Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of data center cooling equipment technology, specifically relating to an air-cooled air conditioning device and method for data centers. Background Technology

[0002] Data centers are facilities that centrally store, manage, and process large amounts of data, typically used to support internet services, cloud computing, and enterprise IT infrastructure. Because data centers house numerous servers and devices that generate significant heat, air conditioning equipment is essential to maintain stable temperatures and prevent overheating that could lead to malfunctions or performance degradation. Air conditioning systems effectively control temperature, ensuring the normal operation of equipment and the security of data. Data center air conditioning systems generally use either air-cooled or water-cooled systems.

[0003] Chinese patent application number 202310648655.9 discloses an intelligent air guiding device for a data center air-cooled air conditioner. It includes a limiting post fixedly connected to the upper end of the air conditioner unit for positioning. A sealing layer for sealing is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limiting post. A connecting block for connection is bolted to the upper end of the limiting post. A transmission pipe for transmitting cold air is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting block. One end of the transmission pipe is threadedly connected to a storage box for storage. A distribution frame for air diversion is provided inside the storage box. This intelligent air guiding device for a data center air-cooled air conditioner, through the arrangement of the distribution frame, filter, and storage box, can divert the cold air generated by the air conditioner, ensuring even cooling of the data center within the computer room. This avoids the problem of excessively concentrated cooling range from a single air conditioner, resulting in unsatisfactory cooling effects. The presence of temperature detectors and the air conditioner unit allows for the detection of the temperature flowing out of the storage box and timely adjustments.

[0004] When cooling a data center using air-cooled air conditioners, the inherent cooling principle of these systems often results in high humidity in the cooling air. Direct cooling can negatively impact equipment within the data cabinets, while using dehumidifiers can affect airflow. Furthermore, given the large number of data cabinets in a data center, it's difficult to meet the same cooling demand simultaneously; the further away from the air conditioner, the worse the cooling effect. Additionally, the larger the space within a data center, the greater the cooling requirement. Therefore, data centers have space constraints and generally cannot accommodate large-scale cooling control systems, leading to limited cooling capacity. Moreover, if the cooling system leaks, it not only affects cooling performance but also often requires prolonged downtime for repairs, potentially causing overheating issues within the data center. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an air-cooled air conditioning device and method for data centers. This invention, through the cooperation of a filtration mechanism with the air-cooled air conditioner body and an adjusting ring groove, not only avoids the problem of high humidity in the air-cooled air from the air-cooled air conditioner body affecting data cabinets, but also ensures strong cooling effect for each data cabinet, avoiding significant cooling differences due to the distance between data cabinets. This invention, through the cooperation of a maintenance box with ventilation hoses, a connecting cylinder, and an adjusting ring groove, ensures that the adjusting ring groove can slide back and forth laterally, allowing for unrestricted forced cooling of different data cabinets while saving space. It also prevents air leakage, ensuring that even if the ventilation hose leaks, it will not affect the overall cooling effect on the data cabinets, and facilitates quick and easy maintenance of the ventilation hose, preventing prolonged equipment downtime. This invention, through the structural design of a threaded cylinder, not only allows for rapid control of forced cooling of different data cabinets through rotation, but also achieves uniform lubrication of the threaded cylinder, preventing problems such as malfunctions and jamming after prolonged use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A wind-cooled air conditioning unit for a data center includes an outdoor wind-cooled air conditioning body, with a filtration mechanism fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air-cooled air conditioning body, the filtration mechanism being located indoors; the filtration mechanism includes an n-shaped tube, with its two ends connected to the air outlet of the wind-cooled air conditioning body and an adjusting ring groove, respectively; a square box is fixedly connected to the middle of the n-shaped tube, and a through slot is provided through the middle of the square box, with a filtration frame inserted into the through slot, and multiple baffles evenly fixed on the filtration frame; ventilation slots are formed between the baffles, the width of three ventilation slots being the width of one square box, and filtration and breathable plates are spaced apart on the multiple ventilation slots;

