AIR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT BASED COOLING

摘要

A cooling management system including component racks, a cooling system, pressure measurement devices, and a computing system within a structure. Each component rack includes an exothermic apparatus. The structure includes warm air aisle spaces and cold air aisle spaces located between the component racks. The cooling system feeds cold air into each cold air aisle space. The cold air flows through the component racks resulting in displacement of warm air from each exothermic apparatus. The warm air flows into the warm air aisle spaces and is directed back to the cooling system. The pressure measurement devices measure differential pressure values between the cold air aisle spaces and the warm air aisle spaces. The computing system monitors the differential pressure values, perform calculations associated with the differential pressure values, and control a fan speed of at least one fan within the cooling system based on the calculations.

1. A system comprising:
a plurality of component racks located within a structure, wherein each component rack of said plurality of component racks comprises at least one exothermic apparatus, wherein said structure comprises a plurality of warm air aisle spaces and a plurality of cold air aisle spaces located between said plurality of component racks; a cooling system within said structure, wherein said cooling system is configured to feed cold air into each cold air aisle space of said plurality of cold air isle spaces, wherein said cold air flows through said component racks resulting in displacement of warm air from each said at least one exothermic apparatus, and wherein said warm air flows into said plurality of warm air aisle spaces and is directed back to said cooling system; a plurality of pressure measurement devices configured to measure differential pressure values between said plurality of cold air aisle spaces and said plurality of warm air aisle spaces; and a computing system configured to monitor said differential pressure values, perform calculations associated with said differential pressure values, and control a fan speed of at least one fan within said cooling system based on said calculations, wherein said calculations are used to determine cold air leakage values associated with an amount of cold air leakage in each cold air isle space of said plurality of cold air isle spaces.
