Abstract
Example implementations relate to a leak mitigation system for a cooling system in a computing infrastructure. The leak mitigation system may include tank that is pre-pressurized, a valve unit fluidly coupled to the tank and a cooling loop, and controller operatively coupled to the valve unit. The cooling loop comprises one or more tubes to facilitate a flow of a coolant to cool one or more computing devices. The controller may detect a leak of the coolant from the cooling loop, and in response to detection of the leak of the coolant, the controller may operate the valve unit to establish a fluid coupling between the tank and the cooling loop to transfer at least a portion of the coolant away from the cooling loop.
