Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure may include a system for cooling a computer server including a plurality of server modules. The system may include a first cooling system configured to remove heat from the plurality of server modules, the first cooling system including a first plurality of conduits for circulating a first cooling medium through the first cooling system, a second cooling system configured to remove heat from the first cooling system, the second cooling system including a second plurality of conduits for circulating a second cooling medium through the second cooling system, and a manifold configured to couple the first cooling system and the second cooling system, wherein the first plurality of conduits is removably connected to the manifold.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of cooling a server having a plurality of server modules, the method comprising:\n fluidly connecting the plurality of server module to a fluid distribution and collection manifold mounted to a server rack housing the plurality of server modules, wherein:\n an inlet line of the fluid distribution and collection manifold is configured to receive a first cooling medium from the plurality of server modules through an outlet conduit for each server module; and \n an outlet line of the fluid distribution and collection manifold is configured to feed the first cooling medium to the plurality of server modules through an inlet conduit for each server module; \n wherein each outlet conduit connects to the inlet line and each inlet conduit connects to the outlet line by self-sealing fluid connectors; \n fluidly connecting a plurality of cold plate elements and circulating the first cooling medium through the plurality of cold plate elements, wherein within each of the plurality of server modules one or more cold plate elements are connected to the inlet conduit and outlet conduit for the corresponding server module and each cold plate element is configured to thermally connect to at least one heat generating component within the server module; fluidly connecting a heat exchanger to the inlet line and the outlet line of the fluid distribution and collection manifold, wherein the inlet line delivers the first cooling medium circulated through the plurality of server modules and cold plate elements to the heat exchanger where heat transferred from the heat generating components to the first cooling medium is transferred to a second cooling medium; fluidly connecting and circulating the second cooling medium between the heat exchanger and a cooling device, wherein the cooling device removes heat from the second cooling medium; and circulating the first cooling medium through the plurality of server modules and the plurality of cold plates using a pump; wherein the first cooling medium and the second cooling medium remain fluidly isolated from each other.
