Benefits of technology

The present embodiment is a cooling and control system for data centers that is made up of integrated pumps, valves, coils, control modules, sensors, and refrigerant piping network. This system offers flexibility in controlling the temperature in different parts of the data center. It uses a VRF refrigerant system combined with a regulated variable flow rate refrigerant loop. The system is compatible with traditional air handler systems and data center environments, allowing for easy expansion of capacity. It is efficient, flexible, and adaptable to different heat loads. The system integrates with the indoor cabinet design of the data center, providing multiple temperature control zones and long runs of refrigerant piping. Overall, this system offers a unique way to cool a facility and maintain constant operating temperatures.

Problems solved by technology

Traditionally, cooling systems were designed to operate on / off and thus are not efficient at partial loads.
Existing facilities may need more cooling but have limited space for additional system components.
The piping and ducting for typical systems is large and requires use of flame / welding to install.
Therefore, there remains an unmet need in the field of data center cooling.
