Abstract

An electronic apparatus including at least one heat generating component and an immersion cooling system is provided. The immersion cooling system includes a box body and a condensation module. The box body is adapted to accommodate a coolant, and the heat generating component is disposed in the box body to be immersed in the coolant in a liquid state. The condensation module includes a pipeline and a condensate, and the pipeline passes through the box body and is adapted for the condensate to flow. At least one parameter of the condensate may be changed to lower a boiling point of the coolant to a predetermined value by lowering the temperature in the box body with the condensate. In addition, an operating method of the electronic apparatus is also provided.

Claims (31)

1. An immersion cooling system, comprising:

a box body, adapted to accommodate a coolant;

a condensation module, driving a condensate and adjusting at least one parameter of the condensate to lower a temperature in the box body; and
