In vertical cooling system 100B, the coolant flow closed-loop path 352 of flowing through.Closed-loop path 352 comprises cold-producing medium supply manifold 354 and back flow of refrigerant manifold 356.Cold-producing medium supply manifold 354 is transported to a plurality of supply pipes 360 by cooling cold-producing medium, and each supply pipe is all connected in a plurality of refrigerant/air heat exchangers 370.In the embodiment shown, for each bracket 70, two heat exchangers 370 are set.Yet this is dispensable.Each is all connected in a plurality of heat exchangers 370 a plurality of recirculatory pipe 372, and described a plurality of recirculatory pipes are transported to back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 by heated cold-producing medium from a plurality of heat exchangers 370.Because described embodiment comprises two heat exchangers 370 for each bracket 70, therefore a plurality of supply pipes 360 and a plurality of recirculatory pipe 370 each include ten conduits.Back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 is back transported to water/refrigerant heat exchanger 300 by the heated cold-producing medium receiving from heat exchanger 370, again cooling with the cooling water flow in described water/refrigerant heat exchanger 300.
Cold-producing medium supply manifold 354, supply pipe 360, back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 and recirculatory pipe 372 all can comprise be configured to control or restriction from one or more flow regulators or the valve 358 of the cold-producing medium stream of its process.In the embodiment of describing in Figure 10, cold-producing medium supply manifold 354 is included in a valve 358 before the first supply pipe 360, and described valve 358 regulates the cold-producing medium stream that enters into supply pipe 360.In the embodiment of describing in Figure 10, supply pipe 360 includes a valve 358, and described valve 358 is adjusted to the cold-producing medium stream of each heat exchanger 370.By optionally regulating the cold-producing medium by valve 358 to flow, the amount of cooling water that is fed to each heat exchanger 370 can be conditioned.
Vertically cooling system 100B can comprise the one or more sensors 376 that connect with cold-producing medium supply manifold 354, supply pipe 360, back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 and/or recirculatory pipe 372.Each temperature sensor 376 all can be used in the temperature of monitoring refrigerant stream and produces temperature signal.As mentioned above, vertically cooling system 100B can comprise cooling system controller 380, and this cooling system controller can be connected to inlet valve 330 and temperature sensor (a plurality of temperature sensor) 376.In such embodiment, the temperature signal (a plurality of temperature signal) that cooling system controller 380 is configured to based on receiving from temperature sensor (a plurality of temperature sensor) 376 increases or reduces by the flow velocity of the chilled water of inlet valve 330, for reducing or increase the temperature of the coolant flow in the closed-loop path 352 of vertical cooling system 100B.Thus, by change, be used for the flow velocity of the cooling water flow of cooling refrigeration agent stream, can regulate the temperature of the cold-producing medium stream in closed-loop path 352.
If there is any cold-producing medium to leak from vertical cooling system 100B, this cold-producing medium leaks with gas or vapor form so.Therefore,, even if there is refrigrant leakage, this cold-producing medium yet can not leak or drop onto above computing equipment 102.The temperature of cold-producing medium supply manifold 354, supply pipe 360, back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 and the recirculatory pipe 372 of confession refrigerant circulation is higher than the condensing temperature of the airborne moisture in the inside 60 at container 12.Therefore, water can not be condensate on cold-producing medium supply manifold 354, supply pipe 360, back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 and recirculatory pipe 372.As a result, cold-producing medium stream can not make computing equipment 102 be exposed to drippage water (because condensation is dripped).
With reference to figure 4, each heat exchanger 370 all has coil pack 373.Cold-producing medium flow into each heat exchanger 370 and cycles through its coil pack 373 from supply pipe 360.The air of bracket 70 tops is hot, because it is heated by computing equipment 102.Heated air is upwards advanced by heat exchanger 370 and by refrigerant cools.As from Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 best as shown in, each heat exchanger 370 is all implemented as radiator-type evaporator, the coil pack 373 of described heat exchanger is with respect to front portion 214 and the angled setting of open-top 212 of bracket 70.As understood by those skilled in the art, coil pack 373 has one or more cooling surface (not shown), at this cooling surface place, at the air of coil pack 373 outsides and carry out heat interchange between the interior mobile cold-producing medium of coil pack 373.The coil pack 373 of heat exchanger 370 can be angled, to maximize the quantity of the cooling surface in the space that can be used for positioning heat interchanger, provides thus the cooling power of maximum.For example, being limited at the front portion 214 of bracket 70 and the interior angle " A " between coil pack 373 can change from about 144 degree to about 158 degree.Therefore, between coil pack 373 and the open-top 212 of bracket 70, can limit the angle from about 144 degree to about 158 degree.
The cooling power of heat exchanger 370 also depends on the amount of cold-producing medium mobile in its coil pack 373 at least in part.As mentioned above, by variable valve 358, the amount that flow to the cold-producing medium each heat exchanger 370 from each supply pipe 360 can be conditioned.Thus, vertically the cooling power of cooling system 100B can be customized for the part of each bracket 70, each bracket etc.In addition, the amount of the heat that cooling power can be at least in part be produced by computing equipment 102 based on expection determined, described computing equipment is installed in each bracket, be installed in the part of bracket etc.As non-limiting example, the cold-producing medium stream from supply pipe 360 to heat exchanger 370 can be for the computing equipment 102(in container 12 for example, blade server) concrete distribution and be customized.In addition, the valve 358 in cold-producing medium supply manifold 354 can be used to control to the cold-producing medium stream of all heat exchangers 370 of vertical cooling system 100B.Similarly, the valve (not shown) in back flow of refrigerant manifold 356 can be used to restriction from the cold-producing medium stream of all heat exchangers 370 of vertical cooling system 100B.
