Specification

FIELD OF INVENTION:
The present invention relates to OSRCS, a hybrid cooling system providing
refrigeration cooling to immersion chamber where compute components are
submerged at enclosure level.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:
Enterprise Grade Data Centres or large scale electronic based setups
requires cooling due to heat generated from operation of electronic
components which are put to work for long hours. In this type setups,
traditionally, the cooling is achieved using air conditioners running
constantly, thereby consuming a huge amount of electricity and also
involves high cost. This traditional cooling setups such as air conditioners is
incapable of making custom cooling based on load of a system. For example
a storage server can operate at 45C max load, where as a Compute Server
recommendation will be 35C Max Load. In traditional cooling setup using
air conditioners both systems will be cooled at 35C. This is highly
inefficient. Thus there is a need for cooling system which can cool down a
system based on load of the system in an energy efficient manner.

Furthermore, the traditional cooling setups may be use to cool large
systems but cannot be scaled down to cool smaller setups such as
telecommunications and networking equipments. Thus there is a need of
a cooling system which can be used to cool for both large systems and
smaller systems by varying scalability without affecting the working
efficiency.
The traditional air cooling setups fails to provide environmental protection
and comes with high infrastructure costs in dense deployment scenarios like
data centre, server farm, etc. The traditional liquid cooling also comes with
complex setup, high infrastructure cost, and high probability of liquid
leakage causing system damage. The traditional immersion cooling too
suffers from problems like requirement of high volume of coolant oil, huge
space to accommodate setup, complex setup, high infrastructure costs.
The present invention Oil Submerged Refrigerant Cooling System (OSRCS)
provides solution to all the above stated problems. The present invention is
an enclosed hybrid cooling system which is a combination of immersion
cooling with refrigeration mechanism, having self cooling ability. OSRCS
largely reduces operational costs compared to traditional cooling setup, and
is suitable for varied range of systems and components, is scalable as per
need of the system to be cooled without compromising its working efficiency,
and because of ease of portability the OSRCS can be used at various
location. OSRCS being an enclosed system also protects the target system

to be cooled from external environmental factors like Dust, Humidity etc.
and eliminates risk of overheating due to dust accumulation and further
eliminates need for humidifiers, dust filters etc.

chamber filled with electronic cooling oil; a refrigerant system fitted on a
first dual sided U plate; and a component system fitted on a second dual
sided U plate wherein both the refrigeration system and the component
system are operatively connected to the glass box oil chamber.
