Bushings are attached to the stabilizer pins. The stabilizer pins and bushings extend laterally into and engage with the stabilizer slots. Upon installation, the stabilizer pins and bushings are aligned with the stabilizer slots as the cooling system module is lowered onto the ISO mounts. The stabilizer pins and bushings slide vertically downwards into the stabilizer slots as the cooling system module is lowered into place. The simpler stabilizer pins, bushings, and stabilizer slots thereby take the place of expensive, time consuming, complex, labor intensive, and space consuming stay rod arrangements.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: International Engine Intellectual Property Company, LLCInventors: Shouhao Wu, Dean Oppermann

Patent number: 11665861Abstract: A modular data center has an air handling unit (AHU) that is coupled to a first panel that is engaged over a first opening in a volumetric container. The AHU directs pressurized supply air through a supply air outlet into a cold aisle causing the supply air to pass through a first side of the IT component(s) installed in an interior of the volumetric container. A chimney of a return air plenum captures return air from a second side of the IT component(s), directing the return air to a return air duct of the return air plenum that is connected to a return air inlet of the AHU. In one or more embodiments, a second AHU is coupled to a second panel that is engaged to a second opening in a second side, directing pressurized supply air via a supply air plenum to the opposing first side.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Mark M. Bailey, Trey S. Wiederhold

Patent number: 11659686Abstract: A water cooling system includes a water block, a heat radiator, a pump, a circulating conduit and a water storage assembly. The pump is disposed between the water block and the heat radiator. The circulating conduit communicates with the water block, the heat radiator and the pump. The water storage assembly is configured to be a part of an integrated element. The integrated element includes one of the water block, the heat radiator and the pump. The water storage assembly includes a liquid storage chamber and a liquid guide. The liquid storage chamber has an inner wall. An end of the liquid guide has a protrusive tube end reaching to the liquid storage chamber. The protrusive tube end protrudes from the inner wall. An angular space is formed between the protrusive tube end and the inner wall.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: KUAN DING INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Kuan-Da Pan, Ming-Cheng Peng

Patent number: 11647605Abstract: Several transportable datacenters are described. The transportable datacenters include transport systems allowing them to be transported between an assembly location and an operating location. The transportable datacenters also include a ventilation system for cooling processors positioned in racks in the datacenters. The ventilation system draws cold air from the environment, through processor bays containing the processors and then exhausts the air back to the environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2022Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Inventor: Scot Arthur Johnson

Patent number: 11604030Abstract: An air-cooled condenser system for steam condensing applications in a power plant Rankine cycle includes an air cooled condenser having a plurality of interconnected modular cooling cells. Each cell comprises a frame-supported fan, inlet steam headers, outlet condensate headers, and tube bundle assemblies having extending between the headers. The tube bundle assemblies may be arranged in a V-shaped tube structure. A plurality of deflection limiter beams are arranged coplanar with the tube bundles. Top ends of each deflection limiter beam are slideably inserted in an associated floating end cap affixed to an upper tubesheet which moves vertically relative to the beams via thermal expansion/contraction concomitantly with the tubes. The deflection limiter beams provides guided restraint system for expansion/contraction of the tube bundles which prevents out of plane tube bowing.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Inventors: Krishna P. Singh, Vytautas Vincas Maciunas, Raghavendra Palle

Patent number: 11599163Abstract: A computing cooling system includes a chassis having chassis air inlet(s) and outlet(s). Heat dissipation device(s) thermally coupled to heat producing component(s) are located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air outlet(s). A first fan device located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air inlet(s) pulls first air from outside the chassis into the first fan device via the chassis air inlet(s), and pushes the first air though the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis via the chassis air outlet(s). A second fan device located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air inlet(s) pulls second air from outside the chassis into the second fan device via the chassis air inlet(s), pushes a first portion of the second air past the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis via the chassis air outlet(s), and pushes a second portion of the second air into the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Philip Joseph Grossmann, Michael James Pescetto, Jacob Vick, Travis C.
