  • Patent number: 11596084
    Abstract: A thermal module with a heat pipe configured with a first portion configured for contact with an edge of a plurality of fins in a fin stack, a second portion configured for contact with a side of one fin in the fin stack and a sharp angled bend is formed between the first portion and the second portion to fluidly isolate the first portion from the second portion. The first portion comprises a usable length of the heat pipe that efficiently transfers heat based on phase transitioning by the fluid. The second portion is formed from at least some of the unusable length of the heat pipe. By configuring the heat pipe such that more fins contact the usable length of the heat pipe, heat transfer from the heat pipe to the fin stack is increased.

  • Patent number: 11284543
    Abstract: Disclosed are layouts, arrangements, and configurations of room airflow, server racks and cooling delivery subsystems that support data centers having system architectures with segregated compute and storage point of deliveries (PoDs). A cooling row is arranged in the rear side of racks housing a PoD to supply the PoD with the cooling delivery subsystem, which includes a recirculating loop supplying cooling fluid to the PoD and returning warm fluid to the cooling source. Modular cooling units of the cooling row includes cooling coils used to cool the airflow leaving the racks. The cooling capacity of the cooling liquid supplied to the cooling delivery subsystem for a PoD may be independently adjusted and controlled in a feedback loop based on the temperature of the air of the PoD after it has been cooled by the cooling coils, such as the outlet air temperature from the cooling row housing the PoD.

  • Patent number: 11272639
    Abstract: A heat dissipation apparatus includes a heat dissipation panel built in the electronic device. The heat dissipation panel includes a first heat conducting layer, including a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is a surface exposed to the outside when the first heat conducting layer is bent. The second surface is a surface opposite to the first surface. A first region on the first heat conducting layer is used to absorb heat released by a heat emitting component, and conduct the heat to a second region on the first heat conducting layer, to dissipate the heat. The heat dissipation panel also includes first flexible layer, including a third region. The third region adheres to a position that is on the second surface of the first heat conducting layer and that corresponds to a bending region.
