Leak detection and prevention system

A leak prevention system, comprising:

• a cooling plate within a liquid cooled data center cooling system, the cooling plate including at least one fluid port configured to connect with a fluid hose to receive a cooling fluid;
• at least one pair of detection wires positioned between an external surface of the at least one fluid port and the fluid hose at a junction of the fluid port and the fluid hose;
• and
• a sensor connected to the at least one pair of detection wires and configured to detect when the cooling fluid contacts the detection wires.

A leak resistant server cooling module comprising:

• a plurality of cooling plates within a server rack, each cooling plate configured to be attached to an electronic component and to receive a cooling fluid within a fluid area;
• a pair of detection wires disposed within each cooling plate and at least partially surrounding the fluid area of each cooling plate;
• an electrical detection bus connecting each pair of detection wires to form a plurality of detection circuits;
• one or more sensors in communication with the detection wires via the electrical detection bus and configured to detect when the cooling fluid contacts the detection wires;
• and
• a controller in communication with the one or more sensors configured to identify a location of a leak when the cooling fluid contacts the detection wires.
