Abstract
A cooling system for a rack-mount server includes a fan disposed within the rack-mount server and configured to produce an airflow through the rack-mount server, and a heat exchanger disposed within the rack-mount server in a path of the airflow through the rack-mount server. The heat exchanger includes a liquid circulation path structure and an airflow path structure. The airflow path structure is configured to shield electromagnetic interference.
Claims10
A cooling system for a rack-mount server comprising:
- a fan disposed within the rack-mount server and configured to produce an airflow through the rack-mount server;
- and
- a heat exchanger disposed within the rack-mount server in a path of the airflow through the rack-mount server,
- wherein the heat exchanger comprises a coolant circulation path structure and an airflow path structure in thermal contact, and
- wherein the airflow path structure comprises a plurality of apertures having no dimension equal to or greater than three millimeters such that the plurality of apertures allow airflow therethrough while to shielding electromagnetic interference.

A heat exchanger comprising:
- a coolant circulation path structure for circulating coolant;
- and
- an airflow path structure in thermal contact with the coolant circulation path structure such that heat from air passing through the airflow path structure transfers to the coolant,
- wherein the airflow path structure comprises a plurality of apertures having no dimension equal to or greater than three millimeters such that the plurality of apertures allow airflow therethrough while shielding electromagnetic interference.
