    Abstract: A rack and system for cooling computing devices such as in a data center is disclosed. In one embodiment, the rack supports a plurality of computing devices and comprises a plurality of planar annular sector or trapezoidal shelves, each having one or more positions for holding computing devices. A number of vertical supports may hold the shelves in a vertically spaced arrangement, and an air barrier may be affixed to the rack. The air barrier may have openings for the computing devices to permit exhaust air to flow through the air barrier into a hot aisle. The rack maybe configured to be connected to other similar racks to form a vertical annular hyperboloid or a vertical hyperbolic annular paraboloid, and the computing devices may be installed to discharge exhaust at an angle relative to a centerline of the vertical annular hyperboloid or a vertical hyperbolic annular paraboloid to improve airflow.

    Abstract: An example method for providing cooling capacity and reducing power consumption of a server assembly is disclosed. The method includes receiving temperature information corresponding to a CPU of an electrical component in the server assembly, which further includes an equipment room, and a cabinet fan module positioned adjacent to a side of the equipment room. The cabinet fan module includes electric fans therein, and the electrical component is implemented in the equipment room. The method includes determining a current power level of the CPU, and determining, using the temperature information and the current power level, a first operating speed for the electric fans. Furthermore, the method includes combining the first operating speed with a second operating speed received from a proportional-integral-derivative controller to determine a combined operating speed. The method still further includes instructing the electric fans to operate at the combined operating speed.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid-cooled integrated cabinet, which belongs to the technical field of servers, and comprises a main body. A power distribution module is provided at the upper end of the main body, and multiple computing power modules which constitute a computing power center are parallelly provided on one side of the lower end of the main body; cooling fans stacked on top and bottom in multiple layers are arranged on the other side thereof; the computing power module is cooled by a liquid-cooled module, and the liquid-cooled module is a front and rear drawing structure relative to the main body. The cooling fan bears 8%-12% of the heat dissipation capacity. A cold plate shell in the liquid-cooled module contacts and conducts heat with a chip in the computing power module. The front end of the main body is provided with a hose for cooling medium to circulate; a liquid-cooled module corresponds to a hose; cooling medium flows through the hose and the liquid-cooled module, and then cools down the computing power module. The liquid-cooled integrated cabinet of the present invention is high in heat dissipation efficiency and compact in structure.

    Abstract: An air handling unit can include a first airflow passage and a second airflow passage having separate entrances. A cooling module can be arranged in the second airflow passage for cooling air passing there through. A cover, blocker, or other barrier can move between a position at least partially blocking the first entrance to the first airflow passage and at least partially blocking the second entrance to the second airflow passage. In various aspects, the barrier can be moved to intermediate positions to affect a ratio of air flowing through each of the passages and to thus control an overall amount of cooling provided to discharged air that corresponds to a mixture of the air directed through the cooling module and the air directed around the cooling module, which may be mixed together upon exiting the separate passages.
