PLATE-FIN HEAT EXCHANGER SUITABLE FOR RACK-MOUNTABLE COOLING UNIT

A plate-fin heat exchanger has a gas coolant flow path whose length is at least twice its thickness, with thickness measured substantially transverse to the gas coolant flow path and substantially transverse to the liquid coolant flow path. The heat exchanger is well suited (although not limited) to use in cooling units for information technology equipment, and can provide substantial cooling while fitting within an enclosure having the same external form factors as standardized rack-mountable ITE configured to fit into standard IT racks. Thus, a cooling unit incorporating the heat exchanger can be installed just as a rack-mountable server is installed. The heat exchanger can fit within an enclosure whose height, measured substantially parallel to the thickness of the heat exchanger and hence substantially transverse to the gas coolant flow path and substantially transverse to the liquid coolant flow path, is a positive integral multiple of RU (1.75 inches).

CONTROLLING OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS OF A COOLING UNIT

A cooling unit having a liquid coolant flow through the cooling unit and a gas coolant flow through the cooling unit is controlled using a temperature signal representing a present temperature associated with equipment cooled by the cooling unit and a delayed-effect variable signal representing a variable having a potentially delayed impact on the temperature associated with the equipment cooled by the cooling unit. A thermal system model to which the temperature signal, the delayed-effect variable signal, the liquid coolant flow and the gas coolant flow are inputs is used to calculate a projected future temperature associated with the equipment. Responsive to the projected future temperature, coolant flow is adjusted to target the projected future temperature toward a set-point by adjusting the liquid coolant flow and the gas coolant flow. The delayed-effect variable signal may represent, for example, a processing workload or a current drawn by the equipment.

10251311 · 2019-04-02 ·

A cooling system for cooling air in a rack mounted equipment such as computer systems. The cooling system includes a split and staggered cooling system where the cooling is carried out by two different parallel coolers. One of the coolers is pressed against the walls of the cooling duct, but allows some amount of the air to pass around the cooler. The output of that first cooler is also constricted to a similar amount as the air output that passes around the first cooler. The second cooler is downstream of the first cooler, and receives all the air that passes around the first cooler and provides cooling to that air. In this way, two different split coolers can be used to cool the air stream.
