    摘要: A cooling system is provided employing at least two modular cooling units (MCUs). Each MCU is capable of providing system coolant to multiple electronics subsystems to be cooled, and each includes a heat exchanger, a first cooling loop with at least one control valve, and a second cooling loop. The first cooling loop receives chilled facility coolant from a source and passes at least a portion thereof through the heat exchanger, with the portion being controlled by the at least one control valve. The second cooling loop provides cooled system coolant to the multiple electronics subsystems, and expels heat in the heat exchanger from the multiple electronics subsystems to the chilled facility coolant in the first cooling loop. The at least one control valve allows regulation of facility coolant flow through the heat exchanger, thereby allowing control of temperature of system coolant in the second cooling loop.

    摘要: A coolant flow drive apparatus is provided for facilitating removal of heat from a cooling structure coupled to a heat generating electronics component. The coolant flow drive apparatus includes a turbine in fluid communication with a primary coolant flowing within a primary coolant flow loop, and a pump in fluid communication with a secondary coolant within a secondary coolant flow path. The secondary fluid flow path is separate from the primary coolant flow path. The flow drive apparatus further includes a magnetic coupling between the turbine and the pump, wherein the turbine drives the pump through the magnetic coupling to pump secondary coolant through the secondary coolant flow path.

    摘要: A thermal dissipation assembly and method, and a cooled multi-drawer electronics rack are provided having a first cooling loop and a second cooling loop. The first cooling loop is disposed substantially within an electronics drawer and positioned to extract heat from an electronics module within the drawer. The first cooling loop further includes a first planar heat transfer surface. The second cooling loop is disposed substantially external to the electronics drawer and includes a second planar heat transfer surface. A biasing mechanism mechanically forces the first planar heat transfer surface and the second heat transfer surface coplanar when the electronics drawer is in a docked position in the electronics rack to facilitate the transfer of heat from the first cooling loop to the second cooling loop.
