Abstract
A system, method and computer program product system for evacuating coolant from a liquid-cooled device. The system includes a coolant supply path adapted to be coupled between a coolant supply pump and the liquid-cooled device; a coolant return path adapted to be coupled between a coolant supply reservoir and the liquid-cooled device; and a coolant removal path coupled between the coolant supply path and the coolant return path. The coolant removal path is configured to evacuate coolant from the liquid-cooled device using a venturi effect from the coolant supply path to evacuate the coolant through the coolant return path into the reservoir.
