Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of refrigeration and air conditioning, and specifically relates to a wind wall air conditioner and a data center. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the server density of data centers continues to increase, resulting in increasing air conditioning energy consumption and the emergence of local hot spots. These problems pose new challenges to the cooling efficiency and energy efficiency of data centers. The traditional backplane air conditioning system is installed on a single air conditioning unit, which is difficult to effectively solve the local hot spots between rows. This design limits its optimization in terms of cooling effect and energy utilization efficiency. As a new solution, the wind wall air conditioner is independently installed on the air supply side of the inter-row cabinet, close to the hot spot area of ​​the heat load. Compared with the traditional system, the wind wall air conditioner greatly reduces the transmission energy consumption of the terminal cooling airflow and improves the uniformity of the airflow distribution.

[0003] At present, wind wall air conditioning systems usually adopt two forms: built-in electric control box or separate main control cabinet. Although wind wall air conditioners with built-in electric control box are compact and highly integrated, there are differences in internal system design and structural layout between products of different manufacturers. For example, the device maintenance module requires tools to disassemble and assemble, which makes the user operation complicated and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

The human-computer interaction module 700 is installed on the air supply side of the frame 100. Preferably, the human-computer interaction module 700 is located at a height of about 1.5 meters, which is in the optimal height range for human-computer interaction. The human-computer interaction module 700 can be an operation display screen. In the present application, the human-computer interaction module 700 can be installed as a separate module, or it can be placed at the control component 500 or the fan module 400.

[0049] The human-machine interaction module 700 is electrically connected to the control component 500. Specifically, the human-machine interaction module 700 is connected to the electric control box body 510 through a power cord and a communication line, so that the relevant information of the operation of a certain wind wall air conditioner can be viewed or set through the human-machine interaction module 700.

The mounting position 230 is provided in the filter frame 210, for example Figure 2 Four installation positions 230 are shown in FIG. The filter screen 220 is detachably installed at the installation position 230. The height of the filter screen 220 is less than the height of the installation position 230, so that the filter screen 220 can move up and down within a small range in the corresponding installation position 230. Figure 6As shown, the limit assembly 240 includes an upper limit member 241 and a lower limit member 242, which are roughly in the shape of a "concave" character in side profile. The upper limit member 241 and the lower limit member 242 are respectively fixedly mounted on the frame 100 at the top and bottom of the mounting position 230, and the top and bottom of the filter 220 are respectively accommodated in the upper limit member 241 and the lower limit member 242. The height of the upper limit member 241 and the lower limit member 242 is set so that when the filter 220 is lifted upward, the bottom of the filter 220 can be separated from the limit of the lower limit member 242, that is, it can be slightly tilted and pulled out downward. By adding the limit assembly 240 and the depth difference between the upper and lower insertion of the filter 220 into the mounting position 230, the filter 220 can be replaced quickly and without tools for unlimited times.
