Abstract
A two-phase liquid immersion cooling system is described in which heat generating computer components cause a dielectric fluid cool the computer components. Advantageously, a pH indicator is employed to monitor the acidity of the dielectric fluid via, for example, a color change.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- at least partially submerging a computer component in a thermally conductive, dielectric fluid in a bath area of a vessel, wherein:
- the computer component is mounted in a chassis and configured to receive power;
- and
- the computer component is configured to dissipate heat in the dielectric fluid when the computer component operates;
- testing acidity of the dielectric fluid using a pH indicator that changes color when a pH of the dielectric fluid changes;
- and
- detecting a color change of the pH indicator by a camera
- shutting down, using a management system, the vessel in response to detecting the color change.

A system comprising:
- a tank configured to hold a thermally conductive, dielectric fluid;
- a computer component at least partially submerged within the dielectric fluid;
- a pH indicator that changes color when the pH of the dielectric fluid changes;
- and
- a color detection sensor or a camera to detect a color change of the pH indicator;
- wherein the system further comprises a container comprising a glass shield wherein the container includes the pH indicator visible through the glass shield and wherein the camera to detect the color change of the pH indicator is configured to take a photo of the pH indicator.
