    Abstract: Inner partitions disposed within a cooling tank have an open space to form arrayed housing parts, and at least one unit of electronic device housed in each of the housing parts. A lifting mechanism includes a tower having a guide and a driving source for raising and lowering an arm, a slide mechanism attached to the cooling tank, and a stopper for restricting the tower's movement so that a range of the tower's motion in a width direction of the cooling tank does not exceed at least a width of the open space. The slide mechanism supports the tower movably with respect to the cooling tank in a horizontal plane located above the open space. The liquid immersion cooling system can safely lift or lower the electronic devices densely housed within the cooling tank without requiring the stage in the periphery of the installation surface of the cooling tank.

    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 100 for directly cooling an electronic device immersed in a coolant includes a cooling tank 11 containing the coolant C, a leakage receiving portion 21 disposed between the cooling tank 11 and a floor surface so as to receive the coolant L leaked from the cooling tank 11, an additional leakage receiving portion 22 disposed to receive the coolant L overflown from the leakage receiving portion 21 which stores the leaked coolant by a volume in excess of a predetermined volume, and a passage 25 that connects the leakage receiving portions 21 and 23 for passing the overflown coolant L by the volume in excess of the predetermined volume. 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.
