  • Rack system and method of determining a climate condition thereof
    Patent number: 8690651
    Abstract: A rack system (100) comprises a plurality of racks (105) arranged to form at least one aisle (120) between them. The aisle (120) is sealed such that essentially all of a cooling medium supplied to the aisle (120) passes through the racks (105). A bleeding opening is provided for enabling a bleeding of the cooling medium out of the aisle (120) and an entering of an ambient medium into the aisle (120). A sensor (such as a temperature sensor) is arranged to determine a medium flow direction through the bleeding opening. In one embodiment, a signal generated by the sensor is used to control at least one parameter of the cooling medium supplied to the aisle (120).

    Publication number: 20110014862
    Abstract: A rack system (100) comprises a plurality of racks (105) arranged to form at least one aisle (120) between them. The aisle (120) is sealed such that essentially all of a cooling medium supplied to the aisle (120) passes through the racks (105). A sensor arrangement (195) is provided to compare the medium pressure inside and outside the aisle (120). In one embodiment, a signal generated by the sensor arrangement (195) is used to control at least one parameter of the cooling medium supplied to the aisle (120). As an example, the flow rate of the cooling medium may be controlled.
