Abstract:
1. A modular computer system for mounting in a multi-tiered support, comprising: a computer chassis configured for mounting in the multi-tiered support; a first computer component within the computer chassis; an evaporator in thermal communication with the first computer component, the evaporator being configured to dissipate heat from the first computer component by using that heat to drive a stream of liquid coolant through a phase change into a stream of coolant vapor; a condenser configured to dissipate heat from the stream of coolant vapor to add liquid coolant to the stream of liquid coolant; an air mover configured to cool the condenser; and one or more additional computer components within the computer chassis, wherein the air mover causes airflow that directly cools the one or more additional components; wherein the air mover draws air through the condenser, and blows air toward the one or more additional computer components.
