US Patent 11297739 IT enclosure system and in-series configuration

According to various embodiments, described herein are systems and methods for designing and configuring cooling systems for server racks in an IT cluster. In one embodiment, a cooling system can include a connection module with fluid loop connections and standard fluid ports, and a number of cooling modules, such as a heat exchanger module, a pump module, and a first bypass module, and a second bypass module. The connection module can use the standard fluid connections and standard ports to connect the cooling modules together to form a complete multiple function cooling unit. The cooling unit can be attached to an IT enclosure via the fluid ports on the connection module, and fluid loops are connected between the IT enclosure and each individual cooling modules. The connection module can be customized including the cooling ports, fluid loop connections to accommodate assembling of different standard cooling modules and corresponding functions.
