  • Publication number: 20220361373
    Abstract: An electronics equipment cabinet includes one or more cabinet walls defining an interior enclosure space for housing electronic equipment and an air management box coupled to an interior surface of one of the one or more cabinet walls. The air management box includes a wall and a plurality of plates detachably coupled to the wall. The plates include a first plate having one or more perforations defining a first perforation pattern and a second plate having one or more perforations defining a second perforation pattern to control the direction and/or volume of airflow to the electronic equipment in the interior enclosure space or from the electronic equipment in the interior enclosure space to the air management box. The first perforation pattern is different than the second perforation pattern. Other example electronics equipment cabinets, electronics equipment cabinet kits, and methods of controlling airflow in electronic equipment cabinets are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10141554
    Abstract: An equipment enclosure includes an inner chamber having a top, a bottom opposing the top, and a plurality of sides between the top and the bottom, an outer chamber adjacent one of said plurality of sides of the inner chamber, and a wall extending between the inner chamber and the outer chamber. The inner chamber is configured to house one or more rechargeable batteries capable of releasing hydrogen gas over time. The wall includes one or more perforations to allow hydrogen gas released by the one or more rechargeable batteries to pass from the inner chamber into the outer chamber. The outer chamber includes an exterior wall having one or more perforations to allow the hydrogen gas in the outer chamber to exit the enclosure. Other example enclosures and methods of exhausting hydrogen gas from enclosures are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180220551
    Abstract: A telecommunications equipment enclosure includes a plurality of walls defining a chamber for housing a heat generating component, an air heat exchanger, and at least two fans. The air heat exchanger defines a first airflow path through the air heat exchanger and internal to the chamber, and a second airflow path through the air heat exchanger and external to the chamber. The at least two fans are positioned in a series airflow arrangement in the first airflow path or the second airflow path. The at least two fans are configured to move air through the first airflow path or the second airflow path to remove heat from the chamber. Other examples telecommunications equipment enclosures are also disclose.

  • Publication number: 20150373868
    Abstract: A cabinet for housing one or more components capable of releasing an undesirable gas over time includes an inlet channel for conveying air from an exterior side of the cabinet to an interior side of the cabinet, an outlet channel for conveying air and undesirable gas from the interior side of the cabinet to the exterior side of the cabinet, and a thermoelectric module (TEM) thermally coupled to the inlet channel and/or the outlet channel for promoting a temperature differential between air in the inlet channel and air in the outlet channel. The temperature differential promotes a flow of air from the interior side of the cabinet through the outlet channel to the exterior side of the cabinet to thereby remove the undesirable gas from the cabinet.
