Abstract
An apparatus that first and second volumes are fluidly separated by a combination of a first second and a second sections, where the first section is insoluble to a cooling liquid and the second section is soluble to the cooling liquid. In the event of a leak of coolant liquid, the second sections dissolve, forming a fluid path from the first volume to the second volume. The coolant liquid may then escape the first volume in spaces that result from the dissolution of the second sections.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a housing having a drain surface, and having defined within:
- a first volume;
- and
- a second volume that is fluidly isolated from the first volume by a separating member, wherein the separating member includes:
- a first section that is insoluble to a cooling liquid;
- and
- one or more second sections, wherein each of the one or more second sections is soluble to the cooling liquid;
- wherein:
- the first volume defines a gas flow domain through which a gas may flow;
- the first volume is positioned above the second volume, and the drain surface is a bottom surface of the second volume;
- and
- when the second sections of the separating member are dissolved by the cooling liquid, open spaces are formed in the separating member and the cooling liquid drains from the first volume into the second volume.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a first airflow domain:
- a liquid cooling exchange system located within the first airflow domain that includes a cooling liquid that is circulated within the liquid cooling exchange system;
- and
- a second airflow domain that is fluidly separated from the first airflow domain at least in part by a gas seal component, wherein the gas seal component comprises a liquid soluble material that is soluble to the cooling liquid.
