Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a thermal management system for IT infrastructure designed for managing and maintaining optimal thermal conditions for CPUs and consoles, ensuring efficient cooling, preventing overheating, enabling adaptive airflow and temperature regulation, and supporting remote monitoring and control for improved reliability, performance, and hardware protection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In modern computing environments, central processing units (CPUs) and gaming consoles are subject to substantial thermal loads due to increasing computational power and continuous operation. Maintaining optimal temperature conditions is essential to ensure system stability, prevent hardware failure, and extend device lifespan. Existing cooling solutions often lack adaptability to dynamic operational conditions, resulting in inefficient energy usage and suboptimal thermal management. Thermal management of IT infrastructure faces multiple critical challenges, including inefficient cooling due to static or poorly designed airflow systems, leading to hotspots and uneven temperature distribution.

[0003] Traditional cooling methods often fail to adapt to fluctuating workloads, resulting in excessive energy consumption or inadequate cooling during peak demand. Dust accumulation and airborne contaminants obstruct airflow and degrade hardware performance over time, increasing failure risks. Manual configuration of cooling parameters is time-consuming and prone to errors, while lack of real-time monitoring prevents proactive intervention. Additionally, remote management and predictive maintenance capabilities are typically absent, causing increased operational costs, system downtime, and reduced hardware lifespan.

[0004] Traditional cooling solutions primarily include passive heat sinks, fixed-speed fans, and simple air circulation designs. These methods rely on predetermined cooling capacity without considering real-time changes in workload or thermal status. Some systems provide manual control of fan speed or basic thermal sensors that trigger on/off behavior. Air filtration is often passive, relying on fixed mesh filters without active contaminant detection or removal. Furthermore, conventional systems generally require manual user configuration of cooling parameters, leading to inefficient energy usage or potential overheating under varying load conditions. Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance features are rarely incorporated in traditional cooling solutions, limiting their adaptability and efficiency in modern devices.

[0005] US9049803B2 The present invention attempts to reduce the thermal resistance with the use of heat-transfer devices (e.g., vapour chambers) placed directly on the heat-generating components in IT equipment and the integration of a cold plate within the cabinet. In some embodiments, the present invention is a thermal management system comprising a cabinet-side thermal management system and a server-side thermal management system using moveable thermal components.

[0006] US9285846B2 The present application describes various embodiments regarding systems and methods for providing efficient heat rejection for a lightweight and durable compact computing system having a small form factor. The compact computing system can take the form of a desktop computer. The desktop computer can include a monolithic top case having an integrated support system formed therein, the integrated support system providing structural support that distributes applied loads through the top case preventing warping and bowing. A mixed flow fan is utilized to efficiently pull cooling air through the compact computing system.

[0007] Conventionally, many systems have been developed to thermal management in IT infrastructure, however systems mentioned in prior arts have limitations pertaining to providing dynamic adaptability to real-time thermal loads and operational variations, and unable to analyzing hardware configurations or usage patterns to adjust cooling intensity automatically, often resulting in inefficient energy consumption or insufficient cooling during peak loads. Additionally, the existing systems lack the ability to detect and remove dust or airborne contaminants, which leads to gradual hardware degradation, and requiring user intervention to configure cooling parameters.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that is capable of providing real-time thermal monitoring, and adjusting cooling parameters automatically based on hardware configuration and usage patterns. Additionally, the system is capable of ensuring clean airflow by sensing dust and pollutants, followed by automatic filtration or removal, and ensuring consistent cooling performance without user intervention, thereby optimizing thermal management efficiency.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of automatically adjusting cooling intensity by analyzing hardware configuration and usage patterns to improve energy efficiency and prevent overheating.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of ensuring clean airflow within the enclosure by detecting and removing dust and contaminants, thereby protecting hardware from damage and performance degradation.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of providing adaptive airflow regulation by controlling air intake and exhaust based on internal temperature changes for stable operation.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that is capable of enabling automatic detection of installed hardware and adjust cooling parameters without user intervention, ensuring proper thermal management at all times.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting.

