Abstract: Examples of hybrid cooling System for datacenters are disclosed. In an example, the hybrid cooling system includes a chiller plant to provide supply of coolant, an air-cooling unit (ACU), and a coolant distribution line. The coolant distribution line comprises a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion in series fluid communication. The ACU receives supply of the coolant from the chiller plant via the first portion. The hybrid cooling system further includes a coolant distribution unit (CDU) coupled to an electronic component in the data hall. The ACU and the CDU are in series fluid communication via the second portion of the coolant distribution line and the coolant egressing the ACU passes through the second portion to be fed back to the CDU. The hybrid cooling system includes a heat exchanger in series fluid communication with the CDU via the third portion of the coolant distribution line.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for cooling a passenger compartment in a hybrid vehicle that operates an engine intermittently during vehicle operation, the hybrid vehicle having an HVAC system including an HVAC duct, a blower adapted to direct a flow of air through the HVAC duct, and an evaporator located within the HVAC duct. The method includes the steps of operating the blower; operating the compressor; allowing a predetermined amount of ice to form on the evaporator during operation of the compressor; turning off the vehicle engine; ceasing operation of the compressor; measuring an indicator corresponding to a remaining amount of the predetermined amount of ice formed on the evaporator; and re-starting the compressor when a predetermined air temp in air duct is reached.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for cooling a passenger compartment in a hybrid vehicle that operates an engine intermittently during vehicle operation. The hybrid vehicle includes an HVAC system having an HVAC duct, a blower for directing a flow of air through the HVAC duct, an evaporator located within the HVAC duct, and a heater core. The heater core has a coolant inlet outlet and is located downstream of the evaporator in the HVAC duct. The method includes the steps of cooling a refrigerant; inducing a flow of the cooled refrigerant through the evaporator; blocking a flow of coolant through the coolant inlet and outlet to trap coolant in the heater core; activating the blower to move air through the evaporator and heater core; turning off the vehicle engine; measuring a duct outlet temperature; and starting the engine when the measured duct outlet temperature is above a predetermined temperature.
