ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR FOR SENSING TWO-PHASE COOLING FLUID CONTAMINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837366 titled 'ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR FOR SENSING TWO-PHASE COOLING FLUID CONTAMINATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an immersion cooling system that uses an immersion tank to cool electronic components. The system includes an immersion chamber, a working fluid, and two electrodes. The working fluid is partially filled in the immersion chamber. One electrode is connected to a power source, while the other electrode is positioned near the first electrode and creates a sampling region between them. A small portion of the working fluid is placed in the sampling region, and a microcontroller is used to measure the current across the sampling region.

  • The immersion cooling system uses a tank to cool electronic components.
  • It includes an immersion chamber and a working fluid.
  • Two electrodes are used, with one connected to a power source.
  • The second electrode is positioned near the first and creates a sampling region.
  • A small portion of the working fluid is placed in the sampling region.
  • A microcontroller measures the current across the sampling region.

Potential Applications

  • Increased lifespan and reliability of electronic components.
  • Improved performance and reduced risk of overheating.


Original Abstract Submitted

An immersion cooling system includes an immersion tank defining an immersion chamber therein, an immersion working fluid, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The immersion working fluid is positioned at least partially in the immersion chamber. The first electrode is electrically coupled to an electrical power source, and the second electrode is positioned proximate to the first electrode and defines a sampling region therebetween. A sample portion of the immersion working fluid is positioned in the sampling region, and the second electrode is coupled to a microcontroller configured to measure at least a current across the sampling region between the first electrode and the second electrode.
