  • Publication number: 20090201645
    Abstract: In a cooling system for an electronic device of the present invention, server rooms in which a plurality of servers are placed, an evaporator which is provided close to each of the servers, and cools exhaust air from the server by vaporizing a refrigerant with heat generating from the server, a cooling tower which is provided at a place higher than the evaporator, cools the refrigerant by outside air and water sprinkling, and condenses the vaporized refrigerant, and a circulation line in which the refrigerant naturally circulates between the evaporator and the cooling tower. According to the cooling system, an electronic device which is required to perform a precise operation with a heat generation amount from itself being large, such as a computer and a server, can be efficiently cooled at low running cost.

  • Patent number: 7428821
    Abstract: A dehumidifying system is disclosed which comprises a dehumidifying element to extract moisture from the air, a rotor to rotate the dehumidifying element, and a heat pump to cool and heat the air within the dehumidifying system. The dehumidifying unit has at least a regeneration zone and a dehumidifying zone. The dehumidifying zone is provided at a flow passage of supply air supplied to a low dew-point chamber and dehumidifies the supply air with a dehumidifying member. The regeneration zone allows regenerating air to pass through the dehumidifying member to regenerate the dehumidifying member. The heat pump is comprised of at least a condenser and an evaporator. The condenser of the heat pump is used to at least heat air passing through the regenerating zone and the evaporator of the heat pump is used to at least cool the supply air before it enters the dehumidifying zone.
