The description relates to cooling electronic components, such as computing devices. One example includes a rack defining a volume and multiple sealed chassis modules removably fluidly coupled to a two-phase condenser tank via a vapor coupler and a liquid coupler. Individual sealed chassis modules can contain one or more electronic components immersed in two-phase coolant that when heated by operation of the electronic components experiences a phase change from a liquid phase to a gas phase and travels to the two-phase condenser tank via the vapor coupler and is cooled in the two-phase condenser tank until experiencing a phase change back into the liquid phase. Individual sealed chassis modules can be decoupled from the two-phase condenser tank without releasing two-phase coolant and an entirety of the multiple sealed chassis modules and the condenser tank are contained in the volume of the rack.

Computer cooling

The description relates to passive two-phase immersion cooling of computers, such as servers. One example can include multiple liquid immersion tanks configured to contain servers immersed in a liquid-phase of a coolant having a boiling point below a maximum operating temperature of the servers such that operation of the servers generates heat that is transferred to the liquid phase of the coolant and causes a portion of the coolant to boil to a gas phase of the coolant. The example can include a single phase separator tank and a single heat exchanger coupled to the multiple liquid immersion tanks as a sealed cooling system and configured to receive the gas phase of the coolant and configured to transition the gas phase of the coolant back to the liquid phase of the coolant and to automatically deliver liquid phase of the coolant to an individual liquid immersion tank responsive to further boiling producing additional gas phase of the coolant that evacuates the individual liquid immersion tank.

Passive two-phase computer cooling

Systems with indium application to heat transfer surfaces and related methods are described. A system includes a chassis, arranged inside a housing, having at least one slot for receiving a blade. The blade, arranged in a slot of the chassis, includes a first circuit board having a plurality of components mounted on a substrate. The blade further includes a first heat spreader comprising a metal. The first heat spreader including metal is arranged to transfer heat from the first circuit board to a cooling system via a first interface between a first surface of the first heat spreader and a second surface of the chassis, and where indium is permanently bonded to either the first surface of the first heat spreader, or the second surface of the chassis, or both the first surface of the first heat spreader and the second surface of the chassis.

Systems with indium application to heat transfer surfaces

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a redox flow battery (RFB) may include a shell, an electrolyte storage tank assembly disposed in the shell, wherein at least a portion of the electrolyte storage tank assembly is supported by the shell, an electrochemical cell, and an electrolyte circulation system configured for fluid communication between the electrolyte storage tank assembly and the electrochemical cell. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolyte storage tank assembly defines a tank assembly heat transfer system between an outer surface of the electrolyte storage tank assembly and an inner surface of the shell. In other embodiments, a pump assembly in the electrolyte circulation system is moveable between a first position and a second position. In other embodiments, a gas management system includes a first gas exchange device in fluid communication with the catholyte headspace and the anolyte.

Flow battery system

Rotary fluid processing systems and associated methods are disclosed. A purification system in accordance with the particular embodiment includes a rotatable adsorbent-containing heat/mass transfer element that is generally symmetric about a rotation axis, and includes multiple radial flow paths oriented transverse to the rotation axis and multiple axial flow paths oriented transverse to the radial flow paths. The axial flow paths and radial flow paths are in thermal communication with each other, and are generally isolated from fluid communication with each other at the heat transfer element. Particular embodiments can further include a housing arrangement having multiple manifolds with individual manifolds having an entry port and an exit port, and with individual manifolds having different circumferential locations relative to the rotation axis. Still further embodiments can include a seal arrangement positioned between the heat transfer element and the housing arrangement to expose the radial flow paths, but not the axial flow paths, to the entry and exit ports of one of the manifolds, and expose the axial flow paths, but not the radial flow paths, to the entry and exit ports of another of the manifolds.
