  • Patent number: 9807912
    Abstract: A heat dissipating system for a data center includes a return air area and an installation area. The return air area defines a return air damper and an air outlet, and the installation area defines an air inlet damper and an air outlet damper. The installation area includes a fan control unit, a humidity control unit and an electronic device. When the humidity control unit detects that the humidity value in the installation area is greater than a standard value, the humidity control unit controls the return air damper to partly open. Warmed air generated by the electronic device partly flows to the return air area through the return air damper, and the cold air and the warmed air are mixed. The mixed air is configured to dissipate heat for the electronic device, and the humidity in the data center is reduced.
