Patent number: 10588245Abstract: An assembly for extracting heat from a housing for electronic equipment, the housing having an essentially solid top portion and an essentially solid back portion. The assembly includes a first opening in the top portion of the housing, the first opening located at the back of the top portion, proximate the back portion of the housing, a second opening in the back portion of the housing, the second opening located at the top of the back portion, proximate the top portion of the housing, wherein the first opening is contiguous with the second opening, and a chimney external to the housing and coupled to the housing. The chimney encompasses and is in fluid communication with the first and second openings.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: David Lucia, Michael Tresh, Edward Bednarcik

Patent number: 9066450Abstract: The invention provides a modular, configurable aisle isolation and containment system that may function as a hot aisle or as a cold aisle. The data center air routing system of the invention comprises one or more free-standing, essentially identical, modular system units. Each modular unit comprises two sidewalls, a ceiling, and a door or panel at either end to form an interior, enclosed aisle. Two or modular units may be coupled together end-to-end. Each modular unit further comprises one or more sidewall blanking panels that may be removed to create gaps of varying height and width to accommodate one or more IT racks. Each modular unit may also include one or more ceiling-mounted air ducts, baffles and fans to manage air flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2009Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: WRIGHT LINE, LLCInventors: Edward Bednarcik, Michael Tresh, Brian Jackson

Patent number: 8764528Abstract: The invention combines systems and methods for heat containment and cold air isolation for managing airflow and temperature in data centers. The data center contains at least two rows of cabinets containing heat-generating equipment and arranged to form a cold aisle and a hot aisle. The data center system includes panels or doors at both ends of the cold aisle and an optional cover over the cold aisle to inhibit cooled air supplied by an air conditioning system from exiting the cold aisle and inhibit air warmed by the heat-generating components from entering the cold aisle. A chimney coupled to the top, rear, or top and rear of the cabinets is configured to exhaust the warmed air into a region above the rows of cabinets. The chimneys may be ducted to a plenum or suspended ceiling or to the intake of the air conditioning system. Baffles and/or fans may be included in the chimneys, ducts, and/or plenums to control the air pressure.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Wright Line, LLCInventors: Michael Tresh, Brian Jackson, Edward Bednarcik, John Prunier, Martin Olsen, Mark Germagian

Publication number: 20100248609Abstract: An assembly for supplying heated air to a housing with an interior that is adapted to hold air conditioning equipment. The housing has a top portion and a back portion, where the top portion defines a first opening that leads to the interior of the housing, and where the first opening is proximate the back of the top portion of the housing. The back portion of the housing defines a second opening that leads to the housing interior, where the second opening is proximate the top of the back portion. The assembly includes a flue external to the housing and adapted to be coupled to the housing such that the flue encompasses and is in fluid communication with the first and second openings, the flue defining an inlet for conducting heated air into the flue and an outlet for conducting heated air out of the flue and into the housing through the first and second openings. The air cooled by the air conditioning equipment in the housing is used to cool electronic equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2009Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: Wright Line, LLCInventors: Michael Tresh, Brian Jackson, Edward Bednarcik, John Prunier, Martin Olsen, Mark Germagian, David Lucia

Publication number: 20100238626Abstract: The invention provides modular air management devices for directing or diverting air flow within an equipment cabinet or enclosure to provide adequate cooling for non-“front to back” breathing electronic devices, and include a scoop assembly, a tray assembly, a vertical mount assembly, and a shroud assembly. The air management devices are designed to direct air flow to and from “side to side” breathing and “side inlet, rear exhaust” electronic equipment. The assemblies may be mounted inside or outside enclosure rails and may be augmented with fan assemblies.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2009Publication date: September 23, 2010Inventors: Manuel D. Linhares, JR., Michael Tresh, Meagan Foley, David Lucia, Mark Dignum, Dan Murphy, Richard Latino
