    Abstract: An air flow distribution system for cooling server racks includes at least one server rack partially defining a hot aisle and a cold aisle, a first air foil disposed above the server rack, and a second air foil disposed above the first air foil. The first air foil and the second air foil are configured to receive air from the hot aisle, and to form turbulent wake patterns in the cold aisle partially defined by the server rack. The air flow distribution system may include a convex ceiling member above the second air foil. A corresponding method includes causing air to be directed between a first air foil disposed above a server rack and a second air foil disposed above the first air foil to form turbulent wake patterns in the cold aisle. An electrical enclosure assembly includes a receptacle and a cover member configured as an air foil.

    Abstract: A cooling system includes a heat exchanger having one or more rows of multiple flat tubes, louvered fins disposed between pairs of flat tubes, and special header tube connections to form a counter flow heat exchanger. Heat exchangers having multiple rows may be placed near or close to the server racks and may be in fluid communication with an outdoor heat exchanger having one or more rows. A single-phase fluid is pumped through a fluid circuit or loop, which includes the heat exchangers at the server racks and the outdoor heat exchanger. The single-phase fluid circuit including the heat exchangers at the IT racks may alternatively be in thermal communication with a water circuit that includes an outdoor fluid cooler. The flat tubes can be formed tubes with one or more channels, or extruded tubes with multiple channels. The heat exchangers include header tubes/connections, which facilitate easy fabrication and connection between rows and inlet/outlet, and lower the pressure drop.

    Abstract: Modular air cooling and distribution systems include a fan and heat exchanger cooling assembly and a controller which controls the fan speed based on temperature and velocity measurements. The cooling assembly includes a fluid-to-air heat exchanger and a variable speed fan. The fluid in the fluid-to-air heat exchanger may be propylene glycol or water. The heat exchanger minimizes pressure drop and maximizes heat transfer. The quantity of cooling assemblies is selected to match the indoor cooling requirements. The cooling assemblies are easily assembled together, stacked vertically, and/or connected horizontally, to match the cooling load. If additional cooling capacity is needed in the future, more cooling assemblies can easily be added, and the cooling assemblies may be expanded vertically and/or horizontally. The speed of the fans of the fan and heat exchanger assemblies are controlled based on fluid temperature and fluid velocity measurements, which may be obtained by an anemometer.
