Abstract:
1. An apparatus for cooling electronics comprising: a. a fluid-moving means for moving fluid coolant in a closed loop, adapted to permit the coolant to enter the electronics at a temperature T b. a free-cooling means for receiving the coolant downstream of the electronics, adapted to permit the coolant to enter the free-cooling means at a temperature substantially equal to T c. a chilling means for receiving coolant downstream of the free-cooling means, adapted to permit the coolant to enter the chilling means at a temperature substantially equal to T d. a control means for modulating the operation of the chilling means to obtain a pre-determined value of the temperature T e. a first power-measurement means to measure electrical power consumption P f. a second power-measurement means to measure electrical power consumption P g. a computing means, in communication with the control means and with the first and second power-measurement means, for calculating an optimum coolant temperature T
