Abstract
An assembly for directing a fluid flow of a dielectric oil through a server includes shrouds and a manifold including ducts, a recess, cavities, and channels. Each shroud houses a radiator that is connected to a conduit of a heat exchange loop. The manifold is removably coupled to the shrouds. The ducts fluidly connect to the shrouds and are formed along an upper surface of the manifold. The recess receives a lower end of a server. The cavities are formed within the recess, and each cavity houses one or more micropumps that circulate the dielectric oil through the server. The channels fluidly connect the micropumps and the ducts such that the dielectric oil is transferred from the ducts to the micropumps through the channels.
Claims20
An assembly for directing a fluid flow of a dielectric oil through a server, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of shrouds, each shroud configured to house a radiator that is connected to a conduit of a heat exchange loop;
- and
- a manifold configured to be removably coupled to the plurality of shrouds comprising:
- a plurality of ducts, formed along an upper surface of the manifold, configured to fluidly connect to the plurality of shrouds;
- a recess configured to receive a lower end of the server;
- a plurality of cavities formed within the recess, each cavity being configured to house one or more micropumps configured to circulate the dielectric oil through the server;
- and
- a plurality of channels configured to fluidly connect the one or more micropumps and the plurality of ducts, such that the dielectric oil is transferred from the plurality of ducts to the one or more micropumps through the plurality of channels.
A method utilizing an assembly to direct a fluid flow of a dielectric oil through a server, the method comprising:
- housing one or more micropumps within a plurality of cavities formed within a recess of a manifold;
- housing a radiator connected to a conduit of a heat exchange loop within each shroud of a plurality of shrouds;
- receiving a lower end of the server within the recess of the manifold;
- fluidly connecting the plurality of shrouds to the manifold with a plurality of ducts formed along an upper surface of the manifold;
- fluidly connecting the plurality of ducts and the one or more micropumps with a plurality of channels, such that the dielectric oil is transferred from the plurality of ducts to the one or more micropumps through the plurality of channels;
- and
- circulating, by the one or more micropumps, the dielectric oil through the server.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, executed by a processor of a 3D printer, causing the 3D printer to form an assembly by:
- depositing a filament on a substrate in successive, vertically stacked layers with an extrusion nozzle of the 3D printer to form components of the assembly such that the assembly comprises:
- a plurality of shrouds, each shroud configured to house a radiator that is connected to a conduit of a heat exchange loop;
- and
- a manifold configured to be removably coupled to the plurality of shrouds comprising:
- a plurality of ducts, formed along an upper surface of the manifold, configured to fluidly connect to the plurality of shrouds;
- a recess configured to receive a lower end of a server;
- a plurality of cavities formed within the recess, each cavity being configured to house one or more micropumps configured to circulate a dielectric oil through the server;
- and
- a plurality of channels configured to fluidly connect the one or more micropumps and the plurality of ducts, such that the dielectric oil is transferred from the plurality of ducts to the one or more micropumps through the plurality of channels.
