Cooling system of an electronic module with a leakage control device
A system for controlling the cooling of an electronic module is disclosed, the system including an electronic module extending in a first and a second direction, a cooling pipe structure and a leakage device. The cooling pipe structure is arranged to transfer a flow of cooling medium, so to cool the electronic module, wherein the cooling pipe structure further includes a muzzle extending outwardly from a circumferential portion of said cooling pipe structure and a coupling portion being mated with an open end of the muzzle wherein said leakage device includes a leak collecting means circumferentially enclosing a mating interface of the muzzle and the coupling portion, so to collect any leakage from the cooling pipe structure.
1 . A system for controlling the cooling of an electronic module, the system comprising;
an electronic module extending in a first (x 1 ) and a second direction (y 1 ),
an at least partly vertically extending leakage structure having a first side-proximate the electronic module and an opposing second side proximate a cooling pipe structure;
wherein the cooling pipe structure is arranged to have a flow of cooling medium, so to cool the electronic module;
wherein the cooling pipe structure comprises:
a muzzle extending outwardly from a circumferential portion of said cooling pipe structure; and
a coupling portion being mated with an open end of the muzzle;
wherein the muzzle and the coupling portion comprise a mating interface arranged proximate the second side of the leakage structure so to separate any leakage from the electronic module,
wherein said leakage structure further comprises a transporting portion extending to an analysis reservoir, wherein the coupling portion extends towards the electronic module, at least partly through the leakage structure, wherein an ending portion of the coupling portion is in contact with the electronic module,
wherein the system further comprises a reservoir module and a pump configured to eject a cooling medium to flow from the reservoir module and circulate through the cooling pipe structure.
2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the muzzle and the mated coupling portion extend towards the electronic module.
3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein said transporting portion is an open channel formed on the second side of the leakage structure associated with the mating interface of the muzzle and the coupling portion.
4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the leakage structure is a corrugated sheet comprising distributed depressions facing the electronic module.
5 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a support structure, wherein the cooling pipe structure is arranged intermediate the support structure and the leakage structure.
6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic module is an antenna module comprising a transmitter and/or receiver module (TRM).
7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein any leakage is transported to the analysis reservoir via the transporting portion by gravitational force.
8 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling pipe structure comprises:
a plurality of pipe units extending in the first direction (x 1 ) distributed along the second direction (y 1 ), each pipe unit comprising at least one muzzle and a corresponding coupling portion.
9 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system comprises at least one sensor device configured to;
monitor the presence of medium in the analysis reservoir, wherein the system further comprises control circuitry configured to;
obtain sensor data from the at least one sensor device indicative of the presence of medium in the analysis reservoir.
10 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling medium is a liquid coolant.
