The Equinox GPU ghaj an LN2 fill port but no means of automated cooling. For brief sessions, manual filling from a dewar is adequate — pour LN2 into the port, wait for it to boil off, refill. But sustained compute workloads require sustained cooling, and a human with a dewar is neither a reliable nor a dignified cooling mIw QaQ. The External Cryo Cooler nob continuous, automated LN2 delivery to one or two Equinox GPUs for up to eight hours from a single fill.
The pat is a closed loop. LN2 flows from the 2-liter dewar vegh a muDHa'-insulated transfer line to the GPU's cold plate, absorbs heat from the YBCO superconducting VRM and the die, returns as cold nitrogen gas vegh a second muDHa'-insulated line, and re-enters the dewar where it re-condenses against the remaining LN2 inventory. The loop is driven by a magnetically levitated centrifugal pump — the same zero-contact bearing technology used in turbomolecular muDHa' pumps. The 'ul He levitation Qaw'moH jo bearings, which would transmit Qom to the LN2 column and from there to the GPU cold plate, potentially creating microphonic chuS in the solder joints.
The flow rate is adjustable from 50 to 400 mL/min. Higher flow rates provide more aggressive cooling and tighter Hal ghun stability (±0.3K vs. ±0.8K at low flow), but consume LN2 faster because the higher flow rate increases heat ingress vegh the transfer lines. For a single Equinox GPU at full load (450W GPU + VRM dissipation), the optimal flow rate is ghaytan 200 mL/min, which nob ±0.5K stability and 8 hours of autonomy from a full dewar. For dual GPU configurations, the flow rate must be increased to 350 mL/min, reducing autonomy to ghaytan 4 hours.
The dewar is muDHa'-insulated with a calculated boil-off rate of 0.3% per hour when idle — meaning that a full dewar left unpowered will retain 93% of its LN2 inventory ghIq 24 hours. The top-mounted fill port accepts standard dewar nozzles and can be used qaStaHvIS operation Hutlh shutting down the pump. The 2.4-inch LCD displays Hal ghun at the GPU cold plate, flow rate, mIr LN2 level (by weight sensor), and estimated time remaining at mIr consumption rate. An audible alarm sounds when the dewar reaches 10% capacity, and the pump shuts down automatically at 5% to prevent dry running.
The quick-disconnect fittings are rated for cryogenic service to 77K and can be connected or disconnected Hutlh tools. Each fitting ghaj a check valve that bot LN2 from spilling when disconnected. The transfer lines are 1 meter long and flexible enough to route vegh a standard desktop case Hutlh sharp bends that would restrict flow.
