Abstract

An immersion cooling tank includes a tank body and a liquid flow tube. The tank body holds a coolant and an electronic device. The tank body defines an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and the outlet are respectively located at opposite ends of the electronic device for inputting and outputting the coolant. The coolant flows through the electronic device. The liquid flow tube includes at least one adjuster. The liquid flow tube is located inside the tank body and coupled to at least one of the inlet or the outlet. The at least one adjuster faces the electronic device for controlling an amount of the coolant flowing in or out of the tank body.

Claims (32)

1. A cooling system comprising:

a cold source distributor; and

an immersion cooling tank coupled to the cold source distributor, the immersion cooling tank comprising:

a tank body configured to hold a coolant and an electronic device, the tank body defining an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet respectively located at opposite ends of the electronic device for inputting and outputting the coolant, the coolant flowing through the electronic device; and

a liquid flow tube comprising at least one adjuster, the liquid flow tube located inside the tank body and coupled to at least one of the inlet or the outlet, the at least one adjuster facing the electronic device for controlling an amount of the coolant flowing in or out of the tank body;

wherein the liquid flow tube comprises a first flow tube, the first flow tube is coupled to the outlet, the coolant after passing through the electronic device flows through the first flow tube, the at least one adjuster is mounted on the first flow tube for controlling an amount of the coolant flowing out of the tank body.

2. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein:

the cold source distributor comprises a heat exchanger, a cold source tube, and a heat return tube;

the cold source tube and the heat return tube are coupled to the heat exchanger, the cold source tube is coupled to the inlet, and the heat return tube is coupled to the outlet.

3. The cooling system of claim 2 , wherein:

the heat exchanger is coupled to a cooling nozzle and a heat return nozzle;

the cooling nozzle is configured to provide cooling water to the heat exchanger; and

the heat return nozzle is configured to carry away heat from the heat exchanger.

4. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein:

the liquid flow tube further comprises a second flow tube;

the second flow tube is coupled to the inlet;

the first flow tube and the second flow tube are respectively located at opposite ends of the electronic device and arranged in parallel; and

the coolant enters the tank body through the second flow tube.

5. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein:

the tank body comprises at least one driving member for driving the coolant to flow;

the first liquid flow tube and the at least one driving member are respectively located at opposite ends of the electronic device; and

the coolant flows in a direction from the at least one driving member to the first liquid flow tube through the electronic device, and the coolant carries heat generated by the electronic device to the first liquid flow tube.

6. The cooling system of claim 5 , wherein:

the at least one driving member is located adjacent to the inlet; and

a driving direction of the at least one driving member is the same as a flow direction of the coolant.

7. The cooling system of claim 5 , wherein:

the at least one driving member is a fan blade.

8. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein:

the liquid flow tube defines at least one opening facing the electronic device;

the at least one adjuster is mounted in the at least one opening and communicates with the liquid flow tube.

9. The cooling system of claim 8 , wherein:

the liquid flow tube defines a plurality of openings arranged in parallel.