[0023] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0024] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0025] The present invention relates to a thermal management system for IT infrastructure developed for maintaining appropriate temperature and airflow conditions for CPUs and consoles by controlling cooling according to operational needs, preventing heat buildup, enabling remote supervision, and ensuring consistent performance and protection of hardware components.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a thermal management system for IT infrastructure is illustrated, comprising of a housing 101 includes an automated access door 102 mounted on one side of the housing 101, a plurality of dedicated platforms 103 arranged within the housing 101, a centralized coolant solution tank 104 mounted within the housing 101, a plurality of individual sub-stations 105 housed within the housing 101, each sub-station 105 adapted with an iris hole 106 and connected to the coolant tank 104 via respective conduit pipes 107, a mechanical shutter 108 positioned on both lateral sides of the housing 101, a set of air filtration modules 109 are mounted adjacent to the mechanical shutters 108 on both sides of the housing 101, a compact fan 110 mounted on a front side of each sub-station 105, an AI(artificial intelligence) camera 111 mounted within the housing 101, a cleaning module installed inside the housing 101, comprising rotary bristles 112 mounted on a circular plate 113 connected to a telescopic rod 114, a voice module comprising and a speaker 115 and microphone 116 configured inside the housing 101.

[0027] The disclosed device herein comprises of a housing 101 is configured to receive and enclose multiple CPUs (central processing unit) and consoles in a secured manner. Upon placement of the CPUs and consoles within the housing 101, the structure provides a protective environment against external elements, electrical interference, and mechanical damage. The housing 101 is constructed from durable material to maintain structural integrity. The housing 101 comprises an automated access door 102 affixed on one side through hinges for allowing controlled opening and closing.

[0028] The operation of the door 102 is controlled by an actuator connected to a control unit, which receives signals for operation. Upon command to open, the actuator drives the hinges, smoothly opening the door 102 to provide access for placement or removal of CPUs and consoles. The door 102 ensures safe enclosure of CPUs and consoles, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring operational stability. A plurality of dedicated platforms 103 is arranged within the housing 101 in a predefined configuration to provide support and connectivity for electronic components. Each platform 103 is structured to receive a CPU and/or a console securely.

[0029] During operation, the platforms 103 serve as mounting and interfacing surfaces, each platform 103 equipped with a contact-based temperature sensor and a proximity sensor to assess thermal load and component presence. The contact-based temperature sensor herein maintains direct thermal contact with the CPU or console. As the electronic component operates, it generates heat, which is transferred through the platform 103 to the sensor.

[0030] The sensor continuously measures the temperature at the interface point and converts the thermal energy into an electrical signal proportionate to the detected temperature. This analog or digital signal is transmitted to the control unit, which evaluates the thermal load in real-time. Based on predefined thresholds, the control unit triggers cooling actions, warnings, or shutdown procedures to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation of the electronics. The proximity sensor herein detects the presence or absence of a CPU and/or console.

[0031] Upon installation or removal of the electronic component, the proximity sensor emits an electromagnetic field and monitors changes in capacitance or reflected signal strength. The sensor outputs a digital signal indicating presence when the CPU or console is within the designated detection zone. The control unit receives this signal and confirms the presence or absence of the component. This information is used to validate correct installation, prevent operation when a component is missing, and maintain safe electrical and thermal conditions within the housing 101. A centralized coolant solution tank 104 is installed within the housing 101 to store the coolant solution in a secure and stable manner.

[0032] The tank 104 comprises a sealed reservoir fabricated from corrosion-resistant material suitable for chemical fluids. The tank 104 is connected to coolant supply lines that extend to various cooling modules. During operation, the control unit actuates a pump that draws the coolant solution from the centralized tank 104 through supply lines. As the coolant circulates, it absorbs heat and returns to the tank 104 via return lines, thereby maintaining an optimal operating temperature.

