Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a heat exchanger system comprises providing a heat exchanger system mountable to a rear door of a rack mounted computer system, circulating a heat transport medium through the heat exchanger system, detecting leaks in the heat exchanger system by comparing a first flow rate in an inflow line to a second flow rate in a return flow line, emitting a leakage alert and ceasing further circulation of the heat transport medium through the heat exchanger system when the first flow rate exceeds the second flow rate by a predetermined flow amount, optimizing operation of the rack mounted computer system by monitoring an interior temperature of the rack mounted computer system in a plurality of vertical zones, and optimizing operation of the heat exchanger system by comparing a second temperature measured by a second temperature sensor in the return flow line with a predetermined maximum return flow temperature value.

Abstract: A server rack system comprises a server rack, a raised floor cooling system, and an exhaust system. The server rack includes a base, a front side, a rear side, and an interior portion including first, second, and third server rows. The raised floor cooling system includes a floor surface, ductwork disposed below the floor surface, a blower unit, and a vent. The exhaust system is coupled to the rear side of the server rack and includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and first, second, and third adjustable exhaust channels.
