PCM COOLING

摘要

Temperature and threshold parameters relating to the cooling system are received. A control condition suitable for the cooling system is determined. If the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold, the working fluid passage between the free cooling device and the system to be cooled and the working fluid passage between the free cooling device and the PCM cooling device are turned on, in addition to the PCM cooling device is set into the first working mode. If the ambient temperature, AT, is higher than the second temperature threshold and the temperature of the PCM material is lower than the melted state temperature threshold, the working fluid passage between the PCM cooling device and the system to be cooled is turned on, the working fluid passages relating to the free cooling device is turned off, and the PCM cooling device is set into the second working mode.

主权项

1. A cooling device comprising:
a cooling tank with one or more sidewalls; a tube filled with Phase Change Material (PCM) material, arranged in the cooling tank; an inlet module, configured to introduce working fluid from a free cooling device in a first working mode, and to introduce working fluid from a system to be cooled in a second working mode; a distribution system used to distribute the working fluid introduced from the inlet module, such that it is in contact with the tube; and an outlet module, configured to discharge the working fluid having contacted with the tube into the free cooling device in the first working mode, and to discharge the working fluid having contacted with the tube into the system to be cooled in the second working mode.
