Abstract
A fluid removal subsystem to excise leaked coolant from an information handling system includes an electric self-priming pump. The electric self-priming pump is encased in a housing sized to fit entirely within a chassis of the information handling system. An intake port and an outtake port are formed in the housing. Intake tubing may be connected with the intake port, and outtake tubing connected with the outtake port. The electric self-priming pump is configured to draw fluid within the chassis into the intake tubing and discharge the fluid through the outtake tubing to thereby remove at least a portion of the fluid from the chassis.
Claims20
A fluid removal subsystem of an information handling system, the fluid removal subsystem comprising:
- an electric self-priming pump, wherein the electric self-priming pump is encased in a housing sized to fit entirely within a chassis of the information handling system and including an intake port and outtake port;
- intake tubing connected to the intake port;
- and
- outtake tubing connected to the outtake port,
- wherein the electric self-priming pump is configured to draw fluid within the chassis into the intake tubing and discharge the fluid through the outtake tubing to thereby remove at least a portion of the fluid from the chassis.
A method of excising leaked coolant from an information handling system, the method comprising:
- drawing fluid from a chassis of the information handling system into intake tubing in response to suction created by an electric self-priming pump connected with the intake tubing;
- and
- discharging the fluid through outtake tubing connected with the electric self-priming pump to remove at least a portion of the fluid from the chassis of the information handling system,
- wherein the electric self-priming pump is encased in a housing sized to fit entirely within the chassis of the information handling system.
A liquid-cooled information handling system, comprising:
- a chassis;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a fluid removal subsystem, the fluid removal subsystem including:
- an electric self-priming pump located near the processors in the chassis, wherein the electric self-priming pump is encased in a housing sized to fit entirely within the chassis of the liquid-cooled information handling system and including an intake port and outtake port;
- intake tubing connected with the electric self-priming pump via the intake port;
- and
- outtake tubing connected with the electric self-priming pump via the outtake port,
- wherein the electric self-priming pump is configured to draw fluid within the chassis into the intake tubing and discharge the fluid through the outtake tubing to remove at least a portion of the fluid from the chassis.
