Abstract
A data center humidification system can include a housing configured to be mounted within a server cabinet, the housing having an inlet for receiving warm air and an outlet for ejecting humid air, a wetted media within the housing proximate to the inlet, a liquid delivery pipe at least partially within the housing and configured to deliver liquid to the wetted media, at least one outlet droplet trapping media within the housing proximate to the outlet, and at least one fan configured to move air through the housing.
Claims19
A data center humidification system, comprising:
- a housing configured to be mounted within a server cabinet, the housing having an inlet for receiving warm air and an outlet for ejecting humid air;
- an inlet wetted media within the housing proximate to the inlet;
- a liquid delivery pipe at least partially within the housing and configured to deliver liquid to the inlet wetted media;
- at least one outlet droplet trapping media within the housing proximate to the outlet, wherein the at least one outlet droplet trapping media comprises a first outlet droplet trapping media and a second outlet droplet trapping media, and wherein the first outlet droplet trapping media and the second outlet droplet trapping media are positioned at an angle to each other;
- and
- at least one fan within the housing and configured to move air through the housing.
A data center humidification system, comprising:
- a housing configured to be coupled to a server cabinet between the server cabinet and a return air duct of a cooling unit, the housing having an inlet for receiving warm air from the server cabinet and an outlet for ejecting humid air into the return air duct;
- an inlet wetted media within the housing proximate to the inlet;
- a liquid delivery pipe at least partially within the housing and configured to deliver liquid to the inlet wetted media;
- at least one outlet droplet trapping media within the housing proximate to the outlet, wherein the at least one outlet droplet trapping media comprises a first outlet droplet trapping media and a second outlet droplet trapping media and wherein the first outlet droplet trapping media and the second outlet droplet trapping media are positioned at an angle to each other;
- and
- at least one fan within the housing and configured to move air through the housing.
