Abstract

An air conditioner control method applied in a container data center includes a container. The container includes a number of server racks and a number of air conditioners. Temperature and humidity values of the container are obtained. The return air temperature value of each air conditioner are obtained when any temperature and humidity of the container is not greater than any value of a preset range. The air conditioner which has the lowest return air temperature is determined when any temperature and humidity of the container is not greater than any value of the preset range. A current mode of the determined air conditioner is then switched to an air supply mode, a rotation speed of the determined air conditioner is increased, and the rotation speed of the remaining air conditioners are decreased. A related air conditioner control system is also provided.

Dependent claims

An air conditioner control system applied in a container data center, the container data center further comprising a container, the container comprising a plurality of server racks and a plurality of air conditioners, the air conditioner control system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a plurality of modules to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
an environment value obtaining module operable to obtain at least one environment value of the container when the container is in a normal state;
an environment value comparison module operable to compare the at least one obtained environment value with at least one preset range;
a return air temperature obtaining module operable to obtain the return air temperature value of each of the plurality of air conditioners when each of the at least one obtained environment value is not greater than any value of the corresponding preset range;
and
a control module is operable to determine the air conditioner which has the lowest return air temperature when each of the at least one obtained environment value is not greater than any value of the corresponding preset range, the control module being further operable to switch a current mode of the determined air conditioner to an air supply mode, increase a rotation speed of the determined air conditioner, and decrease the rotation speed of the remaining air conditioners.
