Abstract
The instant application pertains to new liquid level monitoring apparatus and a cooling system for computer components that employs the liquid level monitoring apparatus. In one embodiment, the liquid level measurement device comprises a load cell and a buoyancy element. The buoyancy element is configured to be partially submerged in a dielectric liquid. The load cell and the buoyancy element are operably connected such that a change in liquid volume may be determined using Archimedes' principle.
Claims9
A cooling system for computing components comprising:
- a vessel configured to comprise a volume of liquid dielectric fluid;
- a central reservoir that is separated from a bath area of the vessel by a wall;
- a rack configured to hold one or more computer components such that the one or more computer components are configured to be at least partially submerged within the liquid dielectric fluid;
- a heat exchanger for cooling a liquid dielectric fluid;
- and
- a liquid level measurement device comprising:
- a load cell;
- a buoyancy element;
- a housing which at least partially surrounds the load cell and buoyancy element;
- and
- an variable speed motor configured to raise and lower the housing;
- wherein the buoyancy element is configured to be partially submerged in a liquid and wherein the load cell and the buoyancy element are operably connected such that a change in liquid level may be determined.