[0033] The pressure relief valve ensures safety by releasing excess pressure, maintaining stable fluid dynamics throughout the cooling cycle. The plurality of individual sub-stations 105 is housed within the housing 101, wherein each sub-station 105 is dedicated to a specific CPU or console. The control unit continuously monitors each sub-station 105 for operational status, ensuring active connection and functionality. A suction pump associated with each sub-station 105 operates by creating a negative pressure differential within the sub-station’s coolant pathway, thereby inducing the coolant to flow from the sub-station 105.

[0034] Upon activation by the control unit, the suction pump motor initiates rotational movement of the impeller, which draws coolant through an iris hole 106 and propels it into conduit pipes 107. The continuous operation of the suction pump ensures that coolant is actively extracted from the sub-station 105, thereby preventing coolant stagnation and facilitating constant circulation toward the coolant tank 104. The pump’s speed is dynamically regulated to maintain consistent thermal management under varying operational loads.

[0035] The iris hole 106 incorporated adapted each sub-station 105 functions as a variable aperture to regulate coolant flow into the conduit pipe 107. Upon receiving control signals from the control unit, the iris hole 106 adjusts its opening diameter by actuating a mechanical ring. This dynamic adjustment permits precise modulation of the coolant volume permitted to pass through, depending on real-time thermal requirements. The iris hole 106 operates to maintain optimal pressure balance and flow rate, allowing the suction pump to draw coolant effectively while preventing excessive flow that lead to pressure drops or inefficient thermal dissipation.

[0036] The conduit pipes 107 provide a sealed flow path interconnecting each sub-station’s iris hole 106 to the coolant tank 104. Once coolant is drawn from the sub-station 105 by the suction pump, the fluid travels through the conduit pipes 107 under pressure differential forces. The conduit pipes 107 are constructed to withstand thermal and pressure variations, ensuring structural integrity throughout operation. The flow of coolant within the conduit pipes 107 is uninterrupted and continuously monitored by flow sensors. The pipes 107 are connected using hermetic fittings to prevent leaks, and the coolant velocity is regulated by the control unit to maintain a consistent circulation rate, thereby supporting efficient thermal management.

[0037] The flow sensors herein measure real-time coolant volume flow rate. As coolant passes through the sensor chamber, the impeller or differential pressure element within the flow sensor detects the flow velocity. The sensor generates electrical signals proportional to the flow rate, which are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit analyzes the data and determines whether the coolant flow is within predefined operational thresholds. In case of deviations, the control unit adjusts the suction pump speed or the iris hole 106 aperture to maintain consistent coolant circulation. The flow sensors ensure that proper coolant levels are maintained for optimal thermal management and system safety.

[0038] A mechanical shutter 108 is mounted on both lateral sides of the housing 101 and is operable by an actuator controlled by the control unit. Upon detection of elevated internal temperature by the thermal sensor, the control unit sends a signal to the actuator, which drives the mechanical shutter 108 to open, thereby allowing hot air to be expelled from the housing 101. Once the thermal sensor detects that the temperature has returned to a predefined stable level, the control unit signals the actuator to close the mechanical shutter 108, thus preventing further airflow and maintaining internal thermal stability to protect components.

[0039] A set of air filtration modules 109 is mounted adjacent to the mechanical shutters 108 on both lateral sides of the housing 101. Upon activation of the mechanical shutters 108, external air is drawn through the air filtration modules 109 into the housing 101 by pressure differential. Each module 109 comprises multiple vertically arranged filter layers, enabling staged filtration. As the air passes through the filters, particulates and contaminants are progressively captured by each layer. The clean air proceeds into the housing 101, ensuring that no dust, debris, or other contaminants enter, thereby safeguarding the internal components from environmental pollutants during the cooling process.

[0040] Each multi-layered filter within the air filtration module 109 is designed with layers of varying porosity arranged vertically. Upon airflow initiation, the first filter layer captures larger particulates such as dust and coarse debris. The subsequent layers, having finer mesh structures, trap progressively smaller contaminants, including fine dust particles and microscopic pollutants. Air passing through each layer experiences gradual purification, with the final layer ensuring only clean, contaminant-free air enters the housing 101.

