  • Publication number: 20260262202
    Abstract: A Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) System includes one or more pods. Each pod includes one or more modules. Each module includes one or more components. The HAC system may additionally include system-wide modules. The components, modules, pods, and/or the HAC system may be designed based on customer specifications, and then manufactured and at least partially assembled at a factory or other manufacturing facility. Following transportation of the pre-assembled components, the HAC system may be installed in as at least partially pre-assembled pods or modules at a project site. Diagnostics may be performed on the HAC system. Operational parameters may be monitored and/or adjusted for the HAC system.

  • Publication number: 20260206189
    Abstract: A multistage high-efficiency cooling system provides coolant to both a coolant distribution unit fluidically coupled to liquid-cooled components and an air-cooling component located proximate to air-cooled components via a zone chiller. Depending on a percentage of air-cooled components versus liquid-cooled components within the system, and optionally ambient temperature, the system determines whether to adjust the temperature for the coolant provided to the air-cooling component. In one instance, the outdoor chiller provides the coolant to both the coolant distribution unit and the air-cooling component at a first temperature for operation of the cooling distribution unit, and the zone chiller adjusts the first temperature of the coolant to a different second temperature for the air-cooling component.
