Abstract:
1. A computer cooling system comprising: a housing having a cap, a base member and a mid-portion positioned between and removably coupled with the cap and the base member, wherein the cap and the mid-portion define a reservoir therebetween and the cap defines a recessed inner wall in fluid communication with the reservoir; wherein the mid-portion defines a recessed impeller chamber configured to receive a pump impeller, wherein the mid-portion further defines a retainer positioned between the impeller chamber and the reservoir; wherein the impeller chamber and the reservoir are positioned directly adjacent to each other and fluidicly coupled with each other by a port configured to permit a liquid coolant to pass directly therebetween; a resiliently compressible member positioned within the reservoir and configured to resiliently compress in response to a volumetric expansion of the liquid coolant; wherein the retainer contacts the resiliently compressible member to prevent the resiliently compressible member from moving out of the reservoir or into a position blocking a liquid coolant flow through the port.
