  • Patent number: 11116114
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a data center cooling system includes one or more information technology (IT) rooms having multiple electronic racks that generate heat. An external cooling unit is positioned above the IT rooms and is configured to provide cooling fluid and to exchange heat carried by the cooling fluid. The external cooling unit has a supply line to distribute cooling fluid downwardly to the IT rooms. As the cooling fluid cools the electronic racks, the cooling fluid heats up and at least partially turns to vapor which rises due to convection. The external cooling unit also has a return line to return the rising vapor to the external cooling unit, which cools the vapor. The vapor changes phase to liquid and is recirculated to the IT rooms.

  • Patent number: 11096317
    Abstract: Systems and method for thermally managing display assemblies are provided. A closed loop pathway for circulating gas includes a channel located behind an electronic display located at a housing. A fan unit is positioned within the rear channel. A storage area for an equipment storage device is located within or adjacent to the channel and is partitioned by a barrier. A loopback channel accepts a flow of the circulating gas and forms a pathway about the equipment storage device. The fan unit generates an area of relatively high pressure circulating gas compared to circulating gas in the storage area, which causes a portion of the circulating gas to travel through the loopback channel to cool equipment stored at the equipment storage device.
