Ultrasound assisted immersion cooling

Abstract

Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with cooling one or more heat-generating components of an electronic device are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an electronic device may include a tank that may include a dielectric fluid and one or more heat-generating components. The electronic device may further include one or more transducers coupled with the tank. The transducers may be configured to generate an ultrasonic wave that controls movement of the dielectric fluid at a location within the tank. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause an electronic device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the electronic device, to:
 identify a heat condition associated with a heat-generating component immersed in a dielectric fluid in a tank; and   facilitate generation, by one or more transducers, of an ultrasound wave to cause controlled movement of the dielectric fluid at a location in a vicinity of the heat-generating component.   
     
     
         2 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a blade server, a chassis that includes a plurality of blade servers, or a rack that includes a plurality of chassis with respective pluralities of blade servers. 
     
     
         3 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 1 , wherein to facilitate generation comprises to facilitate generation of an ultrasound wave with a frequency between 20 kilohertz and 30 Megahertz. 
     
     
         4 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 1 , wherein to identify a heat condition comprises to identify a heat condition, a power condition, or a workload condition. 
     
     
         5 . A method comprising:
 identifying, by logic of an apparatus, a heat condition associated with a heat-generating component immersed in a dielectric fluid in a tank; and   facilitating, by the logic, generation by one or more transducers an ultrasound wave to cause controlled movement of the dielectric fluid at a location in a vicinity of the heat-generating component.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the apparatus is a blade server. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the apparatus is a chassis that includes a plurality of blade servers. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the apparatus is a rack that includes a plurality of chassis with respective pluralities of blade servers. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein facilitating generation comprises facilitating generation of an ultrasound wave with a frequency between 20 kilohertz and 30 Megahertz. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein identifying a heat condition comprises identifying a heat condition, a power condition, or a workload condition.
