A cooling apparatus and a direct cooling impingement module are provided, along with a method of fabrication thereof. The cooling apparatus and direct impingement cooling module include a manifold structure and a jet orifice plate for injecting coolant onto a surface to be cooled. The jet orifice plate, which includes a plurality of jet orifices for directing coolant at the surface to be cooled, is a unitary plate configured with a plurality of jet orifice structures. Each jet orifice structure projects from a lower surface of the jet orifice plate towards the surface to be cooled, and includes a respective jet orifice. The jet orifice structures are spaced to define coolant effluent removal regions therebetween which facilitate removal of coolant effluent from over a center region of the electronic component being cooled to a peripheral region thereof, thereby reducing pressure drop across the jet orifice plate.

A multi-fluid cooling system and method for cooling an electronic device are provided which employ freeze protection when in a shipping state. The cooling system includes a coolant loop having an expansion tank containing first and second fluids, which are immiscible and of different densities, and the second fluid freezes at a lower temperature than the first. The coolant loop further includes a first valve for facilitating coupling of the first fluid into the coolant loop and a second valve for facilitating coupling of the second fluid into the coolant loop, the first and second valves being independently controllable. Control logic electronically controls actuation of the first and second valves to automatically pass the first fluid through the coolant loop when the system is in an operational state and to automatically maintain the second fluid in the coolant loop when the system is in a shipping state.

A multi-fluid cooling system and methods of fabrication thereof are provided for removing heat from one or more electronic devices. The cooling system includes a multi-fluid manifold structure with at least one first fluid inlet orifice and at least one second fluid inlet orifice for concurrently, separately injecting a first fluid and a second fluid onto a surface to be cooled when the cooling system is employed to cool one or more electronic devices, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are immiscible, and the first fluid has a lower boiling point temperature than the second fluid. When the cooling system is employed to cool the one or more electronic devices and the first fluid boils, evolving first fluid vapor condenses in situ by direct contact with the second fluid of higher boiling point temperature.

Apparatus and method are provided for facilitating cooling of an electronics rack employing an air delivery structure coupled to the electronics rack. The air delivery structure delivers air flow at a location external to the electronics rack and in a direction to facilitate mixing thereof with re-circulating exhausted inlet-to-outlet air flow from the air outlet side of the electronics rack to the air inlet side thereof. The delivered air flow is cooler than the re-circulating exhausted inlet-to-outlet air flow and when mixed with the re-circulating air flow facilitates lowering air inlet temperature at a portion of the air inlet side of the electronics rack, thereby enhancing cooling of the electronics rack.

An electronic device cooling assembly and fabrication method are provided which include a manifold with an orifice for injecting a cooling liquid onto a surface to be cooled, and an elastic pin support material with an opening aligned to the orifice of the manifold. Multiple thermally conductive pins are mounted within the support material, extending therefrom, and are sized to physically contact the surface to be cooled. The support material has a thickness and compliance which facilitates thermal interfacing of the pins to the surface by allowing second ends thereof to move vertically and tilt. The second end of each pin has a planar surface which is normal to an axis of the pin, and the support material facilitates the planar surfaces of the second pin ends establishing planar contact with the surface to be cooled, notwithstanding that the surface may be other than planar.

Energy efficient control of a cooling system cooling an electronic system is provided. The control includes automatically determining at least one adjusted control setting for at least one adjustable cooling component of a cooling system cooling the electronic system. The automatically determining is based, at least in part, on power being consumed by the cooling system and temperature of a heat sink to which heat extracted by the cooling system is rejected. The automatically determining operates to reduce power consumption of the cooling system and/or the electronic system while ensuring that at least one targeted temperature associated with the cooling system or the electronic system is within a desired range. The automatically determining may be based, at least in part, on one or more experimentally obtained models relating the targeted temperature and power consumption of the one or more adjustable cooling components of the cooling system.
