Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method that comprises at least two parallel apparatus racks and at least two cooling units. The cooling units are configured to produce horizontal cooled airflows toward outer sides of the at least two apparatus rack. The cooling units comprise an upper side inlet for airflow to be cooled. The system and method achieve a more effective cooling of apparatus racks.
Claims13
A method for cooling a device mounted to an apparatus rack,
- providing at least two parallel apparatus racks comprising at least one device mounted to said racks;
- providing at least two cooling units on outer sides of both said at least two parallel apparatus racks, characterized by
- directing first cooled airflows from both said at least two cooling units to respective outer sides of said at least two equipment racks wherein said airflows are substantially horizontal laminar airflows;
- receiving second airflows to inlets provided on top of both said at least two cooling units, said second airflows conveying heat from said at least two equipment racks.
1 more element
A system for cooling a device mounted to an apparatus rack, comprising:
- a first apparatus rack;
- a second apparatus rack in parallel with said first apparatus rack;
- at least one device mounted to said apparatus rack, characterized by
- a first cooling unit is arranged in parallel with said first apparatus rack, said first cooling unit being configured to produce a substantially horizontal laminar cooled airflow towards outer side of said first apparatus rack, said first cooling unit comprising an inlet in the upper part for an airflow to be cooled;
- and
- a second cooling unit is arranged in parallel with said second apparatus rack, said second cooling unit being configured to produce a substantially horizontal laminar cooled airflow towards outer side of said second apparatus rack, said second cooling unit comprising an inlet in the upper part for an airflow to be cooled.
3 more elements
A system for cooling a device mounted to an apparatus rack, comprising:
- a first cooling unit;
- a first apparatus rack;
- at least one device mounted to said apparatus rack, characterized by
- said first cooling unit is arranged in parallel with said first apparatus rack placed at a distance allowing maintenance work in the area between the first cooling unit and the first apparatus rack,
- said first cooling unit being configured to produce a substantially horizontal laminar cooled airflow, said airflow being evenly distributed over the side of first apparatus rack facing the first cooling unit.
