Abstract: A heat exchange system includes a first heat exchanger subassembly, a second heat exchanger subassembly, a first nozzle configured to spray fluid at the first heat exchanger subassembly, and a second nozzle configured to spray fluid at the second heat exchanger subassembly. The heat exchange system further includes memory storing controller-executable instructions and a controller configured to execute the instructions, which cause the controller to activate the first nozzle when an outdoor temperature is below a threshold temperature, and activate the first nozzle and the second nozzle when the outdoor temperature is above the threshold temperature.

Abstract: A floor system for detecting refrigerant includes one or more tiles. Each tile includes a tile body having a cavity formed therein and a grille element positioned within the cavity of the tile body. The grille element is configured to receive air from at least one of above or below the tile body. Each tile further includes a control assembly associated with the grille element. The control assembly includes a refrigerant sensing device to detect refrigerant in the received air. The control assembly is configured to output a signal indicating a detection of refrigerant.

Abstract: A modular chiller system includes a switching and pumping module, one or more drycooler modules, and one or more chiller modules. The switching and pumping module, the one or more drycooler modules, and the one or more chiller modules share same water, power, and signal interfaces. The cooling capacity of the modular chiller system may be increased by adding drycooler modules or chiller modules without additional hydraulic and electrical infrastructures.

Abstract: A flooring assembly includes a base for supporting at least one flooring element. A pin is secured to the base and extends from the upper surface of the base. The pin has a body portion adjacent to the base and a head portion extending upwardly from the body portion. The head portion has a lower head surface. A recess is formed in a flooring element. A collar is positioned adjacent to the recess. The collar has an inner diameter that is less than a diameter of the recess. The collar has an upper collar surface configured to engage the lower head surface to limit a vertical motion of the flooring element with respect to the base when a central vertical axis of the pin is laterally offset from a central vertical axis of the recess. In some embodiments, petals secured in the recess are used instead of a collar.

Abstract: A computer room air conditioner (CRAC) unit includes a housing having an inlet configured to receive IT air and an outlet configured to exhaust treated air. The CRAC unit further includes a heat exchanger supported by the housing and disposed between the inlet and the outlet of the housing and at least one fan module supported by the housing. The at least one fan module is configured to draw IT air into the housing through the inlet, direct IT air through the heat exchanger, and exhaust treated air through the outlet. The CRAC unit further includes an airfoil frame secured to the housing at the inlet of the housing.

Abstract: According to various aspects and embodiments, a system and method for controlling humidity and temperature are disclosed. The system includes temperature and humidity sensors, at least one unit configured to cool, heat, dehumidify, and humidify air, and a control module. The control module is configured to receive set point values for the temperature and humidity and to receive measured air and temperature values from the sensors. The control module then calculates differences between the measured values and the set point values to determine respective temperature and humidity error values. The control module controls the operation of the at least one unit based on a comparison between the temperature error value and the humidity error value.
