Abstract:

An all Nonferrous metal computer-case whereas the case itself is integrated with high volume liquid storage tanks and heat exchangers. Using existing liquid cooling components, this computer-case will store and cool said liquid. Heat from liquid is removed by pumping of liquid from the lower receiving tank, through the heat exchanger, to the upper distribution tank. Cooler liquid will flow from the upper distribution tank and through the individual distribution tubing connectors to each of the desired heat sources and back to the receiving tank. The flow to each heat source is balanced by the rate of liquid removed from the lower tank, creating an even distribution to each attached heat source. Alternately, a reverse flow configuration can take advantage of the cooler liquid in the lower storage tank. By pumping the liquid into the lower storage tank and forcing the liquid through the individual tubing connectors to each heat source, then through the individual tubing connectors to the upper storage tank. The upper storage tank is connected to the heat exchanger allowing the liquid to flow down through it, removing heat from said liquid. Then back to the pump, and to the lower storage tank. The gravity created from the upper storage tank helps improve the flow of the liquid and pump strain on all configurations. And directional (check valves) valves help keep the liquid from creating pressure in the undesired direction.
