PROGRESS OF COOLING OF ELECTRONIC RACK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vapor-compression heat exchange system for progressing the cooling of an electronics rack.

SOLUTION: A system 300 includes an evaporator coil 340 mounted to an outlet cover 330 fixed at the air outlet side of a rack 310 by a hinge, and refrigerant inlet and outlet plenums and an expansion valve 341 all of which are also mounted to the outlet cover and in fluid communication with the evaporator coil. The evaporator coil includes at least one heat exchange tube and a plurality of fins extending therefrom. Respective connect couplings connect the inlet and outlet plenums in fluid communication with a vapor-compression unit 350 which includes a compressor 351 and a condenser 352 disposed separate from the outlet door cover. The vapor-compression unit exhausts heat from a refrigerant circulating therethrough.
