Data Center Information Technololgy Cluster Design
A data center and a data center cluster have plurality of immersion cooling systems and a plurality of coolant units that provide two-phase coolant to one or more of the plurality of immersion cooling systems. Each coolant unit dispatches and manages two-phase coolant to two or more of the plurality of immersion cooling systems. The coolant units can fill or empty an immersion tank of an immersion cooling system, and can empty or fill a coolant tank in the coolant unit. A single-phase cooling fluid cools the vapor phase of the two-phase coolant in each immersion cooling system. The coolant units are modular, with a common interface to other coolant units and to immersion cooling systems to create a scalable cooling system and data center.
