1. An immersion-cooling apparatus, comprising:
a tank having a bottom and one or more walls at least partially enclosing a first interior volume, the tank further having an interior surface;
a liner disposed within the first interior volume of the tank, the liner having an exterior surface and a second interior volume configured to retain an object therein;
an inflow channel defined within the first interior volume of the tank and disposed between the tank and the liner;
an inlet fluidly coupled to the tank and disposed in fluid communication with the inflow channel;
an outflow channel defined within the first interior volume of the tank, wherein the outflow channel is at least partially disposed between the bottom of the tank and the exterior surface of the liner;
an outlet fluidly coupled to the tank and disposed in fluid communication with the outflow channel;
a divider disposed on the interior surface of the tank, the exterior surface of the liner, or both, wherein the divider partitions at least a portion of the first interior volume of the tank into the inflow channel and the outflow channel; and
a vent aperture disposed within the liner, wherein the vent aperture is in fluid communication with the inflow channel, thereby enabling the dielectric liquid to enter into the second interior volume of the liner via the vent aperture.
