Electrically controlled venturi to inhibit leaks in a direct liquid cooling system
A liquid cooling system includes first and second coolant tubes and a coupler to couple the first coolant tube to the second coolant tube. The first coolant tube receives coolant liquid from a first element of the liquid cooling system. The second coolant tube provides the coolant liquid to a second element of the liquid cooling system. The coupler is configured to receive an electrical signal to constrict a flow of the coolant liquid.
1 . A liquid cooling system, comprising:
a first coolant tube to receive coolant liquid from a first element of the liquid cooling system, wherein the coolant liquid includes ferromagnetic particles;
a second coolant tube to provide the coolant liquid to a second element of the liquid cooling system; and
a coupler to couple the first coolant tube to the second coolant tube;
wherein the coupler is configured to receive an electrical signal to constrict a flow of the coolant liquid.
2 . The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the coupler includes a wire winding around a perimeter of the coupler, the wire winding to receive the electrical signal.
3 . The liquid cooling system of claim 2 , wherein, when the coupler receives the electrical signal, the wire winding creates a magnetic field within the coupler.
4 . The liquid cooling system of claim 3 , wherein, when the coupler receives the electrical signal, the magnetic field within the coupler creates a floating obstruction of the ferromagnetic particles.
5 . The liquid cooling system of claim 4 , wherein, when the electrical signal has a first value, the floating obstruction partially obstructs a flow of the coolant liquid.
6 . The liquid cooling system of claim 5 , wherein the floating obstruction reduces a leak in the liquid cooling system.
7 . The liquid cooling system of claim 5 , wherein, when the electrical signal has a second value greater than the first value, the floating obstruction fully obstructs the flow.
8 . The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical signal is received in response to a detection of a coolant liquid leak.
9 . The liquid cooling system of claim 8 , wherein the leak is at the coupler.
10 . A method, comprising:
providing, in a liquid cooling system, a first coolant tube to receive coolant liquid from a first element of the liquid cooling system, wherein the coolant liquid includes ferromagnetic particles;
providing, in the liquid cooling system, a second coolant tube to provide the coolant liquid to a second element of liquid cooling system;
providing, in the liquid cooling system, a coupler to couple the first coolant tube to the second coolant tube; and
receiving, by the coupler, an electrical signal to constrict a flow of the coolant liquid.
11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
providing, in the coupler, a wire winding around a perimeter of the coupler; and
receiving, by the wire winding, the electrical signal.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein, when the coupler receives the electrical signal, the wire winding creates a magnetic field within the coupler.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein, when the coupler receives the electrical signal, the magnetic field within the coupler creates a floating obstruction of the ferromagnetic particles.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein, when the electrical signal has a first value, the floating obstruction partially obstructs a flow of the coolant liquid.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the floating obstruction reduces a leak in the liquid cooling system.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein, when the electrical signal has a second value greater than the first value, the floating obstruction fully obstructs the flow.
17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the electrical signal is received in response to a detection of a coolant liquid leak.
18 . A liquid cooling system, comprising:
a first coolant tube to receive coolant liquid from a first element of the liquid cooling system, wherein the coolant liquid includes ferromagnetic particles;
a second coolant tube to provide the coolant liquid to a second element of the liquid cooling system;
a coupler to couple the first coolant tube to the second coolant tube; and
a leak detector configured to provide an electrical signal in response to a leak of the coolant liquid;
wherein the coupler is configured to receive the electrical signal and to create a floating obstruction of the ferromagnetic particles within the coupler to constrict a flow of the coolant liquid.
