DEHUMIDIFYING AND RE-HUMIDIFYING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AN ELECTRONICS RACK |
摘要 |
Dehumidifying and re-humidifying cooling apparatus and method are provided for an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a dehumidifying air-to-liquid heat exchanger disposed at an air inlet side of the rack and a re-humidifying structure disposed at an air outlet side of the rack. The dehumidifying air-to-liquid heat exchanger is in fluid communication with a coolant loop for passing chilled coolant through the heat exchanger, and the dehumidifying heat exchanger dehumidifies ingressing air to the electronics rack to reduce a dew point of air flowing through the rack. A condensate collector disposed at the air inlet side collects liquid condensate from the dehumidifying of ingressing air, and a condensate delivery mechanism delivers the condensate to the re-humidifying structure to humidify air egressing from the electronics rack. |
