Rotatable cold plate assembly for cooling pluggable modules
摘要
說明書
The liquid lines 634 may be part of a liquid cooling loop of the computing device. One of the liquid lines 634 may supply liquid coolant to the liquid conduit 633, while the other liquid line 634 returns liquid coolant from the liquid conduit 633. The liquid cooling loop may include additional features (not illustrated) that are well known in the art, such as pumps, heat exchangers, chillers, etc. In some examples, the liquid lines 634 are distinct from the liquid conduit 633. In such examples, the liquid lines 634 may be coupled to the liquid conduit 633 by couplings 635 (aka fittings, connectors, etc.). In other examples, the liquid lines 634 and the conduit 633 may all be parts of the same body (e.g., a pipe or tubing).
The liquid lines 634 may be configured to allow for the movement of the cold plate 630 when the pivoting support 621 rotates between the engaged and disengaged positions. For example, the liquid lines 634 may be flexible tubing, such as Norprene? tubing, rubber tubing, silicone tubing, PVC tubing, etc., which allows the movement of the cold plate by flexing.