[0041] A compact fan 110 is mounted on the front side of each sub-station 105 and enclosed by a circular shroud that forms a dedicated airflow channel. Upon activation, the compact fan 110 generates airflow by rotating its blades at a predetermined speed, creating a pressure differential across the shroud. This pressure differential draws ambient air from outside the sub-station 105 and directs it through the airflow channel toward critical heat-generating components. The channel guides the air efficiently, ensuring targeted and uniform cooling.

[0042] The fan 110 speed is adaptively controlled by the control unit based on real-time temperature sensor readings, thereby maintaining optimal operating temperature of the sub-station 105. The fan 110 is operatively coupled to a brushless DC (BLDC) motor which drives the fan 110 blades. The rotational speed of the BLDC motor is regulated based on real-time feedback received from an integrated RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) sensor. The DC (BLDC) motor operates by converting electrical energy into mechanical rotational motion through electronic commutation rather than mechanical brushes.

[0043] A three-phase DC voltage is applied to stator windings in a sequential manner by an electronic controller. The permanent magnets mounted on the rotor interact with the stator-generated rotating magnetic field, causing the rotor to spin. The electronic controller monitors rotor position via Hall effect sensors or encoder signals and energizes the appropriate stator phases to maintain continuous rotation. The RPM sensor herein operates by detecting the rotational speed of the fan’s shaft in real-time. As the shaft rotates, periodic signals are generated corresponding to each revolution or a fraction thereof.

[0044] The pulses are transmitted to the control unit, which calculates the time interval between pulses to derive the rotational speed in RPM. The calculated RPM value is fed back to the control unit, which adjusts the BLDC motor drive signals to maintain or modify fan 110 speed as per thermal management requirements. The control unit is configured to receive input signals from multiple sensors including the temperature sensors arranged within the housing 101. Upon receiving the temperature data, the control unit processes the sensor inputs and compares the measured temperatures against predefined threshold values stored in its memory.

[0045] When the control unit determines that the temperature of CPUs or consoles exceeds the threshold, it activates the operational components such as cooling fans or liquid cooling pumps. The control unit continuously monitors sensor inputs and dynamically adjusts the cooling intensity by modulating fan speed or pump flow rate to maintain optimal thermal conditions, ensuring stable operation of CPUs and consoles. A coolant amplification unit is linked within each sub-station 105 operates by circulating the coolant fluid within the sub-station 105 to regulate temperature efficiently.

[0046] Upon receiving a signal from the control unit, the coolant amplification unit activates a Peltier module, which adjusts the temperature of the coolant. The coolant amplification unit drives a pump to circulate the coolant through the cooling channels of the sub-station 105. The coolant absorbs heat generated by electrical components and transfers it to the Peltier module. The amplified cooling effect from the Peltier module lowers the coolant temperature, thereby maintaining optimal operating conditions and preventing overheating of the sub-station 105 equipment.

[0047] The Peltier module herein functions based on the thermoelectric principle, wherein an electric current applied across the module induces heat transfer between its two surfaces. Upon activation by the control unit, the Peltier module receives a DC power supply, causing electrons to move from the hot side to the cold side. This movement absorbs heat from the coolant passing over the cold side of the module and expels it at the hot side. The continuous flow of electric current sustains the temperature differential, thereby amplifying the cooling capacity of the system. The heat expelled from the hot side is dissipated via a heat sink connected to ambient air.

[0048] An AI (artificial intelligence) camera 111 is mounted within the housing 101 and integrated with a laser sensor, operates to capture high-resolution images of the internal configuration of CPUs and gaming consoles. Upon activation, the AI camera 111 continuously scans and records the structural layout of hardware components. The captured image data is processed by an onboard processor utilizing machine learning protocols to identify and classify individual hardware components. The AI camera 111 further transmits identified component data to the control unit, which cross-references the information against a preloaded hardware specification database to dynamically determine and instruct appropriate cooling parameter adjustments for optimal thermal management.

