Abstract
Heat transfer systems for computer server(s) employing a heat transfer means (e.g., circulating fluid, thermally conductive material, etc.) to transfer heat from the heat source (e.g., computer server(s), fireplace, wood stove or other heat source) to a remote location of a home, residence, building or other structure.
Claims19
A heat transfer system for transferring thermal energy from a heat source to a heat radiator, said heat transfer system comprising:
- (a) at least one heat sink adapted to receive thermal energy from said heat source, wherein the heat source is a computer server at a location and said at least one heat sink is adapted to be placed adjacent to or placed on top of said computer server;
- (b) a heat radiator adapted to convey thermal energy from the computer server to a different location;
- (c) a conduit for transferring heat from said at least one heat sink to said heat radiator;
- and
- (d) at least one pump to move a fluid around a circuit including said conduit, said at least one heat sink and heat radiator, wherein the pump is not incorporated within the at least one heat sink;
- wherein said conduit has a length greater than 8 feet;
- and
- wherein said at least one heat sink comprises an inlet for receiving a heat transfer fluid and an outlet for emitting said heat transfer fluid and wherein said at least one heat sink comprises passages therein for internally flowing said heat transfer fluid.