[0008] The outer wall of the adjusting ring groove is symmetrically provided with a pair of air outlet slots, and the adjusting ring groove is slidably connected to the inner wall of the docking cylinder; the outer wall of the docking cylinder is symmetrically provided with multiple docking slots, and a data cabinet is fixedly installed on the outside of each docking slot. The bottom of the side wall of the data cabinet is fixedly provided with an air inlet mesh slot, and the air inlet mesh slot is connected to the corresponding docking slot; the top of the data cabinet is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the air-cooled air conditioner body through an air outlet pipe assembly; the adjusting ring groove is controlled by a control mechanism and slides laterally inside the docking cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the two ends of the docking cylinder are a first cylinder opening and a second cylinder opening, respectively. The control mechanism includes a forward and reverse rotating motor, which is mounted on one end of the docking cylinder via a bracket. The output end of the forward and reverse rotating motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder column. An external thread is provided on one side of the outer wall of the threaded cylinder column, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the adjusting ring groove. The external thread and the internal thread are threadedly connected. Sliding rods are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the docking cylinder. Sliding holes are correspondingly provided at both ends of the adjusting ring groove. The sliding rods are slidably connected to the sliding holes in a sealed manner.

[0010] Furthermore, a partition plate is provided between adjacent docking slots. When the side walls at both ends of the adjusting ring slot are sealed against the partition plate, the air outlet is connected to the docking slot.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the n-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe outside the maintenance box; a rotating hole is provided on one side of the maintenance box, and the rotating hole is rotatably and sealingly connected to the non-threaded end of the threaded cylinder; the other side of the maintenance box opposite to the rotating hole is fixedly connected to the second cylinder opening.

[0012] One end of the adjusting ring groove is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe inside the maintenance box via a venting hose; the venting hose is wrapped around the outside of the two sliding rods; one end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the maintenance box.

[0013] Furthermore, the threaded cylinder and the side wall of the end near the reversible motor are rotatably and sealingly connected to the first cylinder opening.

[0014] Furthermore, an installation hole is provided on the non-threaded end of the threaded cylinder, and the installation hole is located outside the maintenance box; an L-shaped oil outlet pipe is installed on the installation hole, and an oil injector is fixedly installed on the end of the L-shaped oil outlet pipe located outside the threaded cylinder, and multiple oil injection ports are uniformly fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the L-shaped oil outlet pipe located inside the threaded cylinder; multiple oil outlet micro-holes are provided through the external thread groove of the threaded cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the air outlet assembly includes a main pipe, one end of which is closed and the other end is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the air-cooled air conditioner body; multiple branch pipes are fixedly connected to the side wall of the main pipe, and one end of each branch pipe is fixedly connected to a telescopic corrugated pipe; an air outlet is fixedly connected to the top of the data cabinet, and the telescopic corrugated pipe is installed and connected to the corresponding air outlet.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wall of the data cabinet is provided with a semi-circular docking groove, and the air inlet mesh groove is located on the semi-circular docking groove; multiple ventilation holes are opened at the bottom of the side walls of adjacent data cabinets and are interconnected.

[0017] Furthermore, the maintenance box is equipped with a maintenance door; and handles are fixedly provided at both ends of the filter frame (540).

[0018] The present invention also claims a method for operating the above-described air-cooled air conditioning equipment for data centers, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1. Start the air-cooled air conditioner. When the humidity is high, connect the two moisture-filtering and breathable plates to the n-type pipe. When the humidity is low, connect one moisture-filtering and breathable plate to the n-type pipe. Adjust the ring groove to send the mixed air into the bottom of the corresponding data cabinet. The hot air from the top of the data cabinet is discharged from the air outlet pipe group and refrigerated by the air-cooled air conditioner.

[0020] S2. Start the forward and reverse motor to make the adjusting ring groove slide back and forth in the docking cylinder, so as to achieve forced cooling of one of the data cabinets, while the other data cabinets are assisted in cooling through the connection of the ventilation holes.

