Publication number: 20110009047Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2009Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: Yahoo!
