The closed loop cooling system comprises a coolant passageway defining a closed loop, a coolant located within the coolant passageway, the coolant comprising a static pressure of 100 pounds per square inch or lower and the coolant being in a single liquid phase through the coolant passageway, and one or more pumps configured to move the coolant through the coolant passageway. The closed loop cooling system further comprises a first heat exchange component disposed along the coolant passageway, the first heat exchange component configured to transfer heat from the heat-producing components to the coolant, and a second heat exchange component disposed along the coolant passageway, the second heat exchange component configured to remove heat from the coolant.
