Immersion cooling system with phoretic force particulate collection

A particle collector for an immersion cooling system, the particle collector comprising:

• an input port to receive an electrically insulating liquid into which an electronic circuit is to be immersed, a chamber of the immersion cooling system to hold the electrically insulating liquid;
• an output port to emit the electrically insulating liquid;
• and
• a plurality of baffles separately coupled to one or more walls of the particle collector, the plurality of baffles to create regions of slower movement of the electrically insulating liquid within the particle collector, one or more of the plurality of baffles to be electrified to induce phoretic forces within the particle collector that cause particles to collect within the particle collector.

A system comprising:

• an electronic circuit board;
• and
• an immersion cooling system including:
• a chamber to hold an electrically insulating liquid, the electronic circuit board to be immersed in the electrically insulating liquid;
• a particle collector to collect particles from the electrically insulating liquid, the particle collector including:
• an input port to receive the electrically insulating liquid;
• an output port to emit the electrically insulating liquid;
• a plurality of baffles separately coupled to one or more walls of the particle collector, the plurality of baffles to create regions of slower movement of the electrically insulating liquid within the particle collector, one or more of the plurality of baffles to be electrified to induce phoretic forces within the particle collector that cause the particles to collect within the particle collector;
• and
• a sensor within the electrically insulating liquid to detect a certain type of particle within the electrically insulating liquid.

A method comprising:

• immersing an electronic circuit board within an electrically insulating liquid, a chamber of an immersion cooling system to hold the electrically insulating liquid in which the electronic circuit board is to be immersed, the immersion cooling system including an input port to receive the electrically insulating liquid and an output port to emit the electrically insulating liquid;
• electrifying one or more baffles of a plurality of baffles to induce phoretic forces within the electrically insulating liquid while the electronic circuit board is in a powered off state to collect, at a particle collector, particles within the electrically insulating liquid, the plurality of baffles separately coupled to one or more walls of the particle collector, the plurality of baffles to create regions of slower movement of the electrically insulating liquid within the particle collector;
• and
• after a period of time following the electrification of the one or more baffles, causing the electronic circuit board to be powered on.
