Abstract
An example apparatus is provided herein. The apparatus includes a coolant distribution unit and a liquid cooled sub-ambient unit. The coolant distribution unit provides a liquid to a set of liquid cooled cold plates to cool a first electronic component. The liquid cooled sub-ambient unit provides air to cool a second electronic component.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a coolant distribution unit that provides liquid at an ambient temperature to a set of liquid cooled cold plates to cool a first electronic component;
- a liquid cooled sub-ambient unit that provides air at a sub-ambient temperature to cool a second electronic component;
- a liquid supply line that provides the coolant distribution unit and the liquid cooled sub-ambient unit liquid from a facility supply source;
- and
- a liquid return line that receives liquid from the coolant distribution unit and the liquid cooled sub-ambient unit.

A system comprising:
- a set of electronic components;
- a coolant distribution unit with at least one liquid cooled cold plate to cool a first electronic component of the set of electronic components using liquid at an ambient temperature distributed to the at least one liquid cooled cold plate;
- a liquid cooled sub-ambient unit that provides air at a sub-ambient temperature to cool a second electronic component of the set of electronic components;
- and
- a control unit connected to the set of electronic components to coordinate the operation of the coolant distribution unit and the liquid cooled sub-ambient unit.

A method comprising:
- liquid cooling a first set of electronic components using a coolant distribution unit providing liquid at an ambient temperature;
- air cooling a second set of electronic components using a liquid cooled sub-ambient unit providing air at a sub-ambient temperature;
- recapturing liquid from the coolant distribution unit and the liquid cooled sub-ambient unit;
- and
- using the recaptured liquid as an energy source for a facility.
