Modular Liquid Cooling Architecture for Liquid Cooling - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240284635 titled 'Modular Liquid Cooling Architecture for Liquid Cooling

The abstract describes a housing and cooling system for computer hardware, consisting of an infrastructure module and a payload module. The infrastructure module houses computer hardware and is equipped with either a convective air cooling system or a liquid cooling system using metal plates connected by conduits. The infrastructure module also contains a programmable logic controller (PLC). The payload module includes an immersion cooling system controlled by the PLC and is located outside the infrastructure module.

  • Infrastructure module houses computer hardware
  • Equipped with convective air cooling system or liquid cooling system
  • Contains a programmable logic controller (PLC)
  • Payload module includes immersion cooling system controlled by PLC
  • Located outside the infrastructure module

Potential Applications: - Data centers - High-performance computing facilities - Server rooms

Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling of computer hardware - Space-saving design - Automated cooling system control

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Cooling System for Computer Hardware" This technology can be used in data centers, server rooms, and high-performance computing facilities to enhance cooling efficiency and optimize space usage. The automated cooling system control provided by the programmable logic controller offers a competitive advantage in the market.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the programmable logic controller (PLC) enhance the cooling system's performance? - The PLC allows for automated control and optimization of the cooling system, improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this housing and cooling system for computer hardware? - The system's efficient cooling design can lead to reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs over time.


Original Abstract Submitted

a housing and cooling system for computer hardware includes an infrastructure module and a payload module. the infrastructure module is configured for housing computer hardware and is equipped with either or both of a convective air cooling system and an arrangement of metal plates connected by one or more conduits for carrying liquid for cooling computer equipment housed by the infrastructure module. the infrastructure modules also houses a programmable logic controller (“plc”). the payload module includes an immersion cooling system governed by the plc and is located outside of the infrastructure module.
