Abstract
A redundancy shut-off system for a datacenter liquid cooling system is disclosed. The redundancy shut-off system has a first ball valve located above a datacenter platform and coupling between a row manifold of a secondary cooling loop and a rack manifold of a rack, where the first ball valve provides redundancy to a second ball valve located below the datacenter platform.
Claims24
A redundancy shut-off system for a datacenter liquid cooling system, comprising a first ball valve located above a datacenter platform and coupling between a row manifold of a secondary cooling loop and a rack manifold of a rack, the first ball valve to enable redundancy to a second ball valve located below the datacenter platform.
A datacenter liquid cooling system, comprising:
- a first ball valve located above a datacenter platform;
- a second ball valve located below the datacenter platform;
- and
- a liquid line to be coupled between a row manifold of a secondary cooling loop and a rack manifold of a rack, the liquid line to comprise the first ball valve and the second ball valve between the rack manifold and the row manifold, the first ball valve to shut-off to a liquid flow within the liquid line independent of the second ball valve.
A method for redundancy in datacenter liquid cooling system, the method comprising:
- locating a first ball valve above a datacenter platform;
- locating a second ball valve below the datacenter platform;
- and
- coupling a liquid line between a row manifold of a secondary cooling loop and a rack manifold of a rack, the liquid line to comprise the first ball valve and the second ball valve between the rack manifold and the row manifold, the first ball valve to shut-off to a liquid flow within the liquid line independent of the second ball valve.
