Abstract
A method and system for high density modular cooling system is disclosed. Cooling coils and fans are interleaved so as to cover all usable space with the enclosed area behind the interleaved cooling coils and fans acting as a plenum. A cooling fluid is circulated through the cooling coils by the interleaved fans.
Claims19
A cooling system comprising:
- A first surface;
- a wall sealably engaging said first surface;
- a fan;
- a cooling coil abutting said fan to form a second surface;
- said second surface sealably engages said wall;
- said first surface, said second surface and said wall define an enclosed area to be used as a plenum;
- a gas may be circulated out of said plenum into proximal location with a heat generating object, then through said cooling coils back into said plenum by said fan.
4 more elements
A cooling system comprising:
- A first surface and a second surface;
- a wall sealably engaging said first surface and said second surface at said walls upper and lower boundaries;
- a fan;
- a cooling coil abutting said fan to form a third surface;
- said third surface sealably engages said first surface, said second surface and said wall;
- said first surface, said second surface, said third surface and said wall define an enclosed area to be used as a plenum;
- a gas may be circulated out of said plenum into proximal location with a heat generating object, then through said cooling coils back into said plenum by said fan.
4 more elements
A method for providing high density cooling comprising:
- abutting a fan coil and a fan to form a second surface;
- forming an enclosed area by sealably engaging a wall, a first surface and the second surface;
- circulating a gas out of said enclosed area into proximal location with a heat generating object through said cooling coils back into said enclosed area by said fan.
A method for providing high density cooling comprising:
- interleaving a fan coil and a fan to form a third surface;
- forming an enclosed area by coupling a wall, a first surface, a second surface and the third surface;
- circulating a gas out of said enclosed area then through said cooling coils back into said enclosed area by said fan.
