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: Aspects of liquid operational systems are described. According to one aspect, a system to automatically fill a liquid operational component is described. According to another aspect, a self-diagnostic system is described. According to yet another aspect, a flow conditioning arrangement is described. A control system for a heat-transfer system includes a plurality of sensors. Each sensor is configured to observe an operational parameter indicative of a thermodynamic quantity and to emit a signal containing information corresponding to the observed operational parameter. Control logic includes a processing unit and instructions stored on a memory that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the control logic to determine a first thermodynamic quantity associated with each sensor from information contained in a signal from the respective sensor; determine a second thermodynamic quantity associated with each sensor from information contained in a signal received from at least one other sensor in the plurality of sensors; compare the first thermodynamic quantity with the second thermodynamic quantity; and responsive to the comparison of the first thermodynamic quantity with the second thermodynamic quantity, output a control signal.

Abstract: A fluid heat exchanger for cooling an electronic device can have a plurality of walls. The walls can define a corresponding plurality of microchannels. Each microchannel can extend from a first end to a second end. The plurality of microchannels can define at least two opposed outer microchannels and a centrally located microchannel positioned between the opposed outer microchannels. A fluid inlet passage can be configured to deliver a heat-exchange fluid to each microchannel between the corresponding first end and the corresponding second end of the respective microchannel. A fluid outlet passage can have an enlarged outlet region from the centrally located microchannel compared to a corresponding outlet region from one or both of the opposed outer microchannels. Related methods are disclosed.

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.

A method of cooling a heat generating component uses a fluid heat exchanger that splits a mass flow of coolant.

Abstract: Leak detectors can have a sensor configured to detect a presence of a working fluid externally of a liquid-based heat-transfer system. The leak detector can also have an electrical circuit configured to emit a signal responsive to a detected presence of the working fluid externally of the liquid-based heat transfer system. Methods of detecting a leak of a working fluid from a liquid-based heat-transfer system can include sensing a presence or an absence of a working fluid externally of a liquid-based heat-transfer system. The methods can include generating a tachometer signal in correspondence with a sensed absence and a sensed presence of the working fluid. The methods can include monitoring the generated tachometer signal.

A manifold module can have a distribution manifold and a collection manifold. A decoupleable inlet coupler can be configured to fluidicly couple the distribution manifold to a respective heat-transfer element. A decoupleable outlet coupler can be configured to fluidicly couple the respective heat-transfer element to the collection manifold. An environmental coupler can be configured to receive the working fluid from the collection manifold, to transfer heat to an environmental fluid from the working fluid or to transfer heat from an environmental fluid to the working fluid, and to discharge the working fluid to the distribution manifold.
