Modular cooling system for data centers
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920867B2) discloses a modular cooling system designed for data centers. The system comprises an airflow section forming a duct for air flow, a series of core units attached to each other to form a linear assembly, blower units attached to each core unit, motorized dampers placed between core units and the airflow section, fluid ports on each core unit, and at least one core unit loaded with various equipment. The equipment can include air filters, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heat exchangers, evaporators, condensers, chillers, CRAC units, dry coolers, water spray systems, and cooling towers.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for assembling the cooling system, involving attaching core units to the airflow section, connecting blower units, adding fluid ports and motorized dampers, and loading core units with equipment. The method allows for the creation of various cooling configurations, such as indirect evaporative cooling systems, CRAC systems with chilled water loops, and ambient air cooling systems. Additionally, the method includes configuring different operation modes for the system, enabling the selection of specific cooling equipment, blower operation, and louver operation based on cooling requirements and environmental conditions, with the ability to adjust modes as needed for optimal cooling efficiency.
