Fluid fitting with integrated temperature sensor

1 . An information handling system comprising:

an information handling resource; and

a liquid cooling system for providing cooling of the information handling resource, wherein the liquid cooling system includes a fluid fitting comprising:

a housing having a fluidic channel formed within, configured to convey fluid between a proximate end of the housing and a distal end of the housing, wherein the proximate end and the distal end of the housing are each configured to mechanically couple to a fluid line;

a temperature sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of fluid flowing in the fluidic channel; and

a wiring channel formed in the housing and configured to house at least a portion of an electrically-conductive path extending from the temperature sensor to an exterior of the housing, the electrically-conductive path configured to communicate the signal from the temperature sensor, wherein the wiring channel is fluidically coupled to the fluidic channel.

2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , the fluid fitting further comprising a seal configured to prevent fluid from flowing from the fluidic channel to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

3 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a wire extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a cable connector mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to terminate a wire extending from the temperature sensor and via the wiring channel.

5 . A fluid fitting comprising:

a housing having a fluidic channel formed within, configured to convey fluid between a proximate end of the housing and a distal end of the housing, wherein the proximate end and the distal end of the housing are each configured to mechanically couple to a fluid line;

a temperature sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of fluid flowing in the fluidic channel; and

a wiring channel formed in the housing and configured to house at least a portion of an electrically-conductive path extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing, the electrically-conductive path configured to communicate the signal from the temperature sensor, wherein the wiring channel is fluidically coupled to the fluidic channel.

6 . The fluid fitting of claim 5 , further comprising a seal configured to prevent fluid from flowing from the fluidic channel to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

7 . The fluid fitting of claim 5 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a wire extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

8 . The fluid fitting of claim 5 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a cable connector mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to terminate a wire extending from the temperature sensor and via the wiring channel.

9 . A method comprising:

forming a housing with a fluidic channel within, configured to convey fluid between a proximate end of the housing and a distal end of the housing, wherein the proximate end and the distal end of the housing are each configured to mechanically couple to a fluid line;

integrating a temperature sensor within the housing, the temperature sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of fluid flowing in the fluidic channel; and

forming a wiring channel in the housing, the wiring channel configured to house at least a portion of an electrically-conductive path extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing, the electrically-conductive path configured to communicate the signal from the temperature sensor, further comprising fluidically coupling the wiring channel to the fluidic channel.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising disposing a seal in the wiring channel in order to prevent fluid from flowing from the fluidic channel to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a wire extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing via the wiring channel.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the electrically-conductive path comprises a cable connector mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to terminate a wire extending from the temperature sensor and via the wiring channel.