[0021] S3. When the ventilation hose is damaged and leaks air, due to the structural design of the docking cylinder, the whole system will not leak air, but will cool all data cabinets simultaneously; by controlling the forward and reverse motors, the ventilation hose is retracted and placed inside the maintenance box, enabling rapid maintenance.

[0022] S4. Start the oiling machine periodically. Under the rotation of the threaded cylinder, the oil is discharged through the micro-holes to achieve uniform lubrication of both the external and internal threads.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) This invention, through the cooperation of the filtration mechanism with the air-cooled air conditioner body and the regulating ring groove, not only avoids the problem of high humidity of the cold air from the air-cooled air conditioner body affecting the data cabinet, but also provides a strong cooling effect for each data cabinet, avoiding the problem of large cooling differences caused by the distance between data cabinets; When the air-cooled air conditioner body is used for cooling, the cold air enters the regulating ring groove from the n-shaped pipe. Through the structural design of the square box on the n-shaped pipe and the filtration frame, the air with high humidity is first dehumidified by the filtration frame. By pushing and pulling the filtration frame, at least one or two ventilation slots are connected to the n-shaped pipe, and at least one or two filtration ventilation plates are connected to the n-shaped pipe, which ensures both ventilation intensity and cooling effect, and also achieves dehumidification. It features a cooling function that can be flexibly adjusted according to humidity levels. Simultaneously, the regulating ring groove delivers mixed air into the bottom of the corresponding data cabinet, while the hot air from the top of the data cabinet is exhausted through the exhaust pipe assembly and refrigerated by the air-cooled air conditioner body. This results in high cooling efficiency inside the data cabinet. Furthermore, under the control of the control mechanism and driven by the forward and reverse motors, the threaded cylinder rotates. Because the external and internal threads are connected, and the sliding rod and sliding hole are sealed and slidably connected, the regulating ring groove is limited. Therefore, the rotation of the threaded cylinder causes the regulating ring groove to slide reciprocally laterally within the docking cylinder, thus periodically forcing cooling to different data cabinets. This ensures a strong cooling effect for each data cabinet and avoids significant cooling differences caused by the distance between data cabinets.

[0025] (2) This invention, through the cooperation of the maintenance box, the ventilation hose, the docking cylinder, and the adjusting ring groove, can ensure that the adjusting ring groove slides back and forth laterally to provide unrestricted forced cooling for different data cabinets, saving space. At the same time, it avoids air leakage problems, so that even if the ventilation hose leaks, it will not affect the overall cooling effect of the data cabinet. It also facilitates quick maintenance of the ventilation hose, preventing problems such as long equipment downtime. Specifically, when the adjusting ring groove slides back and forth laterally to provide forced cooling for different data cabinets, the ventilation hose will be stretched and contracted because the gas is delivered through the ventilation hose. The design of a pair of sliding rods can ensure the lateral sliding effect of the adjusting ring groove and also support the ventilation hose. The system features a limiting mechanism to prevent the ventilation hose from tangling or jamming during expansion and contraction, significantly reducing the adjustment space and meeting the space requirements of data centers. Furthermore, since the ventilation hose and adjustment ring groove are entirely within the docking cylinder and maintenance box, even if the ventilation hose is damaged and leaks, the refrigerant gas will not leak out but will instead enter the corresponding data cabinets through the docking grooves to achieve simultaneous cooling, without affecting the overall cooling effect of the data cabinets. In addition, when the ventilation hose is damaged, controlling the forward and reverse motors allows the ventilation hose to be quickly retracted and placed inside the maintenance box, thus moving it to a relatively external position within the data cabinet. This enables rapid maintenance through the maintenance box, preventing issues such as prolonged equipment downtime during maintenance.

[0026] (3) Through the structural design of the threaded cylinder, this invention can not only quickly control the forced cooling of different data cabinets through rotation, but also achieve uniform lubrication of the threaded cylinder, preventing the equipment from running sluggishly or even jamming after long-term use. Specifically, when the threaded cylinder rotates, it can not only drive the adjusting ring groove to slide laterally back and forth, but also, since the connection between the threaded cylinder and the adjusting ring groove is a threaded connection, rust and other problems will occur after long-term use, leading to sluggish operation or even jamming. At this time, it is only necessary to start the oiling machine periodically. Under the rotation of the threaded cylinder, the lubricating oil can be evenly carried to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder and slowly flow out through the oil outlet micro-hole, thereby achieving uniform lubrication of the external and internal threads and preventing the equipment from running sluggishly or jamming after long-term use.

