Abstract
A server farm ventilation assembly adapted to separate an interior of a building from an exterior while allowing air to pass from the exterior to the interior, comprising of a frame defining an air filter opening, and an air filter subassembly comprising a plurality of air filters. A plurality of removable vertical brackets and horizontal brackets are used to retain the plurality of air filters within the frame thereby allowing filtered air to pass through the air filter opening.
Claims11
A server farm ventilation assembly adapted to allow air to pass from an exterior of a building to an interior of the building, comprising:
- a frame having a plurality of walls that define an air filter opening, wherein the plurality of walls are comprised of a first side wall, a second side wall, a bottom wall and a top wall;
- a plurality of air filters each having a width, wherein the plurality of air filters are positioned to substantially close the air filter opening;
- a vertical bracket having a show surface facing the interior and a flange extending away from the show surface of the vertical bracket and toward the exterior, the vertical bracket further comprising a projection at one end;
- a horizontal bracket extending from the first side wall to the second side wall, having a show surface and a flange extending away from the show surface of the horizontal bracket and toward the exterior, with the flange includes an opening, and wherein the flange extends above an upper portion of a pair of horizontally adjacent air filters of the plurality of air filters;
- and
- a first fastener that secures the horizontal bracket to the first side wall and a second fastener that secures the horizontal bracket to the second side wall;
- wherein the flange of the vertical bracket is positioned in a vertical gap between the pair of horizontally adjacent air filters of the plurality of air filters, and the opening of the horizontal bracket receives the projection of the vertical bracket;
- and
- wherein the first fastener and the second fastener each comprise a fastener hinge and a fastener flange, wherein the fastener hinge biases the fastener flange towards the horizontal bracket.
