Abstract

Disclosed herein is a data center having a plurality of liquid cooled computer systems. The computer systems each include a processor coupled with a cold plate that allows direct liquid cooling of the processor. The cold plate is further arranged to provide adapted flow of coolant to different portions of the processor whereby higher temperature regions receive a larger flow rate of coolant. The flow is variably adjusted to reflect different levels of activity. By maximizing the coolant temperature exiting the computer systems, the system may utilize the free cooling temperature of the ambient air and eliminate the need for a chiller. A data center is further provided that is coupled with a district heating system and heat is extracted from the computer systems is used to offset carbon emissions and reduce the total cost of ownership of the data center.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data centers with liquid cooled computers and, more particularly, to data centers with cooling systems that maximize the cooling liquid output temperature while maintaining the desired processor chip temperature. Background technique [0002] A data center is a facility that houses a large number of computer systems. These computer systems are arranged to provide computer processing services to users. Typically, computer systems are housed in racks that electrically connect individual computers to users and to other computers. A standard-sized rack can hold anywhere from 40 to 80 computer systems. The computer system may include a number of components including one or more processors, microcontrollers, semiconductors, memory devices, and the like. Each data center can have many racks with computer systems operating simultaneously. [0003] During operation, computer systems generate large amounts of heat energy. Ty...
