Liquid submersion cooled power supply system
A liquid submersion cooling system that is suitable for cooling a number of electronic devices in parallel using a plurality of cases connected to a rack system. The system cools heat-generating components in server computers and other devices that use electronic, heat-generating components and are connected in parallel systems. The system includes a housing having an interior space, a dielectric cooling liquid in the interior space, a heat-generating electronic component disposed within the space and submerged in the dielectric cooling liquid. The rack system contains a manifold system to engage and allow liquid transfer for multiple cases and IO connectors to engage electrically with multiple cases/electronic devices. The rack system can be connected to a pump system for pumping the liquid into and out of the rack, to and from external heat exchangers, heat pumps, or other thermal dissipation/recovery devices.
1. A power supply system, comprising:
a plurality of power supply units, each power supply unit including:
a sealed case defining a liquid tight interior space, the case having a liquid inlet that is in fluid communication with the interior space, and a liquid outlet that is in fluid communication with the interior space;
a plurality of power supplies of the same type disposed within the interior space; and
a single-phase, dielectric cooling liquid disposed within the interior space and submerging the power supplies; and
a rack, and a plurality of the power supply units are disposed on the rack in an array.
2. The power supply system of claim 1 , further comprising a manifold in the interior space of each sealed case and connected to the respective liquid inlet, each of the manifolds includes a plurality of manifold outlets.
3. The power supply system of claim 1 , further including a valve controlling liquid flow through the liquid inlet and a valve controlling liquid flow through the liquid outlet of each of the respective power supply units.
4. A power supply system, comprising:
