Example

[0024]The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the present invention, as to its structure, organization, use and method of operation, together with further objectives and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following discussion.

[0025]Referring first to FIG. 1, an air scavenging system which is in keeping with the present invention is shown generally at 10. It will be understood that the scavenging system is located within a computer room 12, within which banks of rack mounted computer devices are arranged in rows such as 14 and 16. The computer room typically has a raised floor 18 which is raised above the original floor of the building in which the computer room is located, and beneath which conditioned air is blown from such as an air conditioning unit 20. It may be that there in no raised floor in a computer room, in which case other means are provided to deliver conditioned air into the computer room. However, such circumstances are rare.

Abstract

An air scavenging system for removing heated air from a computer room, comprises at least one air intake port in communication with a first duct, a plenum chamber having at least one air input to which the first duct is connected, and an air output from the plenum chamber to a return duct for an air conditioner unit which supplies conditioned air to the computer room. The air flow is induced by an electrically driven fan at the output side of the plenum chamber. At least one air intake port is horizontally oriented, and is positioned at any position in the computer room. There are at least as many inputs to the plenum as there are ducts connected to it. At least one air intake port may be vertically oriented and is mounted to a rack which is hotter than the other racks.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to computer room installations, and particularly to systems by which conditioned air which has been introduced into a computer room and which has become heated by flowing over or past power distribution units and rack mounted computer devices, and the like, may be scavenged and returned to the air conditioning unit for that computer room. Thus, a closed air flow loop is formed, and the purpose of the air-conditioning unit is to recool and rehumidify the returned air, as necessary.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Computer rooms that are provided for large enterprises of many sorts, including governments, banks, manufacturing companies, universities, insurance companies, and so on, are generally quite large and have very many rack mounted computing devices and power distribution units installed therein. There is typically also an uninterruptible power supply installed in the computer room. Details of any of those electrical devices ar...
