An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a cover to enclose a junction between respective ends of first and second fluidic conduits. The first and second fluidic conduits transport a coolant fluid within an electronic system. The apparatus also includes a leak detection device to be located within a region that is enclosed by the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The leak detection device is to detect a leak of the coolant fluid at the junction when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The first and second fluidic conduits extend outside the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. Another apparatus is also described. The other apparatus includes a leak detection device to detect a leak of coolant fluid from a specific component or junction in a liquid cooling system of an electronic system.

Liquid cooling system leak detection improvements

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes an electronic system having a printed circuit board with electronic components mounted thereon. At least some of the electronic components are coupled to components of a liquid cooling system. The electronic system has a light source and a photosensitive element. The light source is to illuminate an illuminated region of the printed circuit board and/or at least one of the electronic components. The photosensitive element is to detect a change in reflection from the illuminated region in response to the presence of coolant that has leaked from the liquid cooling system within the illuminated region.
