Abstract
A system may include a chassis having a pair of stationary rails mechanically coupled thereto. Each stationary rail may receive a corresponding telescoping sliding rail. Each stationary rail/sliding rail combination may be configured to convey a cooling fluid to or from a heat exchanger.
Claims14
A method for cooling chassis racks housing information handling resources, the method comprising:
- receiving a cooling fluid from an external fluidic source at a chassis rack housing an information handling resource;
- fluidically directing the cooling fluid to a first stationary rail included in the chassis rack, wherein the cooling fluid is internally carried through at least a portion of the first stationary rail;
- fluidically directing the cooling fluid from the first stationary rail to a first sliding rail included in the chassis rack, wherein first sliding rail is concentrically movable with respect to the first stationary rail, and wherein the cooling fluid is internally carried through at least a portion of the first sliding rail;
- and
- fluidically directing the cooling fluid from the first sliding rail to a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the information handling resource.

A chassis rack for housing information handling resources, the chassis rack comprising:
- an information handling resource;
- a first stationary rail fluidically coupled to receive a cooling fluid from an external fluidic source, wherein the first stationary rail carries the cooling liquid internally through at least a portion of the first stationary rail;
- a first sliding rail concentrically movable with respect to the first stationary rail, wherein the first sliding rail is fluidically coupled to the first stationary rail to receive the cooling fluid from the first stationary rail and carry the cooling liquid internally through at least a portion of the first sliding rail;
- and
- a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the information handling resource and fluidically coupled to the first sliding rail, wherein the heat exchanger receives the cooling fluid from the first sliding rail and carries the cooling liquid internally through at least a portion of the heat exchanger, and wherein the heat exchanger transfers heat from the information handling resource to the cooling fluid.
