    摘要: Automated locating of electronics racks within a data center room is provided. The automated approach employs n wireless identification units associated with respective electronics racks of the data center, and first and second transceiver units positioned within the data center along a common plane at known X,Y locations. A monitor unit is in communication with the transceiver units, and automatically determines X,Y location within the data center room of each respective electronics rack employing, in part, first time differentials between transmission of a first broadcast signal by the first transceiver unit and receipt of response signals from the wireless identification units, second time differentials between transmission of a second broadcast signal from the second transceiver unit and receipt of response signals thereto from the wireless identification units, and the known X,Y locations within the data center of the transceiver units.

    摘要: A method is provided for facilitating cooling of an electronic component. The method includes: providing a refrigerant loop configured for refrigerant to flow through the loop; coupling a compressor in fluid communication with the loop, wherein a first portion of the loop resides upstream of a refrigerant inlet of the compressor, and a second portion resides downstream; and disposing a controllable thermoelectric array in thermal communication with the refrigerant loop. The thermoelectric array is disposed with the first portion of the refrigerant loop at least partially in thermal contact with the first side of the array, and the second portion of the loop at least partially in thermal contact with a second side of the array. The array is controlled to ensure that refrigerant in the refrigerant loop entering the compressor is in a superheated thermodynamic state.
