Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016069380A1] A flexible two-phase cooling apparatus for cooling microprocessors in servers can include a primary cooling loop, a first bypass, and a second bypass. The primary cooling loop can include a reservoir, a pump, an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, and flexible cooling lines extending from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold. The flexible cooling lines can be routable within server housings and can be fluidly connected to two or more series-connected heat sink modules that are mountable on microprocessors of the servers. The flexible cooling lines can be configured to transport low-pressure, dielectric coolant. The first bypass can include a first valve configured to regulate a first bypass flow of coolant through the first bypass. The second bypass can include a second valve configured to regulate a second bypass flow of coolant through the second bypass.
