Abstract:
1. An electronic equipment cabinet comprising: an enclosure defining an interior space and having an upper portion and a lower portion; a support being disposed with the interior space and being configured to receive electronic equipment, the lower portion defining a base plenum configured to receive a low temperature gas, the base plenum communicating with a gas flow distribution pathway of the enclosure, the gas flow distribution pathway including a first plenum communicating with the base plenum and being configured to direct the low temperature gas to the support, the gas flow distribution pathway further including a second plenum configured to receive a high temperature gas flow from the support and direct the high temperature gas flow to the upper portion of the enclosure, the upper portion of the enclosure including at least one fan configured to direct the high temperature gas flow from the gas flow distribution pathway, the enclosure includes a front wall and the rear wall, the front wall includes a baffle configured to regulate gas flow from outside of the enclosure to the gas flow distribution pathway in the first plenum in a mixture with the low temperature gas flow; a temperature sensor being disposed within the enclosure to sense the temperature of the high temperature gas flow within the enclosure; and a control module configured to receive temperature sensing data from the temperature sensor to control the first plenum and the at least one fan for regulating temperature of the high temperature gas flow.
