Abstract
A cooling arrangement for a server mountable in a server rack comprises a phase change device and a fluid cooling unit. The phase change device includes an evaporator mountable on a heat-generating unit of the server, a condenser disposed outside of the server, and conduits extending laterally from the server, between the evaporator and the condenser. The conduits carry a working fluid heated in the evaporator to the condenser. The working fluid is cooled in the condenser before returning to the evaporator. The fluid cooling unit is positioned along the server rack and receives a cooling fluid from an external cooling facility. A heat transfer module of the fluid cooling unit has an open channel for slidably receiving the condenser. The cooling fluid flows in a water jacket surrounding the open channel. Heat is transferred from the condenser to the cooling fluid flowing in the water jacket.
