1. A system comprising:
an initial-stage (IS) cooling assembly that comprises a cooling tower having:
an ambient air inlet without an associated heat exchanger,an air outlet,a cooling fluid reservoir disposed proximate a bottom of the IS cooling tower;anda fan dedicated to the IS cooling tower, and configured to move air through the IS cooling tower, a final-stage (FS) cooling assembly that comprises a cooling tower having:
an air inlet,an air outlet,a cooling fluid reservoir disposed proximate a bottom of the FS cooling tower,a fan dedicated to the FS cooling tower, and configured to move air first through an FS air-inlet heat exchanger then the FS cooling tower,anda variable flow water pump that is adapted to pump cold water through FS supply piping;wherein
the IS cooling fluid reservoir at least connects to one or more of the following heat exchangers:
the FS air-inlet heat exchanger;andmid-stage (MS) air-inlet heat exchanger for an MS cooling assembly;wherein warmed water returns directly to wet media of the IS cooling tower and to the IS cooling fluid reservoir for reuse,wherein
the FS cooling fluid reservoir connects to a cooling coil unit of an individual server enclosure cooling system and warmed water returns directly to wet media of the FS cooling tower and returns to the FS cooling fluid reservoir for reuse,and
the individual server enclosure cooling system (ISECS) comprises:
a housing;the cooling coil unit mounted in the housing;at least one fan that services the housing;anda computer-based command-and-control system in signal communication with one or more sensors configured to sense at least one cooling parameter, wherein the ISECS connects to a single server enclosure rack. |
