Abstract

A liquid immersion tank includes a housing configured to house a heat generator, a gutter provided over the housing, and configured to form a flow path through which a coolant flows, a flow rate adjuster provided at an outflow port through which the coolant flows out from the flow path, and configured to adjust an outflow amount of the coolant, a slope provided over the housing, and configured to include a down-flow surface through which the coolant branched from the flow path flows down toward the housing, the coolant flowing through the flow rate adjuster, and a tank configured to accommodate the housing.

Claims (19)

1. A liquid immersion tank comprising:

a housing configured to house a heat generator;

a gutter provided over the housing, and configured to form a flow path through which a coolant flows, the gutter includes a notch in a side wall;

a flow rate adjusting gate provided at an outflow port through which the coolant flows out from the flow path, and configured to adjust an outflow amount of the coolant;

a slope provided over the housing, and configured to include a down-flow surface through which the coolant branched from the flow path flows down toward the housing, the coolant flowing through the flow rate adjusting gate; and

a tank configured to accommodate the housing.

2. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 1 , wherein the down-flow surface includes:

an inclined surface inclined downward as a distance from the flow rate adjusting gate increases, and

a side surface continuous from the inclined surface so as to guide the coolant to flow down the inclined surface to the housing.

3. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 2 , wherein the slope includes:

a side plate portion disposed to face the side surface, and

a gap formed between the side surface and the side plate portion.

4. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 1 , wherein the flow rate adjusting gate includes:

a movable weir provided to be movable up and down, and

a spring that moves up the movable weir to be biased in a direction to close the outflow port.

5. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 4 , wherein the slope includes a pressing portion configured to press the movable weir.

6. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 1 , wherein the slope includes a notch into which the coolant flows, and the notch is provided on the down-flow surface.

7. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of notches including the notch is provided along a direction in which the slope extends starting from the flow rate adjusting gate.

8. The liquid immersion tank according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the slope is narrowed as a distance from the flow rate adjusting gate increases starting from the flow rate adjusting gate.
