  • Publication number: 20260150226
    Abstract: An in-rack cooling unit for electrical equipment can include a casing defining an air inlet and an air outlet. The casing can include a top panel and a bottom panel, the bottom panel defining a longitudinal plane extending between the air inlet and the air outlet. A heat exchanger can be mounted within the casing and oriented at a first angle relative to the longitudinal plane. A fan assembly can be mounted within the casing and oriented at a second angle relative to the longitudinal plane. The heat exchanger and the fan assembly can be inclined toward each other such that an upper end of the fan assembly points toward an upper end of the heat exchanger adjacent to the top panel.

  • Publication number: 20260143627
    Abstract: An in-rack cooling unit for cooling electrical equipment within a rack can include a casing having an air inlet, an air outlet, a top panel, and a bottom panel defining a longitudinal plane. A distance between the top panel and the bottom panel can define a height of the casing that is less than 6 rack units. The casing can further include a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A heat exchanger can be fluidly connected between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A fan can define a rotational axis that extends at a first oblique angle relative to the longitudinal plane, with the fan pulling air from the air inlet across the heat exchanger and discharging conditioned air through the air outlet in a direction different than the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 10492336
    Abstract: A subrack assembly can be configured for use with a subrack that includes an installation space for electronic circuit boards, an air distribution duct, an air collecting duct, and a slot. A fan tray can be configured to be slidably and removably received in the slot and can include panel and support one or more electric fans. The panel of the fan tray can at least partly define a first air chamber within the fan tray, and, in cooperation with the subrack, can define a second air chamber within the subrack, with the panel separating the second air chamber from the first air chamber. The one or more electric fans can be configured to drive an air flow through the first and second air chambers, the air collecting duct, and the air distribution duct, to cool the electronic circuit boards within the installation space.

  • Publication number: 20070082598
    Abstract: A housing for holding electronic plug-in modules includes an installation space open toward the front side of the housing for plug-in modules, an air suction space under the installation space, and a fan space above the installation space, in which at least two radial-flow fans are arranged one behind the other. Cooling air flows through the installation space essentially in the vertical direction, and at least a front mounted radial-flow fan is arranged at an angle, so that the exhaust-air flow of the front mounted radial-flow fan flows generally over a rear mounted radial-flow fan.

  • Publication number: 20060215373
    Abstract: A device for levering in and levering out a plug-in unit into and out of a module carrier includes a corner piece adapted for being arranged in a frontal region of the plug-in unit, and a pull lever comprising. The pull lever includes a lever positioned to be pivotable on the corner piece. The lever has a long lever arm and a short lever arm that is adapted to be supported on a lateral profile of the module carrier. The pull lever further includes a handle rotatably positioned on the long lever arm of the lever. The handle is arranged to be displaceable in a longitudinal direction between a starting position in which the handle is freely rotatable, and an engaged position in which the handle is connected force-locking with the long lever arm for pivoting the lever.

  • Patent number: 5409419
    Abstract: A ventilator insert for cooling electronic components in cabinets and racks, the insert including a ventilator housing provided with a cover plate and a front plate. A plurality of blowers are held in the cover plate. The blowers are supplied with air by way of different air intake channels whose inputs constitute partial regions of the inlet opening and start at the front plate. Each row of blowers has an associated separate air intake channel. By differently dimensioning the entrance cross sections of the air intake channels, the cooling air discharged by the ventilator insert can be adapted to requirements while ensuring uniform cooling of the components.
