Scalable, multi-vessel distribution system for liquid level control within immersion cooling tanks

摘要

A fluid level control system includes: a first immersion cooling tank having a first volume of immersion cooling liquid and an inlet/outlet pipe extending from a base wall of the tank by which immersion cooling liquid can flow into and out of the first immersion cooling tank; at least one second volume of cooling liquid held within a liquid containing unit having a corresponding inlet/outlet pipe; and a pipe distribution system that physically connects the second volume of immersion cooling liquid to the first volume of immersion cooling liquid via respective inlet/outlet pipes and which enables fluid equilibrium to be maintained between the first volume of liquid and the second volume of liquid via gravitational equilibrium and/or passive level control such that a first volume level of the first volume of immersion cooling liquid remains substantially equal to a second volume level of the second volume of immersion cooling liquid.

1. A fluid level control system for an immersion cooling tank environment, the system comprising:
a first immersion cooling tank having a first volume of immersion cooling liquid contained therein and an inlet/outlet pipe extending from a base wall of the tank with an external pipe connector, wherein the inlet/outlet pipe is utilized as a conduit by which immersion cooling liquid can flow into and out of the first immersion cooling tank, wherein the first immersion cooling tank includes at least one immersion server that is at least partially submerged below a liquid surface of the immersion cooling liquid; at least one second volume of immersion cooling liquid held within a liquid containing unit which has a corresponding inlet/outlet pipe associated with the liquid containing unit; and a pipe distribution system that physically connects the second volume of immersion cooling liquid to the first volume of immersion cooling liquid via respective inlet/outlet pipes and which enables fluid equilibrium to be maintained between the first volume of liquid and the second volume of liquid such that a first volume level of the first volume of immersion cooling liquid remains substantially equal to a second volume level of the second volume of immersion cooling liquid.
