Patent number: 9648788Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, a server room managing air conditioning system includes: a first coil; a second coil; and an air supply fan. The first coil adjusts returned air of a server room to a predetermined temperature value lower than a supplied air temperature target value and dehumidifies the returned air. The second coil adjusts the returned air of the server room to a predetermined temperature value higher than the supplied air temperature target value so that the supplied air temperature target value and a supplied air humidity target value can be achieved when the returned air is mixed with air adjusted by the first coil. The air supply fan mixes the returned air and supplies the mixed returned air as the supplied air to the server room.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Dai Murayama, Yasuo Takagi, Yuuichi Hanada, Hideyoshi Ootani, Tomoyuki Kinoshita, Hiroshi Morimoto, Koubun Takahashi

Patent number: 9237680Abstract: In an embodiment, an air conditioning system for managing a server room, which has first and second spaces separated from each other, in which a server is installed between the first and second spaces, and supply air flowed into the first space is heated by heat generation of the server, and flows out as return air via the second space, includes: a cold air generation device; an air supply fan; a first differential pressure gauge; and a control device. The cold air generation device generates supply air satisfying a predetermined condition. The air supply fan flows the generated supply air into the first space. The first differential pressure gauge measures a differential pressure of a static pressure of the second space with respect to a static pressure of the first space.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Dai Murayama, Yasuo Takagi, Yuuichi Hanada, Hideyoshi Ootani, Tomoyuki Kinoshita, Hiroshi Morimoto, Koubun Takahashi

Patent number: 9188356Abstract: According one embodiment, an air-conditioning system is connected to a server room, in which server racks accommodating a plurality of servers are placed between separated first and second spaces, by a return air duct and a supply air duct. In the server room, an airflow is formed so that cold air flown from under the floor into the first space is heated by heat generation of the servers and is flown out from the second space as return air. The system sets control contents for generating supply air within a previously determined supply air temperature target range and a previously determined supply air humidity target range and controls the operation of each device in the system based on the set control contents.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Dai Murayama, Yasuo Takagi, Yuuichi Hanada, Hideyoshi Ootani, Tomoyuki Kinoshita, Hiroshi Morimoto, Koubun Takahashi

Patent number: 9033776Abstract: An embodiment includes a first space, a second space, a first damper, a second damper, and a third damper. The first space is connected to a cold space, having cold air reside therein to send to the cold space. The second space has return air reside therein, as it is discharged from a hot space. The first damper has an opening adjusted under control of a controller to take in outdoor air to the first space, and is operable to have an open state in an emergency with a server being supplied with power. The second damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to discharge return air in the second space, outside thereof, and is operable to have an open state in the emergency. The third damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to recirculate return air in the second space to the first space.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tomoyuki Kinoshita, Yuuichi Hanada, Hideyoshi Ootani, Yasuo Takagi, Dai Murayama, Hiroshi Morimoto, Koubun Takahashi

Patent number: 8961279Abstract: Some embodiment includes an air conditioner, an air blower, a sensor, and a controller. The air conditioner works for supply to cold spaces. The air blower produces streams of air in and between a server room and an air conditioning system. The sensor takes a measure of current or power as consumption at servers. The controller operates on the measure at the sensor, to control the air blower.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yasuo Takagi, Dai Murayama, Yuuichi Hanada, Hideyoshi Ootani, Tomoyuki Kinoshita, Hiroshi Morimoto, Koubun Takahashi
