  • Patent number: 8395891
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems directed to efficient cooling of data centers. Some embodiments of the invention allow encapsulation of cold rows through an enclosure and allow server fans to draw cold air from the cold row encapsulation structure to cool servers installed on the server racks. In other particular embodiments, the systems disclosed can be used to mix outside cool air into the cold row encapsulation structure to cool the servers. In some embodiments, the present invention involves using multiple cold row encapsulation structures to cool the servers installed on the racks.

  • Publication number: 20110009047
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems directed to an integrated building based air handler for efficient cooling of data centers. Some embodiments of the invention allow encapsulation of hot rows through an enclosure and allow one or more cooling fans mounted internally within the rack-mounted units to draw cold air to cool the rack mounted units installed in the racks and eject heated air to the enclosure. In other embodiments, the systems disclosed can be used to introduce external air to cool the servers. In some embodiments, in addition to the hot row enclosures, the system encapsulates cold rows through cold row enclosures. The cooling fans of the rack mounted units draw cold air from the cold row enclosures to cool the units and eject heated air to the hot row enclosure. In some other embodiments, a control system is used to selectively utilize natural cool air to cool the servers.
