TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods for cooling components contained in enclosures that reject 500 or more Watts employing two phase passive heat transfer devices including Loop Heat Pipes and devices referred to as LHPLs.
Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are methods for cooling components contained in enclosures that reject 500 or more Watts employing two phase passive heat transfer devices including Loop Heat Pipes and devices we refer to as LHPLs. The methods minimize the amount of energy employed in cooling while at the same time maximizing the quality of heat rejected to the secondary cooling loops that transmit the heat to the outside world. Where data centers provide direct access to chilled water it becomes possible to reject heat directly to cooling towers in locations as hot and humid as Atlanta Ga. eliminating 40% or more of the total energy consumed. The key advances that make this energy efficient performance possible employ LHPLs that have the smallest possible total thermal resistance, methods that maximize their effectiveness and ancillary devices that minimize the energy consumed in cooling with air.
