Patent attributes
According to one embodiment, an information technology (IT) equipment cooling system includes an IT cooling module having one or more pieces of IT equipment that is configured to provide IT services and is at least partially submerged within a liquid coolant. While the equipment provides the services, heat is generated and transferred into the coolant thereby causing at least some of the coolant to turn into a vapor. The system also includes a condenser that is positioned above the module and is configured to condense the vapor back into liquid coolant. The system includes return and supply lines that are both coupled to the condenser and to the module to create a heat exchanging loop. The system includes an accumulator that is disposed on the supply line and is configured to accumulate the condensed liquid coolant before the coolant is provided to the module. The accumulator provides backup cooling capacity for the system. Also, a data center cooling system includes a cooling region and IT region for deploying a single loop immersion cooling system.