[0040] Although the steps in this invention are arranged by reference numerals, this is not intended to limit the order of the steps. Unless the order of the steps is explicitly stated or the execution of a step requires other steps as a basis, the relative order of the steps can be adjusted. It is understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and covers any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0041] Example

[0042] like Figures 1-10As shown, an air-cooled air conditioning device for a data center includes an outdoor air-cooled air conditioning body 100. A filtration mechanism 500 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air-cooled air conditioning body 100, and the filtration mechanism 500 is located indoors. The filtration mechanism 500 includes an n-shaped tube 510, with its two ends connected to the air outlet of the air-cooled air conditioning body 100 and an adjusting ring groove 700, respectively. A square box 520 is fixedly connected to the middle of the n-shaped tube 510. A through slot 530 is formed through the middle of the square box 520, and a filtration frame 540 is inserted into the through slot 530. Multiple baffles 541 are evenly fixed on the filtration frame 540. Ventilation slots are formed between the baffles 541, with the width of three ventilation slots equal to the width of one square box 520. Filtration and breathable plates 550 are spaced apart on the multiple ventilation slots.

[0043] The outer wall of the adjusting ring groove 700 is symmetrically provided with a pair of air outlet slots 710, and the adjusting ring groove 700 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the docking cylinder 900; the outer wall of the docking cylinder 900 is symmetrically provided with multiple docking slots 910, and a data cabinet 200 is fixedly installed on the outside of each docking slot 910. The bottom of the side wall of the data cabinet 200 is fixedly provided with an air inlet mesh slot 220, and the air inlet mesh slot 220 is connected to the corresponding docking slot 910; the top of the data cabinet 200 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the air-cooled air conditioner body 100 through the air outlet pipe group 300; the adjusting ring groove 700 is controlled by the control mechanism 600 and slides laterally within the docking cylinder 900.

[0044] This invention, through the cooperation of the filtration mechanism 500, the air-cooled air conditioner body 100, and the regulating ring groove 700, not only avoids the problem of high humidity of the cold air from the air-cooled air conditioner body 100 affecting the data cabinets, but also provides a strong cooling effect for each data cabinet 200, avoiding the problem of large cooling differences caused by the distance between the data cabinets 200; a detailed description will follow.

[0045] It is worth noting that the air-cooled air conditioner body 100 of the present invention uses a fan to expel hot air from the device and exchange it with cold air from the outside to achieve cooling, which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Furthermore, the two ends of the docking cylinder 900 are a first cylinder opening 930 and a second cylinder opening 940, respectively. The control mechanism 600 includes a forward and reverse rotation motor 610, which is mounted on one end of the docking cylinder 900 via a bracket 620. The output end of the forward and reverse rotation motor 610 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder column 800. An external thread 810 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the threaded cylinder column 800, and an internal thread 750 is provided on the inner wall of the adjusting ring groove 700. The external thread 810 and the internal thread 750 are threadedly connected. Slide rods 730 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the interior of the docking cylinder 900. Slide holes 720 are correspondingly provided at both ends of the adjusting ring groove 700, and the slide rods 730 are slidably connected to the slide holes 720.

