Abstract:
A scalable coolant conditioning unit (SCCU) comprising:a) an expansion tank having an intake opening connected to and receiving system coolant fluid from one or more electronics frames being cooled, and an outlet opening connected to and directing coolant fluid to a first manifold; b) two or more modular pumping units (MPU's) comprising at least one pump/pump motor combination and disposed between the outlet opening and a plate heat exchanger, the MPU's each being connected on an intake side to the first manifold, and being connected on an outlet side to a second manifold, the connections to the manifolds being made by an insertion facilitation mechanism; and c) said plate heat exchanger having an in and an out opening for receiving and discharging said system coolant, having a hot-side opening for receiving said system coolant from the MPU's, and a cool-side opening for discharging said system coolant towards the electronics frames; and said plate heat exchanger further having an in and an out opening for receiving and discharging facility service coolant.
