Abstract
A system for cooling heat generating objects arranged in a room. The system adapts in real time to changing cooling demands of the objects. Remote sensors mounted in proximity to the heat generating objects relay information to cooling units, which adjust their operation in response to the information.
Claims29
A cooling system for discrete heat generating objects comprising:
- a cooling unit and a remote sensor, wherein the sensor is mounted in proximity to the heat generating object and wherein feedback from the sensor controls the operation of the cooling unit.
A cooling system for cooling a plurality of discrete heat generating objects in a room, the system comprising a plurality of cooling units, a plurality of remote sensors mounted in proximity of the heat generating objects, and a central hub for processing information from the remote sensors and transmitting instructions to the cooling units.
A method of cooling a heat generating object comprising:
- sensing a parameter of the environment of the heat generating object, transmitting the sensed parameter to a cooling unit and modulating a parameter of the cooling unit in response to the sensed parameter.
