components before continuing to a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat therefrom. Input air going through the second region bypasses the forward set of heat-generating components before being directed out through an air opening partway down the length of the chassis, after which this air passes by a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat.

  • Publication number: 20240057284
    Abstract: A system for cooling a heat-generating electronic component includes a first stage, a second stage, and a heat exchanger. The first stage has a first cooling path that circulates a first cooling fluid past the heat-generating electronic component to cause the first cooling fluid to absorb heat from the heat-generating electronic component and the temperature of the first cooling fluid to increase. The second stage circulates a second cooling fluid to increase a pressure of the second cooling fluid, remove heat from the second cooling fluid to decrease a temperature of the second cooling fluid, and decrease the pressure of the second cooling fluid to further decrease the temperature of the second cooling fluid. The heat exchanger is fluidly connected to the first stage and the second stage, and causes the second cooling fluid to flow past and absorb heat from the first cooling fluid.

  • Publication number: 20240008218
    Abstract: A hybrid cooling system is disclosed that combines a liquid coolant cycle and a refrigerant cycle to efficiently and effectively transfer heat away from a heat-generating component of a computing device. The liquid coolant cycle pumps a liquid coolant through a cold plate to extract heat from the heat-generating component. The heated liquid coolant passes through a coolant-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, where refrigerant from the refrigerant cycle absorbs the heat from the liquid coolant. The heated refrigerant passes through a compressor to a condenser, where the high-pressure, heated refrigerant is cooled by air passing over the condenser. The hybrid cooling system enables cooling of a heat-generating component better than by non-hybrid cooling systems.
