SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CRYOGENIC COOLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17851333 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CRYOGENIC COOLING

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: A computing system is described that includes a heat-generating component and an evaporation plate thermally connected to the heat-generating component. The system also includes a cryogenic cooling system positioned near the evaporation plate, which releases a cryogenic fluid onto the plate to cool the heat-generating component. The cryogenic fluid has a boiling point below 273 K.

Patent/Innovation Explanation:

  • Computing system with a heat-generating component and an evaporation plate connected to it.
  • Cryogenic cooling system positioned near the evaporation plate.
  • Cryogenic cooling system releases a cryogenic fluid onto the plate to cool the heat-generating component.
  • Cryogenic fluid used has a boiling point below 273 K.

Potential Applications:

  • High-performance computing systems.
  • Data centers and server farms.
  • Overclocked gaming computers.
  • Supercomputers and scientific simulations.
  • Any application requiring efficient cooling of heat-generating components.

Problems Solved:

Original Abstract Submitted

A computing system and related methods are described. The computing system includes a heat-generating component. The computing system includes an evaporation plate thermally connected to the heat-generating component. The computing system includes a cryogenic cooling system positioned proximate to the evaporation plate. The cryogenic cooling system is configured to release a cryogenic fluid onto the evaporation plate to cool the heat-generating component. The cryogenic fluid has a boiling point of less than 273 K.
