A liquid cooling apparatus for use with electronic equipment includes a frame adapted to fit in a chassis with electronic equipment. An inner container and outer container are attached to the frame. A liquid inlet is disposed in the frame and has an opening in liquid flow communication with the inner container. A liquid outlet is disposed in the frame and has an opening in liquid flow communication with the inner container. A vacuum outlet is disposed in the frame and coupled to a space between the inner container and the outer container. A detector is coupled to the vacuum outlet and configured to detect air and/or liquid escaping from the vacuum outlet. Advantages of the invention include the ability to cool electronic equipment while guarding against accidental leaks in the cooling apparatus. The invention is also applicable to any process or system where thermal transfer is needed and leaks are to be protected against. This includes, but is not limited to, heating, cooling, or stabilizing the temperature of chemical, biological, or physical processes in medical, scientific, testing or processing equipment.
