  • Systems and methods for cooling in power distribution centers
    Patent number: 12356593
    Abstract: A power distribution center includes a housing comprising multiple walls and multiple openings, one or more UPS modules and battery racks, and at least one exhaust air duct disposed above the one or more UPS modules and battery racks. The at least one exhaust air duct has an outlet aligned with at least one first opening. The power distribution center is configured to receive cooling air from outside the power distribution center and convey the cooling air to the one or more UPS modules and battery racks. The one or more UPS modules and battery racks are configured to transfer thermal energy to the cooling air, thereby creating heated exhaust air. The at least one exhaust air duct is configured to receive and convey the heated exhaust air to the at least one first opening to expel the heated exhaust air to an exterior space.
