Cooling module with leak detector and related systems
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.
ELECTRONICS RACK WITH LEAK SEGREGATION SYSTEM
According to one embodiment, a leak segregation system for a rack that includes a rack liquid manifold. The system includes at least one leak segregation structure that is mounted to the manifold, the structure having a top opening, a bottom that includes at least one opening, a back opening for receiving a manifold connector of the manifold, and a front opening for receiving a connector of an electronics component mounted within the rack, where the structure contains the manifold connector and at least partially contains the connector when the connectors are coupled together. The system also includes a leak detection structure that is positioned below the leak segregation structure and includes a leak detection sensor that is configured to detect a presence of liquid from the leak segregation structure.
Canned motor device
A canned motor device includes a casing, a rear cover and a leak detector. The rear cover has a main body portion having a cover end wall, and an extended disk portion cooperating with the main body portion to define an accommodating space. The casing and the rear cover cooperatively define an annular groove, a liquid-receiving space and a plurality of guiding grooves therebetween. The leak detector is disposed on one side of the cover end wall opposite to the liquid-receiving space for detecting a change in electrostatic capacity between the leak detector and the liquid-receiving space. The annular groove communicates with the liquid-receiving space, the accommodating space and each of the guiding grooves.
Connecting device for connecting a sensor to a unit containing a fluid
To enable easy alignment of a leakage outlet according to known guidelines, a connecting device (1) for connecting a sensor (3) to a unit (2) containing a fluid is provided, comprising a first mounting portion (1a) to which the sensor (3) is mountable, a second mounting portion (1b) which is mountable to the unit (2), a central portion (1c) located between the first and second mounting portions (1a and 1b) and a leakage ring (1e) covering the bore (1d) of the central portion (1c), the leakage ring (1e) being sealed and rotatable relative to the central portion (1c), wherein the leakage ring (1e) has a leakage outlet (1f) on its periphery, the leakage outlet (1f) being provided to be located in the region of a lowest position of the periphery of the leakage ring (1e) in an operating position to allow any fluid present to drain.
Battery Pack, Battery Apparatus and Method for Detecting Electrolyte Leakage
In a battery pack, a battery monitoring circuit is connected to a battery module including a plurality of battery cells to monitor the battery module. The detection sensor detects an electrolyte leaking in the battery module, and includes a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series between a power supply supplying a first voltage and a ground terminal, and a variable resistor connected to the first resistor in parallel and having a resistance that varies depending on the electrolyte leaking in the battery module. The detection sensor transfers, as a sensing voltage, a voltage at a contact between the first resistor and the second resistor to an input terminal of the battery monitoring circuit.
SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM
A hydrogen sensor includes a communication terminal, a plurality of identification terminals, and an ID setting section. The communication terminal is connected to a first communication bus or a second communication bus, and communicate with a vehicle ECU. Each of the plurality of identification terminals is set to either an open state (OPEN) in which the identification terminal is not connected to any potential or a grounded state (GND) in which the identification terminal is connected to a ground potential. The ID setting section sets an identifier in either a standard format or an extended format, according to a difference in the communication bus to which the communication terminal is connected.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION BOX
Provided is an electric connection box with which proactive measures can be taken by liquid inflow monitoring. The electric connection box includes a housing where an electronic component is mounted. The housing is provided with a detection part detecting liquid inflow.
Pump system with leak damage protection
An electric diaphragm pump having a pump head assembly in a first housing, a motor assembly in a second housing, a fluid sensor, and a leak alert system and/or pump shut-off system. The fluid sensor detects a presence of fluid which has leaked outside of a pump chamber and is located within a cavity of the diaphragm drive chamber. The leak alert system indicates that fluid has been detected by the fluid sensor and the shut-off control system stops operation of the pump based on fluid being detected by the fluid sensor.
