Abstract: A cooling system includes: a local cooler that is positioned near a heat source and evaporates a liquid-phase refrigerant by receiving heat from the heat source; a turbo compressor that compresses a gas-phase refrigerant that absorbed the heat in the local cooler; an outdoor unit that condenses the gas-phase refrigerant supplied from the turbo compressor by heat dissipation; and an expansion valve that depressurizes the refrigerant supplied from the outdoor unit and sends the refrigerant to the local cooler. The refrigerant is a low-pressure refrigerant having a condensing pressure lower than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A cooling system (100) has a housing (101), a heat exchanger (110) and an air distribution controller (120). The housing (101) including an inlet (102) for receiving air exhausted from the server module and an outlet (103) for providing air to the server module. The heat exchanger (110) is mounted between the inlet (102) and the outlet (103), the heat exchanger (110) is configured that a refrigerant (111) contained in the heat exchanger (110) exchanges heat with air passing through the heat exchanger (110). The heat exchanger (110) accepts variation of the refrigerant liquid level. The air distribution controller (120) is mounted in an inlet side of the heat exchanger (110). The air distribution controller (120) has a movable plate which allows an airflow profile from the inlet to the heat exchanger (110) redirected. The air distribution controller (120) controls the airflow profile depending on the liquid level.

Abstract: An air conditioning control device includes a differential pressure calculation unit that calculates differential pressure between the intake side and the exhaust side of a rack containing at least one server, and a rotational speed control unit that controls the rotational speed of an air conditioning fan on the basis of the differential pressure. The rotational speed control unit increases or decreases the rotational speed of the air conditioning fan depending on the variation of the differential pressure in the event of a change in the rotational speed of the air conditioning fan.
