A liquid cooling system utilizing minimal size and volume enclosures, air pockets, compressible objects, and flexible objects is provided to protect against expansion of water-based solutions when frozen. In such a system, pipes, pumps, and heat exchangers are designed to prevent cracking of their enclosures and chambers. Also described are methods of preventing cracking in a liquid cooling system. In all these cases, the system must be designed to tolerate expansion when water is frozen.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for preventing cracking of a liquid system, comprising: a housing for holding liquid having at least one inlet chamber and at least one outlet chamber structure separate from the at least one inlet chamber; and at least one flexible object coupled to form a portion of at least one wall of the inlet and outlet chambers such that pressure exerted on the flexible object increases a volume of the housing; wherein at least a remaining portion of the at least one wall of the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber is rigid. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible object accommodates a predetermined level of fluid expansion. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the predetermined level of fluid expansion is between 5 to 25 percent. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible object being capable of contracting and expanding between a minimum volume condition and a maximum volume condition. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible object being secured within the inlet and outlet chambers. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible object is made of one of the following: rubber, plastic or foam. 7. A method of preventing cracking of a liquid system, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing for holding liquid having at least one inlet chamber and at least one outlet chamber separate from the at least one inlet chamber; and disposing at least one flexible object to form a portion of at least one of the inlet and outlet chambers, a remaining portion of said chamber being rigid, such that pressure exerted on the flexible object increases a volume of the housing, the flexible objects accommodating a predetermined level of fluid expansion. 8.

A method of preventing cracking in a pump, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing having at least one inlet chamber and at least one outlet chamber separate from the at least one inlet chamber; and disposing a plurality of spaced apart flexible objects to form at least one wall of the housing such that pressure exerted on the plurality of spaced apart flexible objects increase a volume of the housing, the plurality of spaced apart flexible objects accommodating a predetermined level of fluid expansion. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the predetermined level of fluid expansion is between 5 to 25 percent. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein the flexible objects being capable of contracting and expanding between a minimum volume condition and a maximum volume condition. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein the pump is electro-osmotic. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein the flexible objects are made of elastomer hinges. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein the flexible objects are made of one of the following: plastic, rubber or foam. 25. The method of claim 19, wherein the flexible objects are fastened to rigid plates of the housing.
