Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, an immersion cooling system comprises a spring damper, a crumple block, a frictional layer, and/or preloaded spring-based mounts to mitigate the effects of seismic events. In other embodiments, the combined mass of liquids in the immersion tank and a compensation tank is kept constant to maintain the system's response to seismic events. In still other embodiments, an immersion cooling system comprises a tunable mass to provide an active response to seismic events. In yet other embodiments, an immersion tank is located within a housing pallet and is moveable within the palette. Spring dampers dampen tank movement within the pallet and shutoff switches housed in the pallet cause power to components in the tank to be shut off in response to tank movement. Cooling liquid can be transferred from the tank to a secondary reservoir to avoid cooling liquid loss and protect the tank.
