Abstract
A detection system adapted for a liquid-cooling system includes a pressurizing device and at least one pressure sensor, the pressurizing device is configured to connect to and to pressure the liquid-cooling system, the pressure sensor is configured to measure a transient pressure response in response to detecting residual air bubbles in the liquid-cooling system.
Claims20
A detection system, adapted for a liquid-cooling system, comprising:
- a pressurizing device connecting to and pressuring the liquid-cooling system;
- and
- at least one pressure sensor measuring a transient pressure response in response to detecting residual air bubbles in the liquid-cooling system, wherein the pressurizing device and the at least one pressure sensor are disposed in parallel to the liquid-cooling system.
A flow rate control device, adapted to have fluid communication with a cold plate of a liquid-cooling system, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a detection system, comprising:
- a pressurizing device and at least one pressure sensor, wherein the pressurizing device and the at least one pressure sensor are disposed in the housing and are disposed in parallel to the liquid-cooling system, the pressurizing device connects to at least one of an inlet and an outlet of the cold plate, the at least one pressure sensor measures a transient pressure response in response to detecting residual air bubbles in the liquid-cooling system.
A transient pressure response detection method, adapted for a pressurizing device and at least one pressure sensor being in fluid communication with a liquid-cooling system, comprising:
- pressurizing the liquid-cooling system by the pressurizing device;
- and
- measuring a transient pressure response in the liquid-cooling system by the at least one pressure sensor to detect residual air bubbles in the liquid-cooling system, wherein the pressurizing device and the at least one pressure sensor are disposed in parallel to the liquid-cooling system.
