Patent number: 11473860Abstract: In some respects, concepts disclosed herein generally concern systems, methods and components to detect a presence of a liquid externally of a desired primary flow path through a segment of a fluid circuit, e.g., throughout a cooling loop. Some disclosed concepts pertain to systems, methods, and components to direct seepage or leakage of a liquid coolant toward a lead-detection sensor. As but one example, some disclosed liquid-cooled heat exchangers incorporate a leak-detection sensor, which, in turn, can couple with a computing environment that monitors for detected leaks, and, responsive to an indication of a detected leak, invokes a task to control or to mitigate the detected leak.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: CoolIT Systems, Inc.Inventors: Mike Holden, Kamal Mostafavi, Randy Kubik

Patent number: 11371782Abstract: A cold plate heat exchanger for battery thermal management has first and second plates defining a plurality of fluid flow passages, with inlet and outlet ports proximate to a first end thereof. Each fluid flow passage has first and second ends communicating with respective inlet and outlet ports. One or more portions of each fluid flow passage are immediately adjacent to and in close proximity to a portion of another fluid flow passage or channel, such that heat energy will be transferred by conduction through the first and second plates between the fluid flow passages or channels, thereby providing enhanced heat transfer. The fluid flow passages or channels may be separated by a distance which is less than a width of one of the fluid flow passages or channels, and may be separated by a single rib which partially defines each of the fluid flow passages or channels.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Dana Canada CorporationInventors: Farbod Vakilimoghaddam, Noman Rahim, Allan K. So, Lee M. Kinder, Michael Bardeleben, Benjamin A. Kenney
