Abstract
A leak detection apparatus includes one or more detection devices that envelope the various pipe joints of a liquid circulation cooling system. In one approach, the detection devices include a pair of conductors separated by a wicking material impregnated with a crystalline salt that provides a low resistance electrical path between the conductors in the presence of a leak. In another approach, the detection devices include a pair of dissimilar metal mesh electrodes separated by an electrolyte-impregnated wicking material to form a water-activated battery that energizes an alarm in the presence of a leak. In either case, the electrodes and wicking material may be encased with a water-activated sealing material that hardens in the presence of a leak to contain the leakage.
Description
- The present invention is directed to liquid circulation cooling systems for electronic devices and the like, and more particularly to apparatus for detecting, locating and isolating coolant leaks at the pipe joints of such systems.
- Liquid cooling is finding increased application in the electronics industry due to the limited heat dissipation capability of forced air cooling systems and the desire to minimize cooling system noise levels.
FIG. 1 depicts aliquid cooling system 10 for one or more heat producingelectronic devices 12. Thedevice 12 is typically mounted on acircuit board 14, and its upper surface is secured to acold plate 16 ofcooling system 10 by thermal paste, thermal interface material or other means so that heat generated by thedevice 12 is conducted to thecold plate 16. Thecold plate 16 is provided with inlet andoutlet pipes reservoir 18, and apump 20 draws coolant out oftank 18 for delivery to the coldplate inlet pipe 16 a. Heated fluid exitingcold plate 16 throughoutlet pipe 16 b is supplied to aheat exchanger 22 before being returned to thetank 18. Acooling fan 24 driven byelectric motor 26 forces ambient air through theheat exchanger 22, so that the heat transferred fromdevice 12 to the fluid incold plate 16 is subsequently transferred from the fluid inheat exchanger 22 to circumambient air. - The potential for fluid leaks is a significant concern, particularly in electronic systems where the leaked fluid can damage various electronic devices and potentially create a risk of electrocution or fire. As in any liquid (single phase or multi-phase fluid) circulation system, the most likely sources of leakage in the
system 10 are the pipe joints. In the system ofFIG. 1 , for example, theinlet device outlet pipe FIG. 1 , the connectingpipes clamp 36 prevents the pipes from becoming uncoupled. Other possible coupling configurations are depicted inFIGS. 2-4 , described herein. Although the coupled pipes can be soldered or otherwise sealed to prevent fluid leakage, the possibility of fluid leakage remains due to sealing defects or imperfections that occur over time. - Various systems have been devised to address the aforementioned leakage concerns, most of which include one or more leak detection devices and an alarm or other warning device to alert an operator upon detection of leakage. The detection device typically takes the form of a pair of electrodes separated by an absorbent material that is insulative in the absence of fluid but which dissolves or becomes conductive in the presence of fluid. A circuit responsive to the resistance between the electrodes activates the alarm when a change in resistance indicative of fluid leakage is detected. See, for example, the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,922,232; 4,974,739; 5,172,730; 5,176,025; and 5,918,267 which pertain to leak detection in pipelines, and the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,870,447 and 5,086,829, which pertain to leak detection for liquid circulation cooling systems.

According to a first embodiment, the detection devices comprise a pair of conductors separated by a wicking material impregnated with a crystalline salt that provides a low resistance electrical path between the conductors in the presence of a leak.

A power source such asbattery 142 is coupled to arelay coil 144 via aDarlington transistor pair 146 comprising theindividual transistors Darlington pair 146 is conductive, therelay coil 144 is energized to activate a set ofcontacts 156 that in turn activate an alarm to alert the operator that a coolant leak has been detected. Theresistor 154 andleak detector 140 couple the base oftransistor 148 to the positive terminal ofbattery 142, while the pull-down resistor 152 couples the base oftransistor 148 to the negative terminal ofbattery 142. The normal resistance ofdetector 140 is relatively high so that the pull-down resistor 152 biases theDarlington pair 146 non-conductive. In the event of a coolant leak, however, the resistance ofdetector 140 drops precipitously, biasing theDarlington pair 146 conductive to activate the alarm. Advantageously, the circuit elements 144-154 may be replicated to provide a detection circuit for each leak detector present in asystem 10. -
FIGS. 7A-7B and 8A-8B depict leak detection devices having an integral coolant-activated battery that interfaces directly to an alarm device, thereby eliminating the need for remote resistance detection circuitry and batteries that must be periodically replaced. -
FIGS. 7A-7B depict adetection apparatus 160 in the form of an elongated strip that is intended to be wrapped around a pipe joint as depicted inFIG. 7B . When the integral battery is activated, an alarm 178 (such as a piezo-electric sounder) coupled to theapparatus 160 via thewires FIG. 7A , theapparatus 160 comprises first and second electrode strips 162 and 164 separated by a strip ofwicking material 166, and upper and lower strips ofporous fabric porous fabric layers pipe 172, and from each other if the wrapping results in any overlap. The electrode strips 162, 164 are formed of a screen or mesh material so that leaked coolant soaks into thewicking material 166, and the wicking material is impregnated with crystalline electrolyte that is non-conductive in its dry state. In the illustrated mechanization, one of the electrode strips 162, 164 is formed of aluminum, while the other is formed of copper, so that an aluminum-copper cell is activated in the event of coolant leakage to produce an output voltage of approximately 1.2 volts acrosslines electrodes wicking material 166. Other electrode combinations such as copper and magnesium are also possible. -
FIGS. 8A-8B depict adetection apparatus 180 comprising first andsecond blocks equal diameter pipes FIG. 8A in respect to block 182, each of theblocks insulative layer 190, and each stack has a semi-cylindrical recess that is complementary to the exterior periphery of thepipes pipes pipes insulator plate 198. The various aluminum plates 192 are electrically coupled by internal inter-connects, as are the various copper plates 196. As shown inFIG. 8B , a pair ofconductors blocks wires alarm 208, which may be a piezoelectric sounder as mentioned above. As with the embodiment ofFIGS. 7A-7B , the wicking material 194 is impregnated with crystalline electrolyte that is dissolved by leaked coolant to activate the battery cells. - In summary, the present invention provides a reliable and cost-effective means of quickly detecting and locating leaked coolant in a liquid-circulated
cooling system 10. While the invention has been described in reference to the illustrated embodiments, it will be understood that various modifications in addition to those mentioned herein will occur to those skilled in the art. For example, the size and shape of the detection apparatus may be varied to suit a given application, materials other than those mentioned herein may be used, and so forth. Additionally, it is possible to apply two or more staged detection devices to a single location; in such a mechanization, initial coolant leakage is detected by a first detection device, and leakage detection by the second and subsequent detection devices indicates the extent of the leak. Also, the alarm circuitry may be effective to perform auto-shutdown or other functions in response to detection of a coolant leak. Moreover, the leak detection apparatus may be applied as extensively in a system as desired, and need not be confined solely to the pipe joints. Thus, it will be understood that devices incorporating these and other modifications may fall within the scope of this invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
