Abstract
Some aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus including: a sensor mounted on an electronic device submerged in a cooling fluid in an immersion tank. The sensor includes circuitry configured to: measure a value of a capacitance of the cooling fluid; and transmit the measured value of the capacitance to a controller device that is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor. The controller device including one or more processors and configured to: receive the measured value of the capacitance from the at least one sensor; determine that the measured value of the capacitance is less than a threshold value; determine that a fluid level of the cooling fluid in the immersion tank is below a threshold level; and perform a remedial action in response to determining that the fluid level of the cooling fluid in the immersion tank is below the threshold level.
