INHERENTLY LEAK FREE LIQUID COOLING OF EQUIPMENT

摘要

A system and method of liquid cooling equipment inherently incapable of leaking liquid into the equipment includes maintaining liquid coolant pressure in the vicinity of the equipment below atmospheric pressure. The system and method also includes coolant path defect detection and load balancing.

主权项

1. A system for liquid cooling electronics including:
a recirculating liquid coolant within a closed loop coupled to: an electronic heat source; an opportunity for a defect in said loop, where said defect will allow air ingress , and form air bubbles within said loop; an entrained air detector coupled to a means to notify an operator of the presence or absence of entrained air; a circulation pump; a heat dissipater; and a means to maintain the pressure of said coolant within a portion of said loop located near said heat source below atmospheric pressure.