[0047] When the air-cooled air conditioner body 100 is used for cooling, cold air enters the regulating ring groove 700 from the n-shaped pipe 510. Through the structural design of the square box 520 and the dehumidification frame 540 on the n-shaped pipe 510, the high-humidity airflow is first dehumidified by the dehumidification frame 540. By pushing and pulling the dehumidification frame 540, at least one or two ventilation slots are connected to the n-shaped pipe 510, and at least one or two dehumidification venting plates 550 are connected to the n-shaped pipe 510. This ensures both ventilation intensity and cooling effect, while also achieving dehumidification, and allows for flexible adjustment according to humidity levels. Simultaneously, the regulating ring groove 700 delivers mixed air into the bottom of the corresponding data cabinet 200, and hot air from the top of the data cabinet 200 exits through the air outlet pipe. Group 300 discharges air-cooled air conditioner body 100 for refrigeration circulation. While achieving high refrigeration efficiency inside data cabinet 200, under the control of control mechanism 600 and driven by forward and reverse motor 610, the threaded cylinder 800 rotates. Since the external thread 810 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 750, and the slide rod 730 and slide hole 720 are sealed and slidably connected to limit the adjustment ring groove 700, the rotation of the threaded cylinder 800 causes the adjustment ring groove 700 to slide back and forth in the docking cylinder 900. This periodically forces cooling on different data cabinets 200, ensuring a strong cooling effect for each data cabinet 200 and avoiding the problem of large cooling differences caused by the distance between data cabinets 200.

[0048] It is worth noting that the electric devices such as the forward and reverse motor 610 of the present invention are all powered by an external power source. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the slide rod 730 and the sliding hole 720 of the present invention can improve the sealing performance by adding components such as sealing rings, which is a conventional setting and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Furthermore, a partition plate 920 is provided between adjacent docking slots 910. When the two end sidewalls of the adjusting ring groove 700 are in sealed contact with the partition plate 920, the air outlet 710 is connected to the docking slot 910. This structural design facilitates the discharge of refrigerant gas from the designated docking slot 910. Even if there is slight air leakage during contact, it will not affect the overall discharge effect.

[0050] Furthermore, one end of the n-shaped tube 510 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 420 outside the maintenance box 400; a rotating hole 410 is provided on one side of the maintenance box 400, and the rotating hole 410 is rotatably connected to the non-threaded end of the threaded cylinder 800; the other side of the maintenance box 400 opposite to the rotating hole 410 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder opening 940.

[0051] One end of the adjusting ring groove 700 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 420 inside the maintenance box 400 via a ventilation hose 740; the ventilation hose 740 is wrapped around the outside of the two slide rods 730; one end of the slide rod 730 is fixedly connected to the inside of the maintenance box 400.

[0052] Furthermore, the threaded cylinder 800 and the side wall of the end near the reversible motor 610 are rotatably and sealed to the first cylinder opening 930.

[0053] This invention, through the cooperation of the maintenance box 400, the ventilation hose 740, the docking cylinder 900, and the adjusting ring groove 700, ensures that the adjusting ring groove 700 can reciprocate laterally, thus enabling unrestricted forced cooling of different data cabinets 200 and saving space. Simultaneously, it avoids air leakage, ensuring that even if the ventilation hose 740 leaks, it will not affect the overall cooling effect on the data cabinet 740. Furthermore, it facilitates quick and easy maintenance of the ventilation hose 740, preventing prolonged equipment downtime. Specifically, when the adjusting ring groove 700 reciprocates laterally to force cooling different data cabinets 200, the ventilation hose 740 will expand and contract because gas is delivered through it. The design of a pair of sliding rods 730 ensures both the lateral sliding effect of the adjusting ring groove 700 and provides support for the ventilation hose 740. The support limit function ensures that the ventilation hose 740 will not get tangled or jammed during extension and retraction, and the adjustment space is greatly reduced to meet the space requirements of the data center. At the same time, since the ventilation hose 740 and the adjustment ring groove 700 are all inside the docking cylinder 900 and the maintenance box 400, even if the ventilation hose 740 is damaged and leaks, the refrigerant gas will not leak out, but will enter the corresponding data cabinet 200 through each docking groove 910 to achieve simultaneous cooling, without affecting the overall cooling effect of the data cabinet 740. Furthermore, when the ventilation hose 740 is damaged, by controlling the forward and reverse motor 610, the ventilation hose 740 can be quickly retracted and placed inside the maintenance box 400, thereby moving it to a relatively external position outside the data cabinet 200. This allows for rapid maintenance through the maintenance box 400, preventing problems such as long equipment downtime during maintenance.

