1. A system comprising:
a tank, wherein the tank is configured to hold a liquid phase and a gas phase of a fluid;
a structure within the tank configured to hold one or more computer components to be at least partially submerged within the liquid phase of the fluid during an operation of the system, the one or more computer components configured to process data;
a vapor recovery system in fluid communication with the tank and configured to receive and condense the gas phase of the fluid into the liquid phase of the fluid to maintain pressure equilibrium within the tank;
a heating element configured to heat the liquid phase of the fluid in the tank; and
a controller configured to regulate the heating element,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive data relating to an operational load of the one or more computer components, a temperature, or both; and
regulate the heating element based on the operational load of the one or more computer components, the temperature, or both;
wherein the vapor recovery system comprises a bellows configured to receive the gas phase of the fluid,
wherein the bellows is operable to reduce pressure build up in the tank; and
wherein the controller is further configured to receive data relating to a size of the bellows, and
wherein the controller is further configured to regulate the heating element based on the size of the bellows.
