Abstract: A data center cooling system includes a thermosiphon, an actuator coupled to the thermosiphon, and a controller. The thermosiphon includes an evaporator; a condenser; and at least one conduit coupled between the evaporator and the condenser to transport a working fluid between the evaporator and the condenser. The controller is coupled to the actuator and configured to operate the actuator to adjust a liquid level of the working fluid in the evaporator based, at least in part, on a parameter associated with a heat load of one or more data center heat generating computing devices.

Abstract: A system includes a first computing component and a second computing component. A first measurement indicative of a temperature of a first computing component is received. A second measurement indicative of a temperature of a second computing component is received. A thermal value is calculated for the first computing component based on the first measurement and the second measurement. In response to determining that the calculated thermal value exceeds the threshold, an operational or physical parameter of the system is modified.
