Abstract
The present disclosure refers to methods of employing a computer comprising a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan in an immersion cooling process. The present disclosure also refers to devices therefore. Such methods and devices employ a direct conversion or a probabilistic approach to emulate the operation of a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan. The aforementioned methods and devices may be particularly useful for fans having a fan speed of 25,000 rpm or higher.
Claims4
A method of employing a computer comprising a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan in an immersion cooling process, wherein the method comprises:
- converting a pulse width modulated controlled fan signal to one or more analog signals;
- feeding said one or more analog control signals to a voltage controlled oscillator which is configured to transmit one or more signals to a processor at a frequency that confirms to the processor that the pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan is operable.
A method of employing a computer comprising a pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan with a motor in an immersion cooling process, wherein the method comprises:
- employing a timing element to output a signal at a maximum frequency of the motor;
- mixing the signal with an input to a pulse width modulated controller of the cooling fan and an AND gate in a manner that approximates a reduction in frequency to confirm to a processor that the pulse width modulated controlled cooling fan is operable.
