  • Publication number: 20120049783
    Abstract: An auxiliary power supply unit of a data center includes a thermoelectric chip module and a direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) voltage converter connected to the thermoelectric chip module. The thermoelectric chip module includes a number of thermoelectric chips. At least one sidewall of each thermoelectric chip contacts a hot pipe of the data center. The thermoelectric chips generate a direct current (DC) voltage when a temperature difference between the sidewalls of each thermoelectric chip exists. The DC/AC voltage converter converts the DC voltage into an alternating current (DC) voltage to power an air treatment device of the data center.

  • Publication number: 20120013195
    Abstract: A power supply system includes a number of aerogenerators, a number of rectifiers, and a direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converter. A first terminal of each rectifier is connected to a corresponding one of the aerogenerators. A first terminal of the DC/DC converter is connected to second terminals of the rectifiers. A second terminal of the DC/DC converter is connected to a power unit of a container data center. Each rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) generated by the corresponding aerogenerator to a pulsating direct current (DC). The DC/DC converter converts the pulsating DC to a constant voltage DC and supplies power to the power unit.

  • Patent number: 7782615
    Abstract: An electronic device with a cooling system includes an enclosure. A first electronic component and a second electronic component in parallel are received in the enclosure. Air inlets are defined in a front board of the enclosure to receive cool air. A first flow of the cool air passes through a main airflow path to cool the first electronic component and the second electronic component. A second flow of the cool air passes through an auxiliary airflow path to cool the second electronic component. The main airflow path and the auxiliary airflow path are separated by a clapboard. The cool air heated by the first and second electronic components is then exhausted through the air outlets defined in a back board of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 7218518
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device with heat pipes is described. The heat dissipation device has at least one L-shaped heat pipe, a plurality of heat fins, and a heat sink base. One end of the L-shaped heat pipe is coupled to one heat pipe fixing trench of the heat sink base so as to increase a contact area for transmitting heat and therefore improve a heat dissipation efficiency thereof. The heat fins includes at least one upper heat fin and at least one lower heat fin to couple to the L-shaped heat pipe via a round opening and a long opening respectively. The heat dissipation device therefore reduces a volume thereof and save an occupation space in an electrical device.
