Patent number: 10154615Abstract: A conditioning unit of the indirect free cooling type, particularly for conditioning computing centers, of the type comprising: an air/air heat exchanger, inside which two air flows, exchange heat: a primary air flow from and toward an environment to be air-conditioned, and a secondary air flow, or process flow, drawn from outside, first fans for moving the primary air flow, second fans for moving the secondary air flow.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: EMERSON NETWORK POWER S.R.L.Inventor: Pierpaolo Barbato

Patent number: 9980413Abstract: A cooling system has a cabinet and a plurality of separate cooling stages including an upstream cooling stage and a downstream cooling stage. At least the upstream cooling state is a variable capacity cooling stage. Each cooling stage has a cooling circuit. Evaporators of the cooling circuits are arranged in the cabinet so that air passes over them in serial fashion. A controller when a Call for Cooling first reaches a point where cooling is needed, operating the upstream cooling circuit to provide cooling and not the downstream cooling circuit. When the Call for Cooling has increased to a second point, the controller additionally operates the downstream cooling circuit to provide cooling. The cooling capacity at which the upstream cooling circuit is being operated is less than its full capacity when the Call for Cooling reaches the second point.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Liebert CorporationInventors: John F. Judge, Timothy J. Schrader, Stephen Sillato, Roger Noll, Gary A. Helmink, Pierpaolo Barbato, Giuseppe Dalla Mana, Lou Monnier, Zhiyong Lin, Benedict J. Dolcich, Daniel J. Schutte, Greg Haggy

Patent number: 8881541Abstract: A cooling system has a tandem compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve and an evaporator arranged in a direct expansion cooling circuit. The tandem compressor includes a variable capacity compressor and a fixed capacity compressor. A controller controls the electronic expansion valve and selects which of a plurality of superheat control modes to use in operating the electronic expansion valve based on control parameters and a current operating status of each of the variable capacity compressor and fixed capacity compressor of the tandem compressor.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Liebert CorporationInventors: Roger Noll, Gary A.
