WASTE COLD RECUPERATION IN FUEL CELL BASED POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS FOR DATACENTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240206117 titled 'WASTE COLD RECUPERATION IN FUEL CELL BASED POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS FOR DATACENTERS

The patent application relates to waste cold recuperation in fuel cell-based power generation systems for data centers.

  • A waste cold recuperation system includes a liquefied gas storage for supplying liquefied gas as a coolant to cool compute resources in different cryogenic environments.
  • The system can supply the vapor phase of the liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a second set of compute resources, resulting in the vapor phase becoming a super-heated vapor phase.
  • The super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas can be used as fuel for fuel cells to provide electrical power to the data center load.

Potential Applications: - Energy-efficient cooling systems for data centers - Enhanced power generation using waste cold recuperation - Sustainable energy solutions for large-scale computing facilities

Problems Solved: - Reducing energy consumption in data centers - Efficient utilization of waste cold for power generation - Enhancing overall energy efficiency in computing environments

Benefits: - Lower operational costs for data centers - Reduced environmental impact through sustainable energy practices - Improved reliability and stability of power supply for critical computing operations

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Waste Cold Recuperation System for Data Centers" This technology can be applied in large data centers, cloud computing facilities, and other high-performance computing environments to optimize energy usage and reduce operational expenses.

Questions about Waste Cold Recuperation System: 1. How does the waste cold recuperation system contribute to energy efficiency in data centers? - The system utilizes waste cold to cool compute resources and generate power, reducing the overall energy consumption of the facility.

2. What are the environmental benefits of using super-heated vapor phase as fuel for fuel cells? - By repurposing waste cold as fuel, the system reduces the carbon footprint of data centers and promotes sustainable energy practices.


Original Abstract Submitted

examples described in this disclosure relate to waste cold recuperation in fuel cell based power generation systems for datacenters. an example waste cold recuperation system includes a liquefied gas storage for supplying liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a first set of compute resources configurable to operate in a first cryogenic environment. the system is configurable to supply at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a second set of compute resources configurable to operate in a second cryogenic environment, resulting in the at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas becoming a super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas. the system is configurable to supply the super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas as fuel to fuel cells for providing electrical power to a datacenter load including compute resources configurable to operate in a non-cryogenic environment.
