Abstract
Example method and apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for immersion cooling systems are disclosed herein. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a tank to hold a coolant, an overflow chamber to direct the coolant toward an outlet, and a plate within the overflow chamber, the plate including a plurality of openings, the coolant to pass through at least one of the plurality of openings before reaching the outlet.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a tank to hold a coolant;
- an overflow chamber to direct the coolant toward an outlet;
- and
- a plate within the overflow chamber, the plate including a plurality of openings, the coolant to pass through at least one of the plurality of openings before reaching the outlet, the plurality of openings including a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, the first opening adjacent to the outlet, the second opening distal to the outlet, the third opening between the first opening and the second opening, the second opening larger than the third opening, and the third opening larger than the first opening.

A system including:
- a coolant distribution unit including:
- a first flow path including a first pump and a first heat exchanger;
- and
- a second flow path including a second pump and a second heat exchanger;
- an immersion cooling tank including:
- an inlet coupled to the coolant distribution unit;
- and
