Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an electronic equipment cooling system including: a cabinet; at least one electronic equipment chassis that is installed inside the cabinet; and an auxiliary cooling device including an air pressurizing device, an air supply plenum box, and an air-guiding device. The air supply plenum box is disposed on an inner side of the cabinet. The air pressurizing device is disposed at the top or bottom of the cabinet, and an air exhaust on a sidewall of the air pressurizing device is connected to a corresponding air intake on a sidewall of the air supply plenum box. The air-guiding device is installed inside the electronic equipment chassis, an air intake of the air-guiding device is connected to an air exhaust of the air supply plenum device, and an air exhaust of the air-guiding device faces a component inside the electronic equipment chassis.

Claims (39)

1. An electronic equipment cooling system, comprising:

a cabinet;

at least one electronic equipment chassis that is installed inside the cabinet; and

an auxiliary cooling device that comprises an air pressurizing device, an air supply plenum box, and an air-guiding device,

wherein the air supply plenum box is disposed on an inner side of the cabinet,

wherein the air pressurizing device is disposed at a top or a bottom of the cabinet,

wherein an air exhaust on a sidewall of the air pressurizing device is connected to a corresponding air intake on a sidewall of the air supply plenum box,

wherein the air-guiding device is installed inside the electronic equipment chassis,

wherein an air intake of the air-guiding device is connected to an air exhaust of the air supply plenum device,

wherein an air exhaust of the air-guiding device faces a component inside the electronic equipment chassis,

wherein when there are multiple electronic equipment chassis, the electronic equipment chassis are installed in the cabinet in parallel in a vertical direction, and the air-guiding device is a terminal device,

wherein a wedge-shaped through-hole that tapers off to the bottom or flares out to the bottom is provided on the sidewall of the air supply plenum box, and a wedge-shaped through-hole that tapers off to the bottom or flares out to the bottom is provided on a sidewall of the electronic equipment chassis,

wherein the wedge-shaped through-hole of the air supply plenum box matches the wedge-shaped through-hole of the electronic equipment chassis to form a gastight air supply connection structure, and

wherein an air intake of the terminal device is connected to the wedge-shaped through-hole of the electronic equipment chassis, and an air exhaust of the terminal device faces the component inside the electronic equipment chassis.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device is an impinging jet terminal device.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device is an entraining jet terminal device.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the air pressurizing device is installed at the top of the cabinet when an equipment room where the system is located adopts an overhead air supply, and wherein the air pressurizing device is installed at the bottom of the cabinet when the equipment room where the system is located adopts an underfloor air supply.

5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the air pressurizing device is installed on an outer side or an inner side of the cabinet.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the air exhaust of the air pressurizing device is connected to the air supply plenum box through a pipe to form an air supply passage when the air pressurizing device is installed on the outer side of the cabinet.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein when there are multiple cabinets, the multiple cabinets are placed side by side, and the air pressurizing device is installed on an outer side of the multiple cabinets and uses the pipe to convey cooling airflows to air supply plenum boxes inside the multiple cabinets.

8. An electronic equipment cooling system, comprising:

a cabinet;

at least one electronic equipment chassis that is installed inside the cabinet; and

an auxiliary cooling device that comprises an air pressurizing device, an air supply plenum box, and an air-guiding device,

wherein the air supply plenum box is disposed on an inner side of the cabinet,

wherein the air pressurizing device is disposed at a top or a bottom of the cabinet,

wherein an air exhaust on a sidewall of the air pressurizing device is connected to a corresponding air intake on a sidewall of the air supply plenum box,

wherein the air-guiding device is installed inside the electronic equipment chassis,

wherein an air intake of the air-guiding device is connected to an air exhaust of the air supply plenum device,

wherein an air exhaust of the air-guiding device faces a component inside the electronic equipment chassis,

wherein when there are multiple electronic equipment chassis, the electronic equipment chassis are installed in the cabinet in parallel in a horizontal direction, and the air-guiding device comprises an auxiliary air box and a terminal device,

wherein the auxiliary air box is installed in a lower air intake area of the electronic equipment chassis, and an air intake on a sidewall of the auxiliary air box is connected to an air exhaust on a sidewall of the air supply plenum box to form an air supply passage, and

wherein the terminal device is installed inside the electronic equipment chassis, an air intake of the terminal device is connected to a corresponding air exhaust on a sidewall of the auxiliary air box, and an air exhaust of the terminal device faces the component inside the electronic equipment chassis.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal device is an impinging jet terminal device.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal device is an entraining jet terminal device.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the air pressurizing device is installed at the top of the cabinet when an equipment room where the system is located adopts an overhead air supply, and wherein the air pressurizing device is installed at the bottom of the cabinet when the equipment room where the system is located adopts an underfloor air supply.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the air pressurizing device is installed on an outer side or an inner side of the cabinet.

13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the air exhaust of the air pressurizing device is connected to the air supply plenum box through a pipe to form an air supply passage when the air pressurizing device is installed on the outer side of the cabinet.

14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein when there are multiple cabinets, the multiple cabinets are placed side by side, and the air pressurizing device is installed on an outer side of the multiple cabinets and uses the pipe to convey cooling airflows to air supply plenum boxes inside the multiple cabinets.
