Rack system for housing an electronic device
A rack system for housing an electronic device comprising: an immersion case configured to provide housing to the electronic device, and to receive an immersion cooling liquid, wherein the immersion case includes a drainage opening, wherein the drainage opening is configured to remove at least a part of the immersion cooling liquid from the immersion case, based on a user actuated action, during a de-racking operation of the immersion case; and a rack frame configured to slidably accommodate racking and de-racking operations of the immersion case.
1. A rack system for housing an electronic device, comprising:
an immersion case configured to provide housing to the electronic device, and to receive an immersion cooling liquid, wherein the immersion case includes a drainage opening, wherein:
the immersion case is further configured to pivot about a pivot axis,
the drainage opening is configured to open in response to a user actuated action causing the immersion case to pivot about the pivot axis, and, after the drainage opening is open, remove at least a part of the immersion cooling liquid from the immersion case during a de-racking operation of the immersion case; and
a rack frame configured to slidably accommodate racking and de-racking operations of the immersion case.
2. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the drainage opening is a liquid-proof closing configured to be openable and closable such that, when the liquid-proof closing is opened, based on the user actuated action, the liquid-proof closing allows removal of at least a part of the immersion cooling liquid from the immersion case during the de-racking operation.
3. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the drainage opening further comprises one or more of a valve and a pump to remove at least a part of the immersion cooling liquid.
4. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is coupled to a pivot pin.
5. The rack system of claim 4 , wherein the pivot axis is associated with the pivot pin.
6. The rack system of claim 4 , wherein the pivot pin is coupled to a pneumatic cushion and the pneumatic cushion causes the immersion case to pneumatically pivot about the pivot axis.
7. The rack system of claim 4 , wherein the pivot pin is coupled to a pedal and the pedal causes the immersion case to mechanically pivot about the pivot axis.
8. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is manually pivotable about the pivot axis.
9. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is mechanically pivotable about the pivot axis.
10. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is pneumatically pivotable about the pivot axis.
11. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is configured to pivot between 0 to 45 degrees about the pivot axis.
12. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case further includes a sensor configured to determine and indicate a level of the immersion cooling liquid in the immersion case.
13. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion cooling liquid is a dielectric immersion cooling liquid.
14. The rack system of claim 1 , wherein the immersion case is stacked vertically in the rack frame.
15. A rack system for housing an electronic device, comprising:
an immersion case configured to provide housing to the electronic device, and to receive an immersion cooling liquid, wherein:
the immersion case includes a drainage opening,
the immersion case is coupled to a pivot pin and is further configured to pivot about a pivot axis,
the pivot pin is coupled to a pneumatic cushion and the pneumatic cushion causes the immersion case to pneumatically pivot about the pivot axis, and
the drainage opening is configured to remove at least a part of the immersion cooling liquid from the immersion case, based on a user actuated action causing the immersion case to pivot about the pivot axis, during a de-racking operation of the immersion case; and
a rack frame configured to slidably accommodate racking and de-racking operations of the immersion case.
16. The rack system of claim 15 , wherein the pivot pin is coupled to a pedal and the pedal causes the immersion case to mechanically pivot about the pivot axis.
17. The rack system of claim 15 , wherein the immersion case is configured to pivot between 0 to 45 degrees about the pivot axis.
18. The rack system of claim 15 , wherein the immersion case further includes a sensor configured to determine and indicate a level of the immersion cooling liquid in the immersion case.
19. The rack system of claim 15 , wherein the immersion cooling liquid is a dielectric immersion cooling liquid.
20. The rack system of claim 15 , wherein the immersion case is stacked vertically in the rack frame.
