METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COOLING SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS COOLING OF A RACK
A method for controlling a cooling system of a rack, the rack comprising a heat generating component. The method comprises receiving, by a controller, at least one first temperature indications indicative of temperature variations of at least one heat transfer fluid circulating in at least one respective liquid channel of the cooling system; receiving, by the controller, at least one second temperature indications indicative of a temperature of an air flow of ambient air within the rack, the air flow being generated by at least one fan of the cooling system; and adjusting, based on the at least one first and second temperature indications, a rotational speed of the at least one fan and a rotational speed of at least one pump configured for causing the at least one heat transfer fluid to flow in at least one respective liquid channel.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODULAR AIR RECIRCULATION AND HEAT CAPTURE
A module modular containment system for isolating and cooling racks of information handling systems in a facility comprises a plurality of vertical panels coupled to a top panel to isolate the rack from room air and a heat exchanger coupled to a facility water feed that supplies water at a water temperature greater than the room air temperature. Heated air exiting the rack passes through the heat exchanger to transfer heat to the water such that the air is cooled to the first air temperature. An air conditioning system and the modular containment system can operate independently to cool the room air to a lower air temperature for the comfort of people in the facility and to cool information handling systems based on operating parameters of the information handling systems.
MODULAR AND HIGHLY AVAILABLE COOLING DISTRIBUTION UNIT FOR INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS
