Fluid immersion cooling system for electronic components
The granted patent US12029012B2 describes a fluid immersion cooling system designed to enhance the thermal management of electronic components, particularly central processing units (CPUs). The system features a fluid tank that houses a component of an electronic system immersed in a dual-phase coolant fluid, which is in a liquid state. This dual-phase coolant fluid is characterized by a higher density and a lower boiling point compared to a first single-phase coolant fluid, which is immiscible and positioned above the dual-phase layer. Additionally, a second single-phase coolant fluid, also immiscible, is layered above the first single-phase coolant fluid. This multi-layered approach aims to optimize cooling efficiency by utilizing the distinct properties of each fluid.
Further enhancements to the cooling system include a cooler unit connected to the fluid tank's inlet and outlet, designed to circulate and cool the first single-phase coolant fluid. The system also incorporates a condenser situated above the first single-phase coolant layer, which is tasked with collecting and condensing vapor bubbles from the dual-phase coolant fluid that escape containment. The first single-phase coolant fluid may consist of dielectric oil, while the dual-phase coolant fluid can be a fluorochemical, both of which contribute to the system's effectiveness in managing heat generated by electronic components. Overall, this innovative cooling system presents a structured solution for improving the thermal performance of electronic systems.
