Computer room air filtration and cooling unit

摘要

A system for cooling air includes an air cooling apparatus that includes an intermediate ducted section with two movable dampers separated by a divider containing a heat exchange element. The heat exchange element can be situated parallel to a direction of airflow in the air cooling apparatus, such that opening both dampers can cause a flow of air to bypass the apparatus and closing both dampers can force the air to pass through the heat exchange element.

主权项

1. A cooling apparatus for an electronic component enclosure, comprising:
a duct element having an inlet, an outlet, and an intermediate portion arranged between the inlet and outlet, the inlet being configured to receive a flow of air; and an airflow control assembly arranged in the intermediate portion for controlling the flow of air through the duct element, the airflow control assembly comprising:
a first controllable damper assembly arranged between the intermediate portion and the outlet and configured to fluidly connect and disconnect the intermediate portion with the outlet;a second controllable damper assembly arranged between the intermediate portion and an elongate chamber, where the elongate chamber is in fluid connection with the outlet, the second damper assembly being configured to fluidly connect and disconnect the intermediate portion with the elongate chamber; andan exchanger assembly arranged between the intermediate portion and the elongate chamber, the exchanger assembly being configured to fluidly connect the intermediate portion with the elongate chamber and to absorb heat.
