摘要:
A method of providing cooling by a cooling system to a computer data center. The method includes providing a plurality of air-and-water radiators and one or more chillers, the chillers each having a first side in fluid communication with a chilled water loop and a second side in communication with a condenser water loop. The method also includes circulating a first portion of return water coming from the computer data center to a first subset of the air-and-water radiators and through the condenser water loop, circulating a second portion of the return water from the computer data center to a second subset of the air-and-water radiators and through the chilled water loop, and circulating the first portion and the second portion of the return water to the computer data center as cooled supply water.

A computer data center system includes stacks of computers, each of the stacks computer motherboard assemblies arranged vertically with respect to one another, a first row of stacks, the row defined by stacks arranged adjacent to each other in a horizontal line of stacks, and a cool air supply plenum adjacent to the first row of stacks. The cool air supply plenum supplies cool air to a first side of the first row of stacks for cooling computers placed in the stacks, and has a longitudinal axis substantially parallel with an average air flow of cooling air in the plenum. Computer assemblies in the first row of stacks include portions that are closer to the longitudinal axis of the cool air supply plenum than other portions of the same assemblies, or portions of adjacent computer assemblies that are closest to the longitudinal axis for the adjacent assemblies.

An information technology (IT) equipment positioning system comprises a plurality of wireless transponders distributed in multiple locations in the data center and a controller. The controller is adapted to operate the transponders using triangulation to identify and detect positioning according to three-dimensional coordinates for wireless-tagged IT equipment located in the data center.

A server manages power and performance. The server comprises a plurality of processor and associated storage and input/output interface components, arranged into a plurality of independent compute cells. One or more performance metrics descriptive of performance of the independent compute cell plurality are selected and an optimization evaluation of the one or more performance metrics is performed. The independent compute cell plurality is tuned based on the optimization evaluation.

A cooling apparatus comprises a printed circuit board and an air duct positioned adjacent the printed circuit board spanning space and forming an air-guiding channel from at least one system fan to at least one heat sink. The air-guiding channel is bounded on one side by the printed circuit board and on remaining sides by the air duct that compresses against the printed circuit board in a substantially airtight seal.
摘要:
A heat sink includes a heat pipe and a base adapted to allow the heat pipe to directly contact a component. By directly contacting the component, thermal efficiency is increased. Furthermore, increasing the surface area of the heat pipe that is in direct contact with the component also increases thermal efficiency.

An airflow management apparatus is used in an electronic system and includes a flexible air baffle that mounts on a chassis of an electronic device in an arrangement and obstructs air flow between an air inlet vent and an air exhaust vent of the electronic device. The flexible air baffle has a thickness that extends across a gap to contact an adjacent vertically-stacked electronic device.

A heat sink includes at least one heat pipe attached to a base having a substantially flat region for interfacing with an electronic component. Additionally, the heat sink comprises fins attached to the base and at least one heat pipe. The fins and the base may be integral with or attached to each other. Such a heat sink can dissipate heat from one or more electronic components more efficiently as the heat pipe coupled with the fins attached to the base provide alternate heat transfer paths for heat generated by electronic components.
