Abstract
A control system for controlling the flow of refrigerant includes: an inlet valve configured to selectively isolate or couple a supply path for supplying refrigerant from a refrigeration system with an inlet of a cooling loop; an outlet valve configured to selectively isolate or couple a return path for returning refrigerant to the refrigeration system with an outlet of the cooling loop; a refrigerant collection valve configured to selectively isolate or couple a refrigerant collection path for collecting refrigerant for the refrigeration system with the cooling loop; a pressure sensor for determining a pressure of refrigerant in the cooling loop; an input for receiving cooling loop disconnect and connect commands; and control circuitry configured to receive signals from the pressure sensor and the commands from the input and to generate control signals for controlling the opening and closing of the inlet, outlet and refrigerant collection valves in response thereto.
