Abstract:
The invention relates to a housing arrangement comprising a receiving housing (10) inside which a cooling device (30) and one or several electric units (40) are accommodated in the interior thereof The cooling device comprises a flow line and a return line (12,13) extending at least partially between the base area and ceiling area of the receiving housing. Connecting lines run from the flow line and return line and are physically connected to a cooling circuit of one or several electric units. Effective cooling of receiving areas which are fitted in a complex manner with built-in components is obtained by virtue of the fact that a distributor line (14) is respectively guided from a flow line and a return line to a distributor (30) which is maintained inside the receiving housing, said distributor comprising several distributor connections, and by virtue of the fact that the distributor connections (31) can be connected to connection lines(42,43) which are guided to the electric built-in component (computer unit).
Abstract:
This invention provides a cooling system comprising a thermosyphon for computer and electronic devices. The thermosyphon comprises an evaporator placed on top of a heat source, such as CPU. Heat from the heat source causes liquid coolant inside the evaporator to evaporate or boil. The resulting vapor enters a condenser and returns to a liquid phase. Cooling fins are attached to the condenser to facilitate heat transfer with the surrounding airflow. The cooling system and computer or electronic device fit within standard computer cases and high density server rack-mountable cases.

Abstract:
A rack-mount server system of a liquid cooling system, in which a heat-generating component such as CPU is cooled by a coolant, is composed of: a plurality of server modules with heat-generating components which are cooled by the circulating coolant; a coolant circulation path to which the server modules are connected in parallel and through which the coolant to cool the server modules is circulated; and a cooling unit connected in the middle of the coolant circulation path, the cooling unit circulating the coolant and cooling the coolant by radiating its heat to the outside air. Furthermore, a bypass route parallel to the server modules and going around the server modules is provided in the coolant circulation path, and the circulation quantity of the coolant is controlled in the bypass route. Alternatively, the flow quantity of the coolant is controlled in each of the server modules. In this manner, the cooling enough to ensure the reliability of a plurality of server modules mounted in the rack cabinet can be achieved.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus, such as personal computers of desktop type and notebook type, as well as a server, etc., having a cooling system being high in cooling efficiency, wherein a CPU (200) in need of cooling is installed within a housing (100), and the liquid cooling system for cooling the CPU, comprises: a heat-receiving (cooling) jacket (50); a radiator (60); and a circulation pump (70), wherein the heat-receiving (cooling) jacket (50), for transmitting heat generated from a heat-generation element, i. e., the CPU, into a liquid coolant flowing within an inside thereof, has a heat diffusion plate (90) attached on the lower surface thereof. This heat diffusion plate encloses an operating fluid (94), such as water, within a space, which is hermetically sealed and formed within an inside thereof, and also has heater elements (95), being provided in contact with a portion the operating fluid. To those heater elements (95) are supplied a pulse-like electric power. With this, a portion of the operating fluid repeats forming/extinguishing, to give vibration to the operating fluid, thereby diffusing the heat over the entire of the diffusion plate, thereafter the heat is transmitted to the heat-receiving (cooling) jacket. Or, alternatively, it may be connected with a heat radiation fin (300).

A junction between the first and second housings (4, 8) has three passages (20a, 20b, 20d, 78a, 78c, 78d) that connect an interior of the first housing (4) and an interior of the second housing (8). A cable (60) in which electric signals flow extends through one of the three passages (20b, 78c). Two pipes (57, 58) are provided. The first pipe (57) supplies liquid coolant heated in a heat-receiving portion (33). The second pipe (58) supplies the liquid coolant cooled in a heat-radiating portion (35). The first and second pipes (57, 58) extend through the remaining two of the three passages (20a, 20d, 78a, 78d), respectively.
Abstract:
A cooling device (22) for a CPU of a notebook computer comprises a radiation plate (23) and a fin (24) for radiating the heat from the CPU (18). When an external power supply is in use, the CPU is operated at a high clock frequency and the cooling device achieves a high cooling performance by operating a ventilation fan (26) directed to the fin (24), for example. In battery operation of the notebook computer, the CPU is operated at a low clock frequency to reduce power consumption and heat generation, in which case the ventilation fan (26) is not operated. Operation of the fan may be switched by detecting insertion/removal of a power cable, as well as by a temperature sensor and/or by user activation of a "silent" operation mode.
