  • Patent number: 11934213
    Abstract: A liquid-cooling device includes multiple water blocks and at least one connection tube. Each of the water blocks has a water incoming end, a water outgoing end and a water-receiving space in communication with the water incoming end and the water outgoing end. The connection tube is disposed between each two water blocks. Two ends of the connection tube are respectively connected with the water incoming end of one of the two water blocks and the water outgoing end of the other water block, whereby the water-receiving spaces of the two water blocks communicate with each other via the connection tube. The connection tube has at least one bellows section between two ends of the connection tube. The liquid-cooling device solves the problems of the conventional liquid-cooling device that when the water block is welded, thermal deformation is produced to cause tolerance and the manufacturing cost is higher.

  • Patent number: 11653480
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus includes a first system that generates heat, and a cooling arrangement. The cooling arrangement cools the first system, and includes a coolant source and a distribution arrangement. The coolant source provides a coolant in a first state that is distributed by the distribution arrangement to absorb the heat. The cooling arrangement includes a control arrangement and a heating arrangement. The control arrangement maintains the coolant in the first state at least a set point, the set point being a temperature that is above a dew point, by determining when to activate the heating arrangement to warm the coolant in the first state and, when it is determined by the control arrangement that the heating arrangement is to be activated, activating the heating arrangement to warm the coolant in the first state to maintain the temperature of the coolant at the set point.

  • Patent number: 11456234
    Abstract: A piezoelectric cooling chamber and method for providing the cooling system are described. The cooling chamber includes a piezoelectric cooling element, an array of orifices and a valve. A vibrational motion of the piezoelectric cooling element causes an increase or decrease in a chamber volume as the piezoelectric cooling element is deformed. The array of orifices is distributed on at least one surface of the chamber. The orifices allow escape of fluid from within the chamber during the decrease in the chamber volume in response to the vibration of the piezoelectric element. The valve is configured to admit fluid into the chamber when the chamber volume increases and to substantially prevent fluid from exiting the chamber through the valve when the chamber volume decreases.
