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.
Claims8
An apparatus, comprising:
- a gas seal component comprising a liquid soluble material that is soluble to a cooling liquid used in a liquid cooled electronic equipment apparatus, wherein:
- the electronic equipment apparatus has a first air flow domain;
- and
- a second airflow domain that is separated from the first air flow domain by a divider section having one or more openings though which fluid may communicate between the first air domain and the second air domain;
- and
- wherein:
- the gas seal component is shaped to fit within the one or more openings to fluidly separate the first air domain from the second air domain;
- and
- when cooling liquid comes in contact with the gas seal component, the gas seal component dissolves, resulting in the one or more openings causing the first air domain to be in fluid communication with the second air domain.
