Abstract

An observed operational state can include an operational state of one or more system devices. A sensor can emit, in response to a detected observable condition reflective of a given operational state, a simulated signal reflective of a different operational state as a proxy for the detected condition. A controller receiving such a proxy signal can, at least partially responsively to the proxy signal, issue a command corresponding to the given operational state. For example, a leak detector can emit in response to a detected leak, or a flow-rate sensor can emit in response to a detected flow-rate of a liquid, a simulated fan-speed tachometer signal representative of a selected fan speed. At least partially in response to observing a simulated tachometer signal, a controller can issue a system command corresponding to an underlying system condition for which the simulated tachometer signal is a proxy.

Claims (17)

1 . A data center, comprising:

a liquid-cooling system comprising:

a pump,

a liquid-cooled cold plate having a thermal interface and being configured to transfer heat received through the thermal interface to a liquid passing through the liquid-cooled cold plate,

a heat exchanger, wherein the liquid-cooling system is configured to convey the heated liquid to the heat exchanger, and wherein the heat exchanger is configured to reject heat from the heated liquid to another medium;

a sensor circuit having a plurality of sensors and being configured to emit a sensor signal containing encoded information corresponding to an operational parameter observed by each in the plurality of sensors; and

a control circuit in electrical communication with the pump, wherein the control circuit is configured to adjust operation of the liquid-cooling system responsive to a received control signal by adjusting on-going operation of the pump;

wherein the data center further comprises a server having a heat-generating component cooled by the liquid-cooled cold plate; and

a monitoring circuit configured to infer from the sensor signal an operating condition of the liquid-cooling system, wherein the monitoring circuit is further configured to output a control signal to the control circuit corresponding to the inferred operating condition of the liquid cooling system.

2 . The data center according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors comprises a liquid-detection sensor having a liquid-sensitive region, the liquid-detection sensor configured to output an indication of a presence of liquid in contact with the liquid-sensitive region.

3 . The data center according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid-detection sensor comprises a leak detection sensor positioned externally of the liquid-cooling system.

4 . The data center according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid-detection sensor is positioned internally to the liquid-cooling system.

5 . The data center according to claim 4 , wherein the liquid-detection sensor is configured to observe a liquid level internal to the liquid-cooling system.

6 . The data center according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is in communication with the monitoring circuit and the sensor circuit.

7 . The data center according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid-cooling system further comprises an actuatable valve, wherein the controller is in further electrical communication with the actuatable valve, wherein the controller is configured further to adjust operation of the liquid-cooling system responsive to the received control signal by adjusting operation of the actuatable valve.

8 . The data center according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid-cooling system defines a passageway for conveying the liquid and wherein the plurality of sensors comprises a flow-rate sensor configured to output an indication of a flow rate of the liquid through the passageway.

9 . The data center according to claim 8 , wherein the operating condition of the liquid cooling system comprises the indication of the flow rate of the liquid through the passageway, wherein the control signal output to the controller corresponds in part to the flow rate of the liquid through the passageway.
