Abstract
An example cooling system includes a power source, a first pump cassette configured to circulate fluid through the cooling system, and a second pump cassette configured to circulate fluid through the cooling system. The first pump cassette is connected to the power source and includes a first inrush current limiter circuit and a first pump controller. The second pump cassette is also connected to the power source and includes a second inrush current limiter circuit and a second pump controller. The first inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the first pump controller, and the second inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the second pump controller.
Claims20
A cooling system, comprising:
- a power source;
- a first pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system, the first pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a first inrush current limiter circuit and a first pump controller;
- and
- a second pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system in parallel with the first pump cassette, the second pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a second inrush current limiter circuit and a second pump controller;
- wherein the first inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the first pump controller, the first inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the first pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the first pump controller;
- and
- wherein the second inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the second pump controller, the second inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the second pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the second pump controller.
A cooling system, comprising:
- a power source;
- a first pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system, the first pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a first inrush current limiter circuit and a first pump controller;
- and
- a second pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system, the second pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a second inrush current limiter circuit and a second pump controller;
- wherein the first inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the first pump controller, the first inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the first pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the first pump controller;
- and
- wherein the second inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the second pump controller, the second inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the second pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the second pump controller.
A cooling system, comprising:
- a power source;
- a first pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system, the first pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a first inrush current limiter circuit and a first pump controller, the first pump cassette being hot-swappable such that the first pump cassette is removable from the cooling system without causing the cooling system to shut down;
- and
- a second pump cassette to circulate fluid through the cooling system, the second pump cassette connected to the power source and comprising a second inrush current limiter circuit and a second pump controller, the second pump cassette being hot-swappable such that the second pump cassette is removable from the cooling system without causing the cooling system to shut down;
- wherein the first inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the first pump controller, the first inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the first pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the first pump controller;
- and
- wherein the second inrush current limiter circuit is connected in series between the power source and the second pump controller, the second inrush current limiter circuit being configured to electrically isolate the second pump controller from the power source by limiting current flow from the power source to the second pump controller.
