Abstract
A method of cooling electronic equipment is disclosed and includes substantially continuously circulating ambient air across a plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices, monitoring the temperature of air in or around a group of devices in the plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices, and providing substantially cooler-than-ambient air to the group of devices when the monitored air temperatures rises above a set value.
Claims20
A method of cooling electronic equipment, comprising:
- circulating ambient air across a plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices;
- monitoring the temperature of air in or around a group of devices in the plurality of rack-mounted electronic devices;
- and
- providing substantially cooler-than-ambient air to the group of devices when a high cooling load is sensed for one or more the rack-mounted electronic devices.
1 more element
A computer cooling system, comprising:
- one or more ambient air circulation fans arranged to circulate air over one or more rack mounted devices in a data center;
- a sensor located near a rack mounted device to sense a load on the device;
- and
- a cooler-than-ambient air distributor near the device and configured to release cooling air over the device.
