Patent ID: 8850816

Claim:
A power regeneration system for use with an information handling system, the power regeneration system comprising: a thermosiphon disposed in a chamber and in thermal communication with a heated component of the information handling system, the thermosiphon configured to convert a cooling fluid from a liquid to a gaseous state as the cooling fluid absorbs heat from the heated component of the information handling system, the thermosiphon including a reservoir of the cooling fluid in the liquid state; a turbine disposed in the chamber with the thermosiphon and configured to extract energy from the cooling fluid in the gaseous state after it leaves the thermosiphon, the turbine located directly above and separate from the reservoir of the cooling fluid; a condenser configured to remove thermal energy from the cooling fluid after it leaves the turbine, the condenser converting the cooling fluid from a gaseous state to a liquid state as thermal energy is removed; and a fluid flow loop connecting the thermosiphon, the turbine, and the condenser in order so that the cooling fluid flows in a closed loop through the power regeneration system, wherein the turbine and the thermosiphon are vertically aligned and the condenser is offset from the turbine and thermosiphon.
