SELECTIVE REMOVAL OF FLUID FROM 2-PHASE HEAT TRANSFER THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
An immersion cooling system includes a housing having an interior space; a heat-generating component disposed within the interior space; and a working fluid liquid disposed within the interior space such that the heat-generating component is in contact with a liquid phase of the working fluid. The immersion system further includes a device configured to selectively remove a fluid from within the housing. The working fluid includes a halogenated material.
VAPOR LEAK SEPARATION AND DETECTION SYSTEM
A cooling system includes a first cooling loop, a second cooling loop and a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the first cooling loop to the second cooling loop. The first cooling loop includes a vapor/liquid separation feature configured to separate vapor present in the first cooling loop due to a leak between the first cooling loop and the second cooling loop. The first cooling loop also includes a pressure sensor configured to detect an increase in pressure in the first cooling loop that may result from a leak of second coolant into the first cooling loop.
THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE AND HEAT REJECTION SYSTEM
A cooling system is provided including a two-phase pump loop and a vapor compression system. The two-phase pump loop cools a thermal load with a first coolant. The vapor compression system is configured to circulate a second coolant. The vapor compression system includes a liquid vapor separator which separates the second coolant into a liquid portion and a gaseous portion. The liquid vapor separator is a thermal energy storage for the two-phase pump loop. A condenser of the two-phase pump loop transfers heat from the first coolant to the liquid portion of the second coolant in the liquid-vapor separator.
Systems and methods for heat exchange
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for heat exchange, such as cooling a heat source. A cooling system of the present disclosure may comprise a first channel that is configured to direct a liquid coolant, a second channel that is configured to direct a vapor coolant generated from the liquid coolant, and a condenser that is configured to permit the vapor coolant to undergo phase transition to the liquid coolant. The cooling system may further comprise at least one cooling interface in fluid communication with the first channel and the second channel. The cooling interface may be configured to facilitate heat exchange between the liquid coolant and a heat source.

Systems and methods for controlling a refrigeration system
A refrigeration system includes a heat exchanger configured to place a cooling fluid in a heat exchange relationship with a working fluid, a free-cooling circuit having a pump configured to circulate the working fluid through the heat exchanger and a condenser, a flow control valve configured to control a flow rate of the working fluid to the condenser, a condenser bypass valve configured to control a flow rate of the working fluid that bypasses the condenser, and a controller configured to adjust a position of the flow control valve, a position of the condenser bypass valve, a speed of a fan of the condenser, a speed of the pump, and a temperature of a heater based on an ambient temperature, a temperature of the working fluid leaving the condenser, the position of the flow control valve, the position of the condenser bypass valve, or a combination thereof.
Heat exchanger module
A heat exchanger module includes a condenser unit and an evaporator unit. The evaporator unit includes N pieces of parallel-flow heat exchangers arranged adjacently, and the coolant temperatures reduce gradually from the first to Nth parallel-flow heat exchangers along an air flow direction in the evaporator unit. A counter-current mounting method is adopted in the parallel-flow heat exchangers of the evaporator unit in the heat exchanger module provided by the present invention. The coolant temperature of each parallel-flow heat exchanger is lower than that of the previous one, the temperature difference between air and coolant is relatively uniform by using the counter-current method so as to reach a better heat exchange effect.
