20210368646 | VARIABLE RELIABILITY AND CAPACITY DATA CENTER DESIGN - A design for the electrical infrastructure of a data center enables two different configurations to be utilized, including a distributed, redundant configuration that provides higher reliability and a non-redundant configuration that provides higher capacity. In the distributed, redundant configuration, each server in the data center draws power from at least two different power supply systems. This enables load shifting when a power supply system becomes unavailable, which can have the effect of increasing server reliability. In the non-redundant configuration, each server in the data center draws power from only one power supply system. Load shifting is not utilized in the non-redundant configuration, which eliminates the need to maintain reserve capacity and thereby increases capacity. Advantageously, it is possible to switch between these two configurations without making any internal changes to the data center other than modifying connections between sets of server racks and power buses. | 2021-11-25 |
20210368647 | ACTIVE/PASSIVE COOLING SYSTEM - A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium. | 2021-11-25 |

The MIO layer is bonded to the heat-generating device. The shared coolant reservoir contains a coolant fluid. The passive heat exchange circuit directs coolant fluid from the shared coolant reservoir through the MIO layer and back to the shared coolant reservoir. The active heat exchange circuit includes a pump and a heat exchanger, wherein the active heat exchange circuit draws the coolant fluid from the shared coolant reservoir through the heat exchanger and returns the coolant fluid to the shared coolant reservoir. | 2021-11-25 |

The medium includes an anhydrous liquid that does not contain water and is made of a substance having a polarity less than water. The anhydrous liquid is cooled by heat exchange with the refrigerant and absorbs heat from the electric device while circulating through the heat transfer medium circuit. Accordingly, the low viscosity of the heat transfer medium at a low temperature can be secured. Further, by using an anhydrous liquid without water as the heat transfer medium, it is possible to suppress an increase in an electrical conductivity of the heat transfer medium over time. | 2021-11-25 |