[0054] It is worth noting that the sealing performance of the rotating hole 410 and the non-threaded end of the threaded cylinder 800 can be improved by rotating the sealing ring or other means. The sealing rotating connection at the first cylinder opening 930 can also be done in this way, which is a conventional setting and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Furthermore, a mounting hole 820 is provided on the non-threaded end side of the threaded cylinder 800, and the mounting hole 820 is located outside the maintenance box 400; an L-shaped oil outlet pipe 830 is installed on the mounting hole 820, and an oil injector 840 is fixedly installed on one end of the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 830 located outside the threaded cylinder 800; a plurality of oil injection ports 831 are uniformly fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the L-shaped oil outlet pipe 830 located inside the threaded cylinder 800; a plurality of oil outlet micro-holes are provided through the external thread 810 groove of the threaded cylinder 800.

[0056] This invention, through the structural design of the threaded cylinder 800, not only enables rapid control of forced cooling of different data cabinets 200 via rotation, but also achieves uniform lubrication of the threaded cylinder 800, preventing problems such as malfunction and jamming after prolonged use. Specifically, when the threaded cylinder 800 rotates, it drives the adjusting ring groove 700 to slide laterally back and forth. Since the connection between the threaded cylinder 800 and the adjusting ring groove 700 is threaded, rust and other problems may occur after prolonged use, leading to malfunctions or even jamming. In such cases, simply periodically starting the oiling machine 840 allows the lubricating oil to be evenly delivered to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 800 under its rotation, and then slowly flow out through the oil outlet micro-holes, thereby achieving uniform lubrication of the external thread 810 and the internal thread 750, preventing malfunctions and jamming after prolonged use.

[0057] It is worth noting that the oil injector 840 of this invention can inject oil slowly and periodically, which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Furthermore, the air outlet assembly 300 includes a main pipe 310, one end of which is closed and the other end is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the air-cooled air conditioner body 100; a plurality of branch pipes 320 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the main pipe 310, and one end of the branch pipe 320 is fixedly connected to a telescopic corrugated pipe 330; an air outlet 230 is fixedly connected to the top of the data cabinet 200, and the telescopic corrugated pipe 330 is installed and connected to the corresponding air outlet 230.

[0059] The present invention, through the structural design of the telescopic corrugated pipe 330, can achieve quick disassembly and replacement with the data cabinet 200. Specifically, when the data cabinet 200 needs to be replaced or maintained, it is only necessary to disassemble the telescopic corrugated pipe 330, then release the fixing of the data cabinet 200 and move it outward.

[0060] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wall of the data cabinet 200 is provided with a semi-circular docking groove 210, and the air inlet mesh groove 220 is located on the semi-circular docking groove 210; the bottom of the side wall of adjacent data cabinets 200 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 240 that are interconnected. Through the interconnected structure of the ventilation holes 240, when the cooling air force forces cooling on a designated data cabinet 200, other cabinets can also be assisted in cooling, thereby maintaining the cooling effect and avoiding complete interruption.

[0061] It is worth noting that data cabinets 200 can be sealed and fixed together with each other and with docking cylinder 900 using foam adhesive, etc., to improve sealing and fixing performance and facilitate disassembly. This is a standard existing setup and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Furthermore, an inspection door 430 is installed on the maintenance box 400; handles 542 are fixedly provided at both ends of the filter frame 540. The inspection door 430 facilitates quick and easy maintenance, and rubber strips or other structures can be installed at the connection points of the inspection door 430 to improve sealing performance. The handles 542 facilitate switching of the filter and air permeable plate 550.

[0063] A method for operating the aforementioned air-cooled air conditioning equipment for data centers includes the following steps:

[0064] S1. Start the air-cooled air conditioner body 100. When the humidity is high, connect the two moisture-filtering and breathable plates 550 to the n-type pipe 510. When the humidity is low, connect one moisture-filtering and breathable plate 550 to the n-type pipe 510. Adjust the ring groove 700 to send the mixed air into the bottom of the corresponding data cabinet 200.
