Abstract
Systems and methods for a datacenter cooling system are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, reconfigurable terminations are provided for fluid loops in a datacenter cooling system with individual ones of such reconfigurable terminations are to be configured in a first state to enable non-cooling fluid runs through individual ones of such fluid loops, taken individually and in combination, during commissioning of a datacenter cooling system, and are to be configured in a second state to enable cooling fluid runs to cool at least one cold plate after commissioning of a datacenter cooling system.
Claims20
A datacenter cooling system, comprising:
- a plurality of reconfigurable terminations for a plurality of fluid loops, individual ones of the plurality of reconfigurable terminations to be configured in a first state to enable non-cooling fluid runs through individual ones of the plurality of fluid loops, taken individually and in combination, during commissioning of the datacenter cooling system, and to be configured in a second state to enable cooling fluid runs to cool at least one cold plate after commissioning of the datacenter cooling system.
A processor comprising one or more circuits and associated with a plurality of reconfigurable terminations to be configured in a first state to enable non-cooling fluid runs through individual ones of a plurality of fluid loops, taken individually and in combination, during commissioning of a datacenter cooling system, and to be configured in a second state to enable cooling fluid runs to cool at least one cold plate after commissioning of the datacenter cooling system, the one or more circuits to receive state information for the plurality of reconfigurable terminations and the processor to enable the non-cooling fluid runs and the cooling fluid runs.
A method for datacenter cooling system, comprising:
- providing a plurality of reconfigurable terminations for a plurality of fluid loops in the datacenter cooling system;
- determining a state of the datacenter cooling system, a first state to be associated with commissioning of the datacenter cooling system and a second state associated with the datacenter cooling system after it is commissioned;
- enabling individual ones of the plurality of reconfigurable terminations to be configured for the first state to enable non-cooling fluid runs through individual ones of the plurality of fluid loops, taken individually and in combination, during the commissioning of the datacenter cooling system;
- and
- enabling the individual ones of the plurality of reconfigurable terminations to be configured in the second state to enable cooling fluid runs to cool at least one cold plate after the commissioning of the datacenter cooling system.
