SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT USING LIQUID COOLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971161 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT USING LIQUID COOLING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information handling system with a liquid cooling system that includes two manifolds to regulate coolant flow within the chassis.

  • The first manifold has a chassis outlet providing coolant flow to the chassis inlet, and a chassis inlet receiving coolant flow from the chassis outlet.
  • The second manifold also has a chassis outlet providing coolant flow to the chassis inlet, and a chassis inlet receiving coolant flow from the chassis outlet.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in high-performance computing systems, data centers, and other electronic devices that require efficient cooling systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently cooling electronic components within an information handling system to prevent overheating and potential damage to the hardware.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system includes a chassis that includes a chassis inlet and a chassis outlet and a liquid cooling system that includes a first manifold. The first manifold includes a first chassis outlet configured to provide a first inlet coolant flow to the chassis inlet and a first chassis inlet configured to receive a first outlet coolant flow from the chassis outlet. The liquid cooling system also includes a second manifold that includes a second chassis outlet configured to provide the first inlet coolant flow to the chassis inlet, and a second chassis inlet configured to receive the first outlet coolant flow from the chassis outlet.
