Abstract
A water wall is provided herein. An example water wall includes a top member, a thermal member, an orifice member, and a manifold member. The top member to expose a portion of a thermal module. The thermal member to position and hold the thermal module in the water wall. The orifice member to provide a supply passage and a return passage to the thermal module. The, manifold member to distribute fluid across the water wall.
Claims15
A water wall comprising:
- a top member including an aperture to expose a portion of a thermal module:
- a thermal member to position and hold the thermal module in the water wall;
- an orifice member to provide a supply passage and a return passage to the thermal module;
- and
- a manifold member to distribute fluid across the water wall.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a thermal module coupled to a water wall to remove heat from an electronic module;
- the water wall including:
- a top member to receive the thermal module and mate a portion of the thermal module with an electronic module, the top member to provide a first seal of the water wall,
- a thermal member to maintain the thermal module in the water wall,
- an orifice member to provide a pair of passages to the thermal module, the pair of passages to provide fluid to the thermal module and remove fluid from the thermal module,
- a manifold member to uniformly distribute fluid across the water wall, and
- a back member positioned on a side of the water wall opposite the top member to provide a second seal for the water wall;
- a supply connection to provide fluid to the water wall;
- and
- a return connection to receive fluid from the water wall.
7 more elements
A method to distribute fluid across s water wall, the method comprising:
- providing a water wall, the water wall includes:
- a top member to receive the thermal module and mate a portion of the thermal module with an electronic module, the top member to provide a first fluid-tight seal on a first side of the water wall facing an electronic module,
- a thermal member to retain the thermal module in the water wall,
- an orifice member to provide fluid to the thermal module and remove fluid from the thermal module,
- a manifold member to distribute fluid across the water wall in a pattern traversing the manifold member in regular pattern, and
- a back member positioned on a side of the water wall opposite the top member to provide a second fluid-tight seal for the water wall:
- dispensing fluid to the water wall via a supply aperture connected to a supply connection on the water wall;
- and
- removing fluid from the water wall via a return aperture connected to a return connection on the water wall.
