Patent number: 11363743Abstract: Systems and methods for cooling large numbers of computing devices in a data center are disclosed. The devices are positioned on shelves in racks and are connected via network switches. The computing devices are oriented so that their cooling fans all exhaust waste heat to one side of the rack into a hot aisle, and each position is offset from positions on neighboring shelves above and below the current shelf. The racks can be offset, or the positions within the racks can be offset. Each computing device on the rack can also be angled horizontally and or vertically to improve airflow. Multiple racks can be configured together into sloped regular polygons, with the interior forming the hot aisle, and deflectors can be installed to further improve airflow.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Core Scientific, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Fuller

Patent number: 11343935Abstract: A foolproof frame assembly includes a blocking component fixed on a case, and first and second frames disposed on opposite sides of the case. Each of the first and second frames has a foolproof component fixed to one of two side plates thereof and blocking one of two through holes on its bottom plate. When the first frame is in a first mounting position, the blocking component passes through another through hole and form a space with another side plate of the first frame for one of two mounting side plates of the mounting frame to be disposed therethrough. When the second frame is in the first mounting position, a space occupied by its foolproof component overlaps a space occupied by the blocking component. When the first and second frames are respectively in the first and second mounting positions, the foolproof components block the two mounting side plates.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignees: INVENTEC (PUDONG) TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, INVENTEC CORPORATIONInventor: Er-Zhen Song

Patent number: 11224142Abstract: A cooling fan module includes a fan unit and an air flow blocking unit. The air flow blocking unit includes a left-side plate, a left-side support pole, a left-side air flow blocking plate, a right-side plate, a right-side support pole, a right-side air flow blocking plate, and a stop member. The left-side air flow blocking plate and the right-side air flow blocking plate are blown by an air flow flowing from outside environment into a case through the fan unit that is in a malfunction state, thereby rotating by respectively taking the left-side support pole and the left-side support pole as a rotary center thereof. Consequently, the left-side air flow blocking plate and the right-side air flow blocking plate are stopped rotating by the stop member, such that the air flow is blocked, by the two air flow blocking plates, from being entering the case.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: LANNER ELECTRONICS INC.Inventor: Sheng-Han Chiu

Patent number: 11181118Abstract: A method for controlling a fan group in order to generate a predefined total volumetric flow. The group of fans has a plurality of individual fans operated in parallel. Each generates an individual volumetric flow. The group of fans is divided into at least a first and a second control group. Each group has at least one fan. The individual volumetric flow of at least one fan of the first control group is increased by adjusting into a range of optimum efficiency by a speed change. This maintains constant flow. The individual volumetric flow of at least one fan of the second control group is reduced accordingly by a rotational speed reduction. All the fans contribute to the total volume flow at all times and no fan of the second control group will be switched off at any time.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.
