A kind of cooling device and cooling method

Abstract

The present invention provides a cooling device and a cooling method. The cooling device comprises a plurality of cabinets which are divided into two rows, are arranged oppositely to each other and defines a hot channel; an overhead cooling unit; a hot channel enclosure module; at least one fan backboard at the back of other types of cabinets other than the first type of cabinets; and an overheadcooling unit controller and a switch. The overhead cooling unit controller obtains linkage information from the switch, the at least one fan backboard and the overhead cooling unit respectively; and corresponding instruction information is determined through calculation according to the linkage information and is sent to the switch, the at least one fan backboard and the overhead cooling unit respectively, so that at least one of the plurality of cabinets corresponding to the switch, the at least one fan backboard or the overhead cooling unit. According to the technical scheme of the present invention, by using the strategy of linking the cabinets, the fan backboard, and the overhead cooling unit through the overhead cooling unit controller, the problem of uneven heating and cooling causedby the mixed deployment of different types of cabinets is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the cooling field, in particular to a data center cooling technology. Background technique [0002] With the rising cost of energy and people's emphasis on green environmental protection, the demand for energy saving in data centers is becoming stronger and stronger. Under the premise of ensuring the safe and high-performance operation of IT equipment in the data center computer room, comprehensively utilizing various energy-saving means to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the data center has become one of the goals pursued by the data center infrastructure. [0003] The existing overhead cooling unit (Overhead Cooling Unit, referred to as OCU) cooling mode to solve the uneven heating and cooling of mixed parts of the cabinet mainly include: 1) Avoid arranging different types of cabinets in the same hot aisle closed module; 2) Reduce the number of cabinets deployed or reduce the load of the cabinets; 3) lower the p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing technical solutions have the following disadvantages: the free deployment of IT equipment is restricted, which is not conducive to software system configuration; the installed capacity of the data center is reduced, resulting in an increase in the cost of a single machine; Consumption rises

[0004] Therefore, how to propose a solution for the uneven temperature of the inlet air in the mixed part of the OCU cabinet, and completely solve the problem that the server inlet air temperature exceeds the standard caused by the mixed part of the cabinet has become one of the technical problems that need to be solved urgently in this field.
