Abstract
Example implementations relate to a cool fluid reservoir for managing loss of cool fluid in a coolant distribution unit (CDU). The cool fluid reservoir includes a cylinder which has an internal volume defined between an inlet and outlet, and a hollow piston that is slidably connected to the cylinder via one of the inlet or outlet to split the internal volume into a first volume portion filled with the cool fluid and a second volume portion filled with driver fluid. The first volume portion is fluidically connected to a closed fluid loop of the CDU via the hollow piston and other one of the inlet or outlet. The hollow piston is slidably driven by the driver fluid to reduce the first volume portion and inject a portion of the cool fluid from the first volume portion into the closed fluid loop based on an operating pressure of the cool fluid.
