    Abstract: A liquid-cooled system comprises a primary cooling circuit designed to circulate a cooling liquid for the purpose of dissipating heat from a heat source. A cold plate assembly is thermally coupled to the heat source, facilitating the exchange of heat with the cooling liquid. In emergency situations, in which a failure of the regular cooling circuit may occur, the system activates an emergency cooling unit comprising a Phase Change Material (PCM) housed within a dedicated containment structure. A pair of distributor valves are mechanically linked to both the primary cooling circuit and the emergency cooling unit. The pair of distributor valves are configured to selectively disconnect the cold plate assembly from the primary cooling circuit and to connect the cold plate assembly to the emergency cooling unit when prompted by a control signal, thus providing emergency cooling functionality for a predetermined period of time.
