Abstract
Continuing trends of increasing microprocessor power densities and non-uniform temperature distribution pose a significant challenge to the data center cooling. The most usual approach to data center cooling is air cooling but there are certain limitations to that approach. Major limitation is heat transfer coefficient so in order to overcome those limitations, we came up with liquid cooling using water as coolant. To minimize energy consumption of cooling system the objective is to design a dynamic energy efficient and practical cooling solution for high power equipment. Multi-chip module is used as the base for the liquid cooling solution. The main objective of this thesis is Designing flow control devices, find the performance characteristics and reliability of the bimetallic strip in order to increase the efficiency of the system. The reason why we have to use flow control device in liquid cooling is to Control the flow of water from the dynamic cold plate in order to control the temperature fluctuations by using a bimetallic strip as a temperature sensor and using different approaches to control the flow
