Abstract:
1. A blade server on which a plurality of server modules and one or more fan modules are mountable, wherein: each of the server modules comprises an enclosure, the enclosure accommodating therein a motherboard on which electronic components including a CPU, a memory, and a semiconductor device chip set are mounted, and a part of a boil cooling device for cooling heat generated by the CPU, a fan accommodated in a fan module unit is adapted to blow air into the server module through the server module enclosure, the boil cooling device comprises a first heat transmission member disposed in the server module enclosure, a second heat transmission member disposed outside the server module enclosure, and first and second pipes that connect the first heat transmission member and the second heat transmission member, the first heat transmission member is a box body with an internal space for hermetically sealing a refrigerant therein, one external planar face of the box body being thermally connected to the CPU, and the other external planar face opposite thereto being provided with a heat sink that includes a heat sink fin and a heat sink basement, the second heat transmission member is disposed in the fan module unit, and a heat radiation member, which is provided for the first and second pipes, and the motherboard together form an airflow passage of the fan module, and a vaporized refrigerant flows from the first heat transmission member to the second heat transmission member through the first pipe, and a liquefied refrigerant flows from the second heat transmission member to the first heat transmission member through the second pipe, wherein the first pipe includes a vaporized-refrigerant outlet and a vaporized-refrigerant inlet with the vaporized-refrigerant outlet being disposed at a higher level than the vaporized-refrigerant inlet in a Z-axis direction in case that the cooling device is used with its XY plane positioned horizontally; wherein the second pipe includes liquefied-refrigerant outlet and a liquefied-refrigerant inlet with the liquefied-refrigerant outlet being disposed at a lower level than the liquefied-refrigerant inlet in the an X-axis direction in case that the cooling device is used with its ZY plane positioned horizontally; where the X-axis is perpendicular to the airflow from the heat sink basement to the tip of the heat sink fin, the Y-axis is in the direction of the airflow from the first transmission member to the second transmission member, and the Z-axis is perpendicular to the airflow in the direction from the second pipe to the first pipe.
