Abstract
An information handling system includes a system board comprising at least one electronic component. The information handling system also includes an internal cooling system in fluid communication with a cooling distribution unit. The cooling distribution unit selectively circulates liquid coolant through the internal cooling system. The information handling system also includes a fluid reactive leak detection zone adjacent one or more components of the internal cooling system. The fluid reactive leak detection zone comprises a coating that reacts to the presence of a fluid.
Claims20
An information handling system, comprising:
- a system board comprising at least one electronic component;
- an internal cooling system in fluid communication with a cooling distribution unit, wherein the cooling distribution unit selectively circulates liquid coolant through the internal cooling system;
- and
- a fluid reactive leak detection zone adjacent one or more components of the internal cooling system, wherein the fluid reactive leak detection zone comprises a coating that reacts to the presence of a fluid.
A method comprising:
- creating a water reactive leak detection zone within an information handling system;
- creating a leak monitoring zone that overlaps the water reactive leak detection zone;
- and
- monitoring the leak detection zone for one or leak indicators.
An information handling system, comprising:
- a system board comprising at least one central processing unit;
- an internal cooling system in fluid communication with a cooling distribution unit, wherein the cooling distribution unit selectively circulates liquid coolant through the internal cooling system, the internal cooling system including a cooling plate adjacent the central processing unit;
- a water reactive leak detection zone, wherein the water reactive leak detection zone comprises a coating applied to at least the cooling plate, wherein coating fluoresces when wetted with water;
- and
- a leak monitoring zone overlapping the water reactive leak detection zone.
