SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING FLOW RATE IN A LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871653 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING FLOW RATE IN A LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method that involves receiving power information, first temperature information, and second temperature information from various sensors in an information handling resource. Based on this information, the method estimates the flow rate of a liquid coolant through a liquid cooling system.

  • The method receives power information from an information handling resource.
  • The method receives first temperature information from a first temperature sensor.
  • The method receives second temperature information from a second temperature sensor.
  • The method estimates the flow rate of the liquid coolant based on the power information, first temperature information, and second temperature information.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in data centers or server rooms where liquid cooling systems are used to cool information handling resources.
  • It can be used in high-performance computing systems that require efficient cooling to maintain optimal temperatures.

Problems Solved:

  • This technology solves the problem of accurately estimating the flow rate of liquid coolant in a cooling system.
  • It addresses the challenge of maintaining the temperature of information handling resources within acceptable limits.

Benefits:

  • Accurate estimation of the fluid flow rate helps in optimizing the cooling system's efficiency.
  • Maintaining optimal temperatures ensures the proper functioning and longevity of information handling resources.
  • This technology can contribute to energy savings by efficiently managing the cooling process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method may include receiving power information from an information handling resource regarding an amount of electrical power consumed by the information handling resource, receiving first temperature information from a first temperature sensor regarding a first temperature, receiving second temperature information from the second temperature sensor regarding a second temperature, and based on the power information, the first temperature information, and the second temperature information, estimating a fluid flow rate of the liquid coolant through the liquid cooling system.
