    Abstract: Provided is a power supply unit which is immersed and directly cooled in a coolant filled in a cooling apparatus. The power supply unit includes a unit substrate, and a voltage step-down device mounted on the unit substrate. The unit substrate includes a voltage input terminal for supplying an external power supply voltage, and a voltage output terminal. The voltage output terminal is electrically connected to a voltage input terminal of an electronic device. The power supply unit is mounted on a bottom of a cooling tank of the cooling apparatus so that the electronic device is positioned at an upper part of the power supply unit upon electrical connection between the electronic device and the power supply unit, and cooled by the coolant flowing from the bottom, or flowing from another section of the cooling tank. The unit substrate may be disposed apart from the bottom so as to form a flow channel which allows passage of the coolant between one surface of the unit substrate and the bottom. The voltage step-down device may be configured to include a converter module which steps down the external high voltage DC voltage from 200V to 420V to the DC voltage from 24V to 52V.

    Abstract: A cooling system 400 configured to directly cool an electronic device immersed in a coolant includes a cooling tank 50 containing the coolant C, and a leakage receiving portion 21 disposed between the cooling tank 50 and a floor surface 32 so as to receive the coolant L leaked from the cooling tank 50. The cooling tank 50 includes a lower structure 53 fixed to the floor surface 32, an upper structure 51 having the electronic device immersed in the coolant C, and a seismic isolation device 55 disposed between the lower structure 53 and the upper structure 51. It is possible to provide the cooling system which is highly durable against externally exerted strong impact and vibration caused by such disaster as earthquake.

    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: 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.
