HEAT SINK FOR LIQUID COOLING
A module is provided for housing electronic devices and a liquid coolant. The module comprises: a housing defining a sealable internal volume for containing the electronic devices and the liquid coolant, the sealable internal volume having a base; a substrate in the sealable internal volume approximately parallel to the base, one of the electronic devices being mounted on a side of the substrate proximal the base; and a heat sink device, comprising a receptacle part defining an internal volume that is arranged to receive the liquid coolant and accumulate the liquid coolant therein. The heat sink is mounted such that the one of the electronic devices or a component that is thermally conductively coupled to the one of the electronic devices is at least partially within the internal volume.
IMMERSION COOLING PACKAGE
Implementations of a semiconductor package may include one or more semiconductor die embedded in a substrate; at least three pin fin terminals coupled to the substrate; at least one signal lead connector and a fixture portion coupled to the substrate; and a coating directly coupled to all surfaces of the substrate exposed to a coolant during operation. The fixture portion may be configured to be fastened to a fixture in an immersion cooling enclosure that may include the coolant.
IMMERSION DIRECT COOLING MODULES AND RELATED METHODS
Implementations of a semiconductor package may include one or more semiconductor die directly coupled to only a direct leadframe attach (DLA) leadframe including two or more leads; and a coating covering the one or more semiconductor die and the DLA leadframe where when the semiconductor package is coupled into an immersion cooling enclosure, the coating may be in contact with a dielectric coolant while the two or more leads extend out of the immersion cooling enclosure.
NOZZLE ARRANGEMENT AND COOLING MODULE
A nozzle arrangement for cooling an electronic component. The nozzle arrangement comprises: a nozzle for discharging liquid coolant; and a mount configured to disperse the liquid coolant, the mount further configured to be coupled with the electronic component. The nozzle is coupled to the mount such that, in use, the liquid coolant is discharged from the nozzle through the mount and dispersed by the mount.
COOLING ELECTRONIC DEVICES INSTALLED IN A SUBSURFACE ENVIRONMENT
An system and method for cooling of electronic equipment, for example a computer system, in a subsurface environment including a containment vessel in at least partial contact with subsurface liquid or solid material. The containment vessel may be disposed in a variety of subsurface environments, including boreholes, man-made excavations, subterranean caves, as well as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, oceans, or other bodies of water. The containment vessel may be installed with a subsurface configuration allowing for human access for maintenance and modification. Cooling is achieved by one or more fluids circulating inside and/or outside the containment vessel, with a variety of configurations of electronic devices disposed within the containment vessel. The circulating fluid(s) may be cooled in place by thermal conduction or by active transfer of the fluid(s) out of the containment vessel to an external heat exchange mechanism, then back into the containment vessel.
Method and system for in-situ measuring of a heat transfer fluid in a device for immersion cooling and device for immersion cooling
A method and system for controlling operation of an immersion cooling system having an immersion cooling tank adapted to contain a heat transfer fluid used to immersion cool a heat-generating object contained therein, the method including: sampling a volume of the heat transfer fluid while the object remains in an operating state; measuring at least one property or parameter of the sampled heat transfer fluid; generating and transmitting measurement data to a control unit; comparing measurement data with respective threshold data using the control unit; and controlling operation of the immersion cooling system with the control unit based on the comparison.
MEASUREMENT OF DIELECTRIC LIQUID LEVEL CHANGE IN SINGLE PHASE OR TWO-PHASE IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEMS
The instant application pertains to new liquid level monitoring apparatus and a cooling system for computer components that employs the liquid level monitoring apparatus. In one embodiment, the liquid level measurement device comprises a load cell and a buoyancy element. The buoyancy element is configured to be partially submerged in a dielectric liquid. The load cell and the buoyancy element are operably connected such that a change in liquid volume may be determined using Archimedes' principle.
Water cooled server
A computer module includes a substrate having redistribution layers comprising conductors and dielectrics formed on both sides of the substrate. Selected thin film conductors have a half pitch of 2 μm or less. Semiconductor components selected from bare die, chiplets, stacked devices, and low-profile packaged devices are flip chip mounted on the substrate. After grinding and polishing operations, a polished planar surface extends across each side of the substrate, coincident with the back side of the semiconductor components. Copper sheets are bonded to the polished planar surfaces using die attach films. A water-cooled server comprises multiple computer modules disposed in a tank with cooling water circulating around the modules. It dissipates 6.3 MW at a water flow rate of 339 gallons per minute and has a power density of 1 kW/in.sup.3.
VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH TWO ELECTRIC MOTORS
A vehicle having: two front wheels; two rear wheels; two electric motors, which are connected to the two wheels of a same axle; and an electronic power converter to control both electric motors. The electronic power converter has: two groups of power modules; at least one capacitor, which is connected in parallel to a DC input; a container, which houses the two groups of power modules and the capacitor and is provided with a cup-shaped body provided with a lower wall; and a cooling system provided with a chamber, which is configured to be flown through by a cooling liquid. The chamber of the cooling system is delimited, on one side, by the lower wall of the cup-shaped body of the container and, on the other side, by a containing wall, which is arranged at a given distance from the lower wall.
