    Abstract: A cooling system is configured to directly cool electronic devices of different types immersed in a coolant filled in a cooling apparatus having a cooling tank with an open space defined by a bottom wall and side walls, arranged housing parts formed by dividing the open space using internal partition walls in the cooling tank, an inflow opening formed in a bottom part or a side surface of each of the housing parts, and an outflow opening formed around a surface of the coolant circulating in the respective housing parts. Electronic devices of different types include first electronic devices configured to execute arithmetic operations through processors, and second electronic devices configured to execute storage through storage units. The arbitrary numbers of the first and second electronic devices are separately housed in the housing parts of the cooling apparatus to form a computer with a calculation capacity and a storage capacity.

    Abstract: A cooling system 300 configured to directly cool an electronic device immersed in a coolant includes a cooling tank 11 containing the coolant C, and a leakage receiving portion 41 disposed between the cooling tank 11 and a floor surface so as to receive the coolant C leaked from the cooling tank 11. The leakage receiving portion 41 includes a distribution plate 40 for distributing a load applied from the cooling tank 11, a closed side wall disposed on the distribution plate to enclose the cooling tank 11, and a lid member 42 for covering an upper opening between the closed side wall and the cooling tank 11. The system facilitates collection of the accidentally leaked coolant, and ensures to keep the low height of the device for temporarily accumulating the leaked coolant L until it is collected.

    Abstract: A cooling system is adapted for reduction of evaporative loss of a liquid coolant and for efficient cooling of plural electronic devices densely accommodated in a cooling bath of a small volume. A cooling system accommodates plural electronic devices in an open space of a cooling bath provided with an inlet port and an outlet port for a liquid coolant. The cooling system is configured to directly cool the electronic devices by immersion of the electronic devices in the liquid coolant circulated in the open space. The liquid coolant contains a perfluorinated compound as a main component. The liquid coolant is adapted to exhibit a liquid weight loss percentage of 1.5% or less as determined by allowing 10 ml of the liquid coolant in a 10-ml measuring cylinder (opening diameter: 11.5 mm) to spontaneously evaporate under normal environment at a room temperature of 25° C. for 100 hours.

    Abstract: Provided is a cooling system capable of effectively avoiding generation of bubbles in the flow passage including the piping unit that climbs over the barrier upon start of the pump that has been in the stopped state. The cooling system 100 includes a cooling tank 11 filled with a coolant C, flow passages 15, 16 through which the coolant discharged from an outlet of the cooling tank 11 returns to an inlet of the cooling tank 11, an inverted U-like piping unit 16a disposed in the middle of the flow passage 16, a main pump 31, an auxiliary pump 33 disposed opposite the main pump 31 while interposing the inverted U-like piping unit 16a with the main pump 31, and a controller 35 which controls driving operations of the main pump 31 and the auxiliary pump 33. The controller 35 drives the auxiliary pump 33 for a predetermined time period before starting the main pump 31. The predetermined time period for driving the auxiliary pump 33 may be arbitrarily set so long as the preliminary flow of the coolant C is generated. As the auxiliary pump 33 may be driven for only a short time period, silence in the room is hardly deteriorated even in the case that the pump is disposed inside the building.
