Abstract

A Rack Information Handling System (RIHS) has a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger (LTLHE) that is received in a rear section of a rack and includes node-receiving supply port/s and return port/s. LTLHE includes a first liquid manifold extending between the node-receiving supply port/s and the node-receiving return port/s. LTLHE includes a second liquid manifold capable of being in sealed fluid connection to a supply conduit and a return conduit of a liquid cooling supply for fluid transfer of a second cooling liquid. LTLHE includes a transfer plate formed of thermally conductive material separating the first and second liquid manifolds for transferring heat from the first cooling liquid to the second cooling liquid. RIHS includes a node-receiving chassis configured to receive inserted liquid cooled nodes that sealingly engage for fluid transfer of the first liquid to LTLHE embedded in the rack for heat absorption and transfer by the second liquid.
