Abstract
A thermal management system includes a boiler tank and at least one heat-generating component positioned in the boiler tank. The boiler tank is in fluid communication with a vapor return line and a liquid return line. A condenser is in fluid communication with the vapor return line and the liquid return line. The condenser is positioned between vapor return line and the liquid return line in the fluid communication.
Claims20
A thermal management system comprising:
- a boiler tank;
- at least one heat-generating component positioned in the boiler tank;
- a vapor return line in fluid communication with the boiler tank;
- a liquid return line in fluid communication with the boiler tank;
- and
- a condenser in fluid communication with the vapor return line and the liquid return line and positioned between the vapor return line and the liquid return line in the fluid communication.
A method of installing a thermal management system for computing devices, the method comprising:
- providing a thermal management system;
- connecting a second boiler tank to a vapor return line, the second boiler tank having at least one heat-generating component positioned in the second boiler tank;
- connecting the second boiler tank to a cooling fluid storage tank in fluid communication with a liquid return line;
- and
- filling a portion of the second boiler tank with liquid cooling fluid from the cooling fluid storage tank.
A thermal management system comprising:
- a boiler tank;
- at least one heat-generating component positioned in the boiler tank;
- a vapor return line in fluid communication with the boiler tank;
- a liquid return line in fluid communication with the boiler tank;
- a condenser in fluid communication with the vapor return line and the liquid return line and positioned between the vapor return line and the liquid return line in the fluid communication;
- a second boiler tank in fluid communication with the vapor return line and the liquid return line;
- and
- a cooling fluid storage tank in fluid communication with the boiler tank and the liquid return line and positioned between the boiler tank and the liquid return line in the fluid communication,
- wherein the liquid return line between the cooling fluid storage tank and the first boiler tank and second boiler tank maintains the fluid level in the boiler from the recovered fluid from the condensers.
