Problems solved by technology

As a result, in the case of a direct blow into the computer room, it is sometimes impossible for the air conditioning installation to show its air-conditioning ability as designed and carry out necessary cooling because of difficulty in even air-conditioning of the whole room and large differences in the temperature depending on locations in the computer room.
Also, in the case of a blow into a space under a free access floor, it is sometimes impossible for the air conditioning installation to show its air-conditioning ability as designed because many cables ordinarily disposed in the space prevent smooth flowing of a stream of cool air.
But in this case, higher driving cost for the air conditioning installation is required in addition to significantly increased power consumption.
Therefore, this choice is disadvantageous ...

Embodiment Construction

[0050]Embodiment(s) of the present invention will be described below.

[0051]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a computer room where computer apparatuses are installed, and an air conditioning installation which air-conditions the computer room.

[0052]In a computer room 10 shown in FIG. 1, there are disposed servers 111, 112 and storage 113 each of which is a kind of large computer.

[0053]Also, there is respectively provided an inlet duct 21 near a floor of the computer room 10 through which air is sent from an air-conditioner 20. In addition, inlet fans 22a, 22b, 22c are disposed on the inlet duct 21 at the respective positions corresponding to the servers 111, 112 and the storage 113 which are subjects to be cooled.

[0054]The upper surface of the inlet duct 21 is made of a combination of unit panels. Therefore, it is possible to dispose the inlet fans at desired positions by combining the unit panels. As a result, options as to where the computer apparatuses are disposed in the roo...

Abstract

An air conditioning installation cools computer apparatuses by air-conditioning a room where the computer apparatuses are installed. The air conditioning installation includes:(a) an inlet duct for making air flow into the room; (b) an air-conditioner which sends air into the inlet duct, and (c) inlet fans for the respective computer apparatuses to be cooled. The inlet fans are disposed at positions corresponding to inlets of the computer apparatuses installed in the room, and send air flown through the inlet duct into the room such that the air flows toward the inlets of the computer apparatuses.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an air conditioning installation which air-conditions a room where computer apparatuses for data processing are installed in order to cool the computer apparatuses, and a computer system which has computer apparatuses and an air-conditioning installation.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventionally, there has been employed a method in which a room where plural large computer apparatuses, for example, servers and storages are installed is air-conditioned so as to cool these computer apparatuses.[0005]When an air conditioning installation for the computer room is designed, air-conditioning ability is estimated based on a total heating value of the computer apparatuses installed in the computer room. Then, an amount of cool air required for necessary air-conditioning ability is blown directly into the computer room or is blown into a space under a free access floor for cable ...
