One aspect described in this application provides an apparatus that includes an external tray hose with an integrated booster pump for cooling a computing device. The booster pump can boost fluid flow and fluid pressure of coolant fluid pumped toward the computing device on a server tray. The booster pump includes a stator mounted around a booster pump housing with a bore. The stator includes one or more C-shaped lamination stacks for supporting coil windings. Energized coil windings generate a varying magnetic field for rotating an impeller within a housing bore to pump fluid along the housing bore of the booster pump. The apparatus includes a monitor module to monitor a set of sensors to obtain information about one or more of fluid temperature, fluid pressure, and device temperature; and a control module to adjust performance of the booster pump based on the information obtained from the set of sensors.

A heat removal apparatus may comprise a vapor chamber device and a cover coupled to the vapor chamber device. The vapor chamber device comprises a base, a folded fin structure coupled to the base, with the base and folded fin structure defining a vapor chamber containing a wick and a working fluid. The cover and the vapor chamber device define a liquid chamber configured to receive liquid coolant. The folded fin structure comprises a plurality of folded fins defining a first plurality of grooves on a first side of the folded fin structure and defining a second plurality of grooves on a second side of the folded fin structure. The first plurality of grooves are part of the vapor chamber. The second plurality of grooves are part of the liquid chamber.

A pair of fluid couplings for liquid cooling electronic devices comprises a first fluid coupling and second fluid coupling. The first fluid coupling comprises a female coupling interface and the second fluid coupling comprises a male coupling interface to couple with the female coupling interface. Each of the fluid couplings comprises a magnetic latch assembly coupled to the coupling interface thereof. Each magnetic latch assembly comprises a shell, magnets housed within the shell, and a group of ramp-and-hook latches coupled to the shell. The magnets cause the magnetic latch assemblies to magnetically attract one another during coupling, reducing the force a user may need to apply to complete the coupling. The ramp-and-hook latches of one magnetic latch assembly are complementary to the ramp-and-hook latches of the other magnetic latch assembly, and they are arranged to engage with one another and interlock when the first and second fluid couplings are coupled.

Fluid couplings with magnetic latch assembly

Example implementations relate to an electronic system providing thermal management of a removable device when connected to a host device of the electronic system including a receptacle, and a heat transfer device having first and second portions. The host device has a cooling component. The removable device having a heat spreader, is detachably coupled to the host device. The receptacle having spring fingers, is coupled to one of the cooling component or the heat spreader. The first portion is coupled to one of the cooling component or the heat spreader, and the second portion is protruded outwards. When the removable device is connected to the host device, the second portion extends through the receptacle such that the spring fingers establish direct thermal interface with the second portion to allow waste-heat to transfer between the heat transfer device and one of the cooling component or the heat spreader via the receptacle.

A system chassis may comprise a frame having a width, depth, and height and a plurality of divider walls coupled to the frame and forming a plurality of receptacles each configured to receive an electronics tray containing an electronic assembly. Each of the plurality of divider walls comprises a metal sheet having a front edge, a back edge, and two lateral edges, the two lateral edges attached to two lateral walls of the frame. The front edge of the metal sheet has a concave shape such that a distance between the front edge and the back edge of the metal sheet continuously decreases while moving laterally from one lateral edge to a center of the front edge and continuously increases while moving laterally from the center to the opposite lateral edge.

An example axial pump for delivering liquid coolant to cool an electronic device comprises a conduit defining a flow path from an inlet of the conduit to an outlet of the conduit and an impeller in the conduit. The impeller is rotatable about an axis of rotation parallel to the flow path. The pump also has a motor stator configured to drive rotation of the impeller body about the axis of rotation. In addition, the pump comprises an adjustment mechanism coupling the impeller to the conduit. The adjustment mechanism is actuatable to cause translation of the impeller relative to the conduit. This may allow for adjustment of a clearance between a blade tip of a blade of the impeller and a wall of the conduit.
