The autonomous immersive cooling container (500, 600) includes a container (500, 600), having sidewalls (508, 608), that contains a dielectric immersion cooling liquid (502, 602), the at least one electronic device (504, 604) being, at least in part, immersed in the dielectric immersion cooling liquid (502, 602). The autonomous immersive cooling container (500, 600) further includes a plurality of cooling structures (520, 620) disposed at non-perpendicular angles on the sidewalls (508, 608), the plurality of cooling structures (520, 620) configured to transfer heat from an interior of the container (500, 600) to exterior air such that no additional cooling subsystem is used to cool the dielectric immersion cooling liquid (502, 602).
A method and an extraction system for extracting an electronic device from a container filled with an immersion cooling liquid are disclosed. The extraction system includes a lifting device for lifting the electronic device from an open end of the container, a liquid dispersing device for dispersing immersion cooling liquid from the electronic device by generating an air flow, and a nozzle configured to be positioned above the open end of the container to limit a spread of immersion cooling liquid caused by the liquid dispersing device.

IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEM WITH DUAL DIELECTRIC COOLING LIQUID CIRCULATION
A cooling system comprises a container receiving a dielectric cooling liquid and electronic components immersed in the dielectric cooling liquid. A first pump causes a circulation of a first fraction of the dielectric cooling liquid in the container for convection cooling of the electronic components. A second pump withdraws a second fraction of the dielectric cooling liquid from the container and directs the second fraction of the dielectric cooling liquid toward the electronic components for direct cooling of the electronic components. A manifold fluidly connected to an outlet of the second pump receives the second fraction of the dielectric cooling liquid from the second pump. One or more outlet pipes fluidly connected to the manifold bring portions of the second fraction of the dielectric cooling liquid in thermal contact with the electronic components.

A cooling system (50) including an immersion case, a bladder and a controller is disclosed. The immersion case (54) is configured to house an immersion cooling liquid, and an electronic component (80) configured to be submerged in the immersion cooling liquid. The bladder (56) is configurable between an expanded state and a contracted state and positioned such that the bladder (56) can be at least partially submerged in the immersion cooling liquid when in any one of the expanded state and the contracted state. The controller (58) is connected to the bladder (56) for modulating the bladder (56) between the expanded state and the contracted state to modulate a fluid level of the immersion cooling liquid in the immersion case (54).
