Force convection driven by propeller applied in single-phase immersion cooling

A single-phase immersion cooling system comprising:

• an immersion cooling tank having a main chamber and a component area, the component area being configured to receive a heat-generating electronic device;
• a coolant filling the immersion cooling tank, the coolant circulating along a flow path that includes (1) a chamber path flowing through the main chamber and (2) a component path flowing through the component area;
• a rotating propeller mounted within the immersion cooling tank, the rotating propeller causing contact between the coolant and the heat-generating electronic device when the heat-generating electronic device is received within the component area;
• and
• an inlet funnel located within the component area, the inlet funnel focusing the coolant towards the rotating propeller for enhancing cooling of the component area.

• a coolant filling the immersion cooling tank, the coolant circulating along a flow path that includes a chamber path and a component path, the coolant in the chamber path flowing through the main chamber, the coolant in the component path flowing through the component area;
• a rotating propeller mounted within the immersion cooling tank, the rotating propeller causing contact between the coolant and the heat-generating electronic device when the heat-generating electronic device is received within the component area, the coolant in a driven flow path circulating at a faster speed than the coolant in a chamber path;
• and
• an inlet funnel located within the component area, the inlet funnel focusing the coolant towards the rotating propeller for enhancing cooling of the component area;
• wherein the component area is defined at least in part by a component-area wall, the inlet funnel being defined by a funnel surface extending between a funnel entry end and a funnel exit end, the funnel surface being separated by a gap from the component-area wall at the funnel exit end.
