Air-based cooling for data center rack

摘要

A high-velocity low-pressure cooling system (100), especially suited for data center applications, includes an air coolant loop (102), a non-air coolant loop (104) and a cooler unit (126) for heat transfer between the loops (102 and 104). The air loop (102) is used to chill ambient air that is blown across heat transfer surfaces of equipment mounted in data center racks (110). In this manner, effective cooling is provided using a coolant that is benign in data center environments.

1. A conduit assembly, comprising:
a first conduit having a first electrically conductive trace embedded therein, said first conduit having a first end; a second conduit having a second electrically conductive trace embedded therein, said second conduit having a second end; and a connector for connecting said first end of said first conduit to said second end of said second conduit for fluid transfer therebetween, said connector being adapted to electrically connect said first trace of said first conduit to said second trace of said second conduit.
