However, this does not take into account differences in the types of demand for computer equipment, especially personal electronic equipment
As a result, the operating temperature of electronic equipment may be kept at temperatures well below safe temperatures, wasting thermal energy unnecessarily

Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 The apparatus 10 shown in includes a housing 12 within which are mounted two coolant distribution units (CDUs) 14 and 16 . The presence of two such units provides redundancy so that if one of the CDUs fails, the other is able to take over.

[0036] Each CDU 14 and 16 is provided with a pump 18 and a heat exchanger 20 . An output from the pump 18 is connected to supply coolant from the pump 18 into a fluid passage or supply line in the form of a hose or pipe 22 towards computer equipment comprising a plurality of servers 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 . Hoses or pipes 22 are connected via top pipes 31 to respective internal coolant input manifolds 32 , 34 , 36 and 38 of servers 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 .

[0037] Each server 24, 26, 28, and 30 includes stacks of printed circuit boards 40, each of which carries a plurality of electronic components, a respective heat sink 42 surrounded by a corresponding housing or jacket 44, each and every A housing or sheath 44 is connected ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of cooling computer equipment (24, 26, 28, 30), and the equipment comprises an electronic devices with multiple heat sinks (42). The method includes the steps: pumpingcoolant into a passageway leading to the computer equipment and distributing the coolant from the said passageway to the heat sinks; iteratively adjusting the rate of cooling of the electronic devices by the coolant which is pumped into the said passageway (22) directly or indirectly in dependence upon the heat generated by the electronic devices; monitoring the respective temperatures (ti) of the electronic devices or heat conductive material in thermal contact therewith and iteratively adjusting the rate of cooling of the electronic devices by the coolant which is pumped into the said passageway directly or indirectly in dependence upon the said respective temperatures (ti).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of cooling computer equipment comprising a plurality of electronic equipment with corresponding heat sinks, the method comprising: [0002] - Pump coolant into channels leading to computer equipment; [0003] - distribute the coolant from said channels to the radiator; [0004] - Iterative regulation of the cooling rate of the electronics by means of coolant pumped directly or indirectly into the channels according to the heat generated by the electronics. Background technique [0005] In this previously proposed method, the flow rate of the coolant is adjusted according to the total difference (Δt) between the temperature of the coolant at the inlet and the temperature of the coolant at the outlet of the computer device. However, this does not take into account differences in the types of demand for computing equipment, especially personal electronic equipment. As a result, the operating temperature of elec...