[0049] The laser sensor herein operates by emitting focused laser beams towards the internal hardware of the CPU or console. The laser sensor measures distances, dimensions, and surface features of hardware components based on reflected laser signals. The measured spatial data is converted into precise 3D maps of the internal configuration, enabling accurate detection of component positions and structural variations. The mapped data is sent to the control unit where it is combined with image data from the AI camera 111. The control unit then cross-references the mapped data against the hardware specification database to dynamically adjust cooling intensity according to component layout, heat generation profiles, and proximity.

[0050] A dust sensor is integrated within the housing 101 in a fixed orientation, configured to continuously monitor the surrounding environment for particulate matter accumulation on critical surfaces, including the CPU and console panels. The sensor is electronically connected to the AI camera 111 through a communication interface, enabling synchronized operation. Upon detection of dust levels exceeding predefined thresholds, the sensor generates a digital signal transmitted to the control unit, which, in coordination with the AI camera 111, identifies specific areas of accumulation.

[0051] The dust sensor operates by employing optical or electrostatic detection to quantify particulate matter present on monitored surfaces. The sensor emits a light beam or electric field toward the surface, and reflected or disturbed signals are captured by an internal photodiode. The magnitude of signal alteration correlates with the density and distribution of dust particles, which the sensor converts into an electrical output. This output is processed in real time and compared against thresholds. Upon exceeding these thresholds, the sensor generates an alert signal to the control unit to initiate corrective actions automatically.

[0052] Post successful detection of the accumulated dust, the control unit activates a cleaning module is installed within the housing 101 to perform automated cleaning of electronic units. The cleaning module includes rotary bristles 112 affixed on a circular plate 113 connected to a telescopic rod 114 via a ball-and-socket joint. Upon activation, the module initiates rotation of the bristles 112, adjusting the rotational speed according to the type of CPU or console detected. The module’s variable RPM operation enables both delicate surface cleaning and deep internal dust removal. The telescopic rod 114 extends or retracts the bristles 112 to access confined areas. The ball-and-socket joint allows angular adjustment of the assembly, ensuring complete contact with surfaces.

[0053] The rotary bristles 112 herein are affixed on the circular plate 113, which is mechanically coupled to the drive motor. Upon receiving rotational input, the plate 113 spins, causing the bristles 112 to sweep and dislodge dust and debris from both internal and external surfaces. The bristles 112’ flexible material allows adaptation to uneven surfaces while maintaining consistent cleaning pressure. The rotation speed is dynamically varied based on surface sensitivity, ensuring thorough yet safe cleaning. The circular of the plate 113 configuration allows uniform coverage across the contact area, while the continuous rotation ensures consistent debris removal without manual intervention.

[0054] The telescopic rod 114 connects the circular bristle plate 113 to the housing 101, providing adjustable reach for cleaning operations. Upon activation, the rod 114 extends or retracts to position the bristle 112 at variable distances from the target surface. The rod 114 maintains axial stability while allowing linear motion under controlled force to prevent damage. The telescopic rod 114 ensures accessibility to confined or recessed areas within the CPU or console. The motion of the rod 114 is coordinated with the rotational speed of the bristles 112 to maintain effective cleaning coverage, enabling both surface-level and deep internal dust removal without manual repositioning.

[0055] The ball-and-socket joint mentioned above couples the telescopic rod 114 to the circular bristle plate 113, providing multi-axis angular mobility. The joint allows the bristle to pivot in all directions, conforming to surface contours and internal recesses. During operation, the joint adjusts the bristles 112 orientation dynamically in response to resistance or contact feedback, ensuring consistent cleaning pressure. The joint’s design prevents overextension or misalignment, maintaining structural stability of the bristles 112. The joint ensures complete surface coverage, facilitates access to tight spaces, and enhances cleaning efficiency without requiring manual adjustment of the bristle plate 113 orientation.

[0056] A voice module including a speaker 115 and microphone 116 is configured inside the housing 101 to facilitate bidirectional audio communication. The module receives input signals from the microphone 116 when a user issues a voice command, transmits the signals to the control unit for processing, and interprets the commands to control operational settings of the device. Simultaneously, the module generates output signals received from the control unit, which are transmitted to the speaker 115 to provide audible alerts, notifications, or confirmations. The module operates continuously to ensure real-time response, enabling hands-free operation while maintaining synchronization between voice input detection and alert output without requiring manual intervention.

