Abstract:
A data center cooling system includes a server rack sub-assembly that includes a motherboard mounted on a support member and a heat generating electronic devices mounted on the a motherboard; a cold plate positioned in thermal communication with at least a portion of the heat generating electronic devices, the cold plate configured to receive a flow of a cooling liquid circulated through a supply conduit fluidly coupled to a liquid inlet of the cold plate, through the cold plate, and through a return conduit fluidly coupled to a liquid outlet of the cold plate; and a modulating control valve attached to either of the motherboard or the support member and positioned in either of the supply conduit or the return conduit, the modulating control valve configured to adjust a rate of the flow of the cooling liquid based on an operating condition of at least one of the heat generating electronic devices.

Claim (Index 30):
A method for cooling heat generating devices in a data center, comprising:\n circulating a flow of a cooling liquid to a server rack sub-assembly that comprises at least one motherboard mounted on a support member and a plurality of heat generating electronic devices mounted on the at least one motherboard; circulating the flow of the cooling liquid through a supply conduit to a liquid inlet of at least one cold plate positioned in thermal communication with at least a portion of the plurality of heat generating electronic devices; circulating the flow of the cooling liquid through the at least one cold plate to receive heat into the cooling liquid from the portion of the plurality of heat generating electronic devices; circulating the flow of the heated cooling liquid from a liquid outlet of the at least one cold plate through a return conduit; and controlling a modulating control valve attached to the server rack sub-assembly to adjust a rate of the flow of the cooling liquid based at least in part on an operating condition of at least one of the plurality of heat generating electronic devices; determining a value of the operating condition of the at least one heat generating electronic device, the determining comprising:\n determining an operating temperature for each of the plurality heat generating electronic devices, \n determining a maximum operating temperature from the determined operating temperatures, and \n calculating a thermal margin between the maximum operating temperature and at least one of the operating temperatures; and \n adjusting the modulating control valve to open or close based on the determined value.
