  • Patent number: 9534804
    Abstract: According to the embodiment, the air conditioning system for a server changes air conditioning control target values within a certain range when outside air and return air both have higher specific enthalpy than the target state and hence the mixed air of the outside air and the return air cannot be adjusted to air in the target state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9185829
    Abstract: A system for a server room management includes an air-conditioning control device including: an acquisition unit; a setting unit that sets content for generating supply air at temperature, absolute humidity, and relative humidity within target range, based on outside air temperature and humidity as well as return air temperature; and a controller controlling amount of outside air, amount of return air, control amount of humidifier, control amount of cooler, and amount of air blown by blower, based on the content. If the outside air is within range greater than absolute humidity upper limit, or within range greater than enthalpy upper limit and greater than the temperature upper limit, the setting unit compares outside air and return air, and then determines, in accordance with the comparison, whether to set the content so that the cooler performs cooling by minimizing or maximizing the amount of the outside air.

  • Publication number: 20130058029
    Abstract: A data center is disclosed that includes a container; a server; a rack installed within the container and storing the server; and a curtain fixed to at least one point of the rack or the container and separating an internal space of the container between a cold side and a hot side; wherein the rack is configured to enable the circulation of air from the cold side to the hot side. The curtain is fixed by a removable clamping mechanism. The data center further includes a modular refrigeration unit configured to attach to the container and direct cold air into the cold area. At least one prop is positioned below a bottom of the housing and connected to a container bottom, the prop is configured to absorb vibration of the container or housing.
