Inventors: Tustaniwskyj, Jerry I.; Halkola, Kyle G.;
Assignee: Unisys Corporation (Detroit, MI)
Primary Examiner: Tolin; G. P.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Fassbender; Charles J., Marhoefer; L. Joseph
A leak tolerant cooling system, for cooling electrical components with a liquid comprises: a frame holding a plurality of printed circuit boards, each of which have electrical components attached thereto; a top reservoir, mounted on the frame above the boards, for holding the liquid at atmospheric pressure; a conduit, coupled to the top reservoir and the boards, for conveying the liquid in a downward direction from the top reservoir over the components, the conduit being airtight in the absence of a leak therein; a bottom reservoir, coupled to the conduit below the boards, for receiving the liquid plus any air due to leaks from the conduit, the bottom reservoir being airtight except for a valve which opens in response to a valve control signal; a pump, coupled to the bottom reservoir, for sucking the liquid and air through the conduit at subatmospheric pressures in response to a pump control signal, and for simultaneously returning the liquid to the top reservoir; and a control circuit for generating the pump control signal starting when the liquid in the bottom reservoir is at a predetermined high level and continuing until the liquid in the bottom reservoir drops to a predetermined low level due to air leaking into the conduit, and for generating the valve control signal as the complement of the pump control signal. |