[0057] The speaker 115 herein receives electrical audio signals from the control unit. Upon receipt, the speaker 115 converts the electrical signals into mechanical vibrations through a diaphragm, generating sound waves perceivable by the user. The speaker 115 is configured to produce alerts, notifications, or feedback corresponding to operational states or voice commands. The output volume, frequency, and duration are regulated by the control unit to ensure clarity and audibility. The speaker 115 functions in real time, allowing immediate audible response to system events, commands, or alerts, thereby enhancing interaction efficiency and ensuring synchronized communication.

[0058] The microphone 116 mentioned herein continuously capture acoustic signals generated by the user. The microphone 116 converts the received sound waves into corresponding electrical signals and transmits them to the control unit for processing. The signals are analyzed to detect and interpret voice commands, enabling execution of device operations and settings adjustments. The microphone 116 operates with sufficient sensitivity to recognize commands in varied acoustic environments while filtering background noise. The control unit ensures immediate processing and accurate command recognition, facilitating hands-free control of the device, continuous monitoring of user input, and coordination with the speaker 115 for audible feedback.

[0059] A machine learning protocol is integrated with the control unit to enable adaptive cooling management of the system. The control unit continuously collects and monitors real-time thermal data from temperature sensors installed across critical hardware components. Using historical thermal profiles, workload patterns, and hardware configuration parameters, the control unit inputs these data sets into the machine learning protocol. The protocol processes the input data to identify trends, correlations, and anomalies, and generates predictive models. Based on the predictions, the protocol provides control signals to adjust cooling capacity dynamically, thereby maintaining optimal thermal conditions.

[0060] The machine learning protocol involves systematic data acquisition, preprocessing, and model inference to regulate system cooling. Initially, the protocol receives historical thermal data, workload metrics, and hardware specifications from the control unit. The data is processed to remove noise and normalize features. A predictive protocol, trained on previous thermal responses, calculates the expected temperature rise under current operating conditions. The output of the protocol is then converted into actionable commands for the cooling actuators. The protocol continuously updates its predictions as new thermal and workload data become available, enabling real-time, adaptive control of system cooling capacity while ensuring energy efficiency and hardware protection.

[0061] The IoT connectivity module enables continuous real-time remote monitoring and control of multiple IT stations, allowing system administrators to access operational data from any location. The module collects and transmits critical performance parameters to a centralized platform, where data analytics are performed to evaluate system performance and efficiency. Based on the analysed data, the module generates predictive maintenance alerts to prevent potential failures and reduce downtime. Additionally, the module facilitates cloud-based performance optimization by automatically adjusting operational settings according to workload patterns and environmental conditions, thereby enhancing overall system reliability, efficiency, and longevity across all connected IT stations.

[0062] The present invention operates in the following manner, where the user opens the automated access door 102 of the housing 101 to place the CPUs and consoles onto the dedicated platforms 103, each equipped with the contact-based temperature sensor and proximity sensor. The proximity sensor detects the presence of the hardware, while the temperature sensor continuously monitors thermal load. The control unit receives inputs from these sensors and processes data in real time. The AI camera 111 integrated with the laser sensor captures the internal configuration of the installed hardware and cross-references hardware specifications stored in the database to dynamically adjust cooling parameters. The control unit controls the suction pumps at each sub-station 105 to draw coolant from the centralized coolant solution tank 104 through conduit pipes 107 monitored by flow sensors, ensuring optimal coolant circulation. The mechanical shutters 108 operate based on temperature stabilization feedback to regulate airflow, while the air filtration modules 109 prevent particulate accumulation. The compact fan 110 in each sub-station 105 generates adaptive airflow, further directed by the circular shroud. The voice module allows audible alerts and voice command interaction. Machine learning protocol within the control unit continuously adapts cooling strategies based on historical data. The IoT module enables remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, ensuring continuous system efficiency.
