1 TARIFF Autonomous Leak Detection and Redundant Line Structure for Liquid Cooled Systems. Insulation System Technical Area 5 This invention provides liquid-based direct cooling for use in high-density computing systems. (Direct Cooling) technologies; specifically, connections that carry refrigerant. Leaks that may occur at these points can be autonomously addressed by local control mechanisms. detected and isolated via redundant line architecture without disrupting cooling continuity. It relates to the secure connection system that provides 10. State of the Current Technology In traditional data center cooling solutions, leak detection is usually located outside the server. This is done using floor sensors or under-rack moisture sensors. With these methods, leaks can only be detected... It can be detected when it reaches a critical level, and intervention is necessary throughout the entire cooling cycle (loop). This requires closure. In current technology, the leak is at the hardware level (chip / port) 15 the source is identified and the faulty line is disabled while the system continues to operate. There is no integrated autonomous mechanism that enables its release. Purpose of the Invention The main purpose of the invention is to detect microleaks in liquid cooling lines while they are still in the formation stage and by identifying the leak at the connection point, physically shutting off the leaking line and installing a redundant 20 The purpose of the (redundant) secondary line is to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the cooling process. This allows... This prevents hardware damage and ensures service continuity, which is critical in data centers. Uptime is preserved.
