According to one embodiment, a battery backup unit (BBU) with a louver design includes a container, a battery module having one or more battery cells, a first louver at a frontend of the container, a second louver at a backend of the container, and a control mechanism that is coupled to both the first and second louvers and is configured to open and close the louvers. Also, the battery module and the control mechanism are disposed within the container. In another embodiment, a BBU shelf with a similar louver design that includes one or more battery modules may be implemented within an electronic rack.

A heat dissipation cabinet includes a cabinet body and a heat dissipation apparatus. A first accommodation region of the cabinet body can accommodate a plugboard in a stacked manner, and heat source components of the plugboard dissipate heat through the heat dissipation apparatus. An evaporator, a condenser, and an evaporation pipeline of the heat dissipation apparatus are connected to a liquid return pipeline to form a heat exchange loop, and the evaporator is in thermal contact with an outer surface of a heat source component. The condenser is disposed in a second accommodation region and located above the evaporator. A refrigerant flows in the heat exchange loop, to draw heat of the heat source component far to the condenser, and take away heat of the condenser using air generated by a fan. A second accommodation region is used as an independent air duct whose path is relatively short.

A liquid-submersible thermal management system includes a cylindrical outer shell and an inner shell positioned in an interior volume of the outer shell. The cylindrical outer shell has a longitudinal axis oriented vertically relative to a direction of gravity, and the inner shell defines an immersion chamber. The liquid-submersible thermal management system a spine positioned inside the immersion chamber and oriented at least partially in a direction of the longitudinal axis with a heat-generating component located in the immersion chamber. A working fluid is positioned in the immersion chamber and at least partially surrounding the heat-generating component. The working fluid receives heat from the heat-generating component.

A dilution refrigerator is provided. The dilution refrigerator includes a plurality of thermalization plates configured to be cooled to a plurality of temperatures, and a first thermalization plate of the plurality of thermalization plates includes an integrated heat exchanger. The integrated heat exchanger includes channels formed in the first thermalization plate, and the channels are configured to allow helium to flow through the first thermalization plate during operation of the dilution refrigerator to improve heat exchange and cooling power of the dilution refrigerator.

According to one embodiment, an immersion cooling system may include a container to receive one or more server blades, each having electronics, at least partially submerged within a two-phase coolant contained within the container. The immersion cooling system may also include a cover panel to cover the phase change area. This area may include a liquid region defined to contain the two-phase coolant therein, and a vapor region defined between the cover panel and a surface of the two-phase coolant. The cover panel includes a plurality of slots, covered with rotatable panels. At least one of the slots is configured to allow a server blade to be inserted into the liquid region and at least partially submerged into the two-phase coolant. The slots may be configured to allow a condensing unit to be inserted into the vapor region.

Fluid replacement structures used in immersion cooling tanks can include various enhancements to make them functional beyond simply taking up space. For example, the density of fluid replacement structures can be variable to assist with buoyancy control. As another example, fluid replacement structures can be designed to enable vaporized working fluid to be directed to a desired location. As another example, fluid replacement structures can include emergency cooling features, such as different substances that cause an endothermic reaction to occur when they are mixed together. The substances can be separated by a membrane that melts when the temperature reaches a certain point. As another example, a fluid replacement structure can provide structural support for an immersion cooling tank when negative pressure operations are performed. Fluid replacement structures can also include alignment features, lifting features, locking features, mating guides, fiducial markers, or the like.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a plurality of in-rack coolant distribution units (IRCDUs) include a first IRCDU and a second IRCDU that are interchangeable within a rack depending on a type of coolant to be provided to a rack from a coolant distribution unit (CDU), so that a first IRCDU that is calibrated to a first coolant can distribute a first coolant and a second IRCDU that is calibrated to a second coolant can distribute a second coolant to a rack manifold of a rack.

Embodiments are disclosed of an information technology (IT) cooling system. The system includes an IT container having an internal volume. Inside the internal volume there is an immersion fluid region adapted to submerge one or more servers in a two-phase immersion fluid. An immersion condenser is positioned above the immersion fluid region in the internal volume. The design includes a circulation condenser. The circulation condenser is fluidly coupled to a liquid distribution manifold and a vapor return manifold that are positioned in the internal volume above the immersion tank (i.e., the immersion fluid region) and are adapted to circulate a two-phase circulation fluid. The circulation condenser is also fluidly coupled to the immersion condenser, and an external cooling fluid is pumped from the circulation condenser to the immersion condenser. The distribution manifolds are adapted to be fluidly coupled to the server liquid cooling loops.

A two phase coolant immersion system includes a top section and an immersion section, where the top section and the immersion section are separated by one or more panels. The immersion section includes at least a number of server slots to receive a number of servers, where each of the servers is at least partially submerged within two phase liquid coolant within the immersion section, where, when the servers operate, the servers generate heat that is transferred to the two phase liquid coolant causing some of the two phase liquid coolant to turn into a vapor. The two phase coolant immersion system includes a condensing section interfaced with the immersion section, where the condensing section includes a vapor collection compartment to collect two phase liquid coolant in vapor phase and a liquid collection compartment situated beneath the vapor collection compartment. The one or more panels prevent vapor loss to the environment.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, an in-rack refrigerant distribution unit (RDU) distributes refrigerant to one or more colds plates in association with a pressure control system to enable a pressure-drop before an expansion valve for a liquid-phase of a refrigerant based in part on a pressure of a liquid-phase of a refrigerant exceeding a first threshold and based in part on a temperature associated with one or more cold plates being below a second threshold.
