AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention aims to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs for heating electronic equipment. The heating system is designed to protect the equipment from overheating and to alert the user when the temperature in the vessel reaches a certain level. This allows for timely adjustments to prevent damage to the equipment.

Problems solved by technology

Data centers come in various sizes and types and tend to consume a relatively high amount of (electrical) energy for its operation.
Energy consumption may form a central issue for data centers, which may range from a few kW or even lower for a rack of servers in a datacenter closet to several tens of MW for large datacenter facilities.

Embodiment Construction

[0120]FIG. 1 shows a heating system 1 for heating by means of a processing unit 2. The heating system 1 comprises at least one processing unit 2 having at least one processor for performing computational tasks. The heating system 1 further comprises a container unit 4 for holding a medium 10 held inside the container unit 4. The at least one processing unit 2 is thermally coupled with at least a portion 6 of the container unit 4 by means of heat pipes 8, here two heat pipes 8, arranged for transferring thermal energy produced by the at least one processing unit 2 to the at least one portion 6 of the container unit 4 for heating medium 10 inside the container unit 4. In this example, the processing unit 2 is arranged below or underneath the container unit 4 with the gravitational force directed downwards. This can be beneficial for the heat pipes 8, wherein as a result of the gravitational force G the condensed liquid from vapour inside the heat pipe 8 at an upper side 8a of the heat...

Abstract

A heating system and method for heating by means of at least one processing unit having at least one processor for performing computational tasks. A container unit is arranged for holding a medium, wherein the at least one processing unit is thermally coupled with at least a portion of the container unit for transferring thermal energy produced by the at least one processing unit to the at least one portion of the container unit for heating medium inside the container unit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to heating systems, and methods for heating. The invention further relates to a container unit for heat storage.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Heating systems are extensively used for providing heating to a designated space and / or for heating a designated medium for example for the provision of hot water in a building or facility. Heating may be performed by using a combustion heating system, e.g. using natural gas, oil fuel, wood pellets, etc., a heat pump system, solar heating system and / or an electrical heating system. Other heating systems are also well known. However, there exists a constant need for improvement of the efficiency of these heating systems. An efficient use of energy during heat generation and heat transfer may play an important role for the reduction of net energy consumption and hence also the emissions of greenhouse gases. Rising costs of energy resources such as fossil fuels is expected to become a relevant ...
