Abstract:
1. A system for cooling a computer server including one or more server modules, the system comprising: a first plurality of conduits for circulating a first cooling medium among the one or more server modules, wherein the first plurality of conduits includes at least one server cold plate dimensioned to thermally connect to at least one heat generating component of the one or more server modules; a second plurality of conduits for circulating a second cooling medium through a cooling device positioned at a location remote from the computer server; and a fluid distribution and collection manifold including: wherein, when connected to the manifold via the first outlet and first inlet fluid connectors, the first plurality of conduits and the first inlet and first outlet lines form a first fluid loop that allows the first cooling medium to circulate between the first plurality of conduits, the first inlet and first outlet lines, and the hot plate to transfer the heat from the one or more server modules to the hot plate; and wherein, when connected to the manifold via the second outlet and second inlet fluid connectors, the second plurality of conduits and the second inlet and second outlet lines form a second fluid loop, separate from the first fluid loop, that allows the second cooling medium to circulate between the second plurality of conduits, the second inlet and second outlet lines, and the cold plate to transfer the heat from the cold plate to the cooling device at the location remote from the computer server.
