    Abstract: A fluid heat exchanger includes: a heat spreader plate including an intended heat generating component contact region; a plurality of microchannels for directing heat transfer fluid over the heat spreader plate, the plurality of microchannels each having a first end and an opposite end and each of the plurality of microchannels extending substantially parallel with each other microchannel and each of the plurality of microchannels having a continuous channel flow path between their first end and their opposite end; a fluid inlet opening for the plurality of microchannels and positioned between the microchannel first and opposite ends, a first fluid outlet opening from the plurality of microchannels at each of the microchannel first ends; and an opposite fluid outlet opening from the plurality of microchannels at each of the microchannel opposite ends, the fluid inlet opening and the first and opposite fluid outlet openings providing that any flow of heat transfer fluid that passes into the plurality of microchannels, flows along the full length of each of the plurality of microchannels in two directions outwardly from the fluid inlet opening. A method of cooling a heat generating component uses a fluid heat exchanger that splits a mass flow of coolant.

    Abstract: An observed operational state can include an operational state of one or more system devices. A sensor can emit, in response to a detected observable condition reflective of a given operational state, a simulated signal reflective of a different operational state as a proxy for the detected condition. A controller receiving such a proxy signal can, at least partially responsively to the proxy signal, issue a command corresponding to the given operational state. An electro-mechanical actuator can be selectively activatable responsive to the command.

    Abstract: A fluid flow control valve includes a valve body having a bore configured to convey fluid from an inlet port to an outlet port. The inlet and outlet ports, and the bore therebetween, define a fluid flow path through the valve body. A gate element is disposed in the bore. The gate element is positionable in the bore from a first position, which allows fluid flow through the bore, to a second position which restricts fluid flow through the bore. An actuator is coupled to the gate element and is configured to urge the gate element from the first position toward the second position. A fuse consisting of a transformable retainer is configured to retain the gate element in the first position, while the retainer is in a first condition, and to allow the gate element to move toward the second position when the retainer transforms to a second condition. The transformable retainer may be configured to transform from the first condition to the second condition responsive to a signal, e.g., a signal indicative of a thermal change or a fluid leak. The innovative valves are especially but not exclusively suited for governing flow in a heat transfer system, particularly a heat transfer system for dissipating heat from a plurality of computer servers. The innovative valves may be embodied in systems, methods, apparatuses, and components.

    Abstract: A heat exchange system can include a heat exchange unit and a magnetic element. The heat exchange unit can have a housing and a heat exchange surface configured to thermally couple to a subject of heat exchange. The housing can define an outer surface spaced apart from the heat exchange surface. A magnetic element, a ferrous element, or both, can be positioned within the housing. A coupling agent can have a complementary magnetic element, ferrous element, or both. The coupling agent can interact with the magnetic element, the ferrous element, or both, positioned within the housing. The coupling agent can be coupled to a substrate to retain the heat exchange unit relative to the substrate.

    Abstract: An observed operational state can include an operational state of one or more system devices. A sensor can emit, in response to a detected observable condition reflective of a given operational state, a simulated signal reflective of a different operational state as a proxy for the detected condition. A controller receiving such a proxy signal can, at least partially responsively to the proxy signal, issue a command corresponding to the given operational state. For example, a leak detector can emit in response to a detected leak, or a flow-rate sensor can emit in response to a detected flow-rate of a liquid, a simulated fan-speed tachometer signal representative of a selected fan speed. At least partially in response to observing a simulated tachometer signal, a controller can issue a system command corresponding to an underlying system condition for which the simulated tachometer signal is a proxy.

    Abstract: An electric pump can have a stator with a stator core defining a plurality of poles, a coil of electrically conductive material extending around each respective one of the plurality of poles, and a stator-cooling chamber, as well as an impeller coupled to a rotor. A first region can be at least partially occupied by the impeller and fluidicly coupled with the stator-cooling chamber to convey a working fluid from the first region into the stator-cooling chamber. The stator-cooling chamber can be configured to facilitate heat transfer from the stator core and/or the coils to the working fluid in the stator-cooling chamber. Cooling systems can incorporate such a pump. Related methods also are disclosed.

    Abstract: Some modular heat-transfer systems can have an array of at least one heat-transfer element being configured to transfer heat to a working fluid from a heat dissipator. A manifolded heat exchanger can be configured to receive heated working fluid from a plurality of heat-transfer elements and to reject heat to a working fluid of a second fluid circuit. In some embodiments, the heat exchanging manifold can split an incoming flow of working fluid from the second fluid circuit into two or more streams having different bulk flow directions. In some instances, heat exchanger portions of the heat exchanging manifold are configured to provide counter flow heat exchange between the working fluid of the first fluid circuit and the working fluid of the second fluid circuit.
