Abstract:
1. A cooling door for cooling rejected heat from a rack containing electronic equipment, said cooling door comprising: a) two or more heat exchanger modules, each of said modules each having a heat exchanger with each said heat exchanger including a supply header and a return header adapted to circulate cooling fluid therethrough by cooling fluid entering a said heat exchanger from a respective said supply header and exiting said heat exchanger through a respective said return header; b) each of said heat exchangers having a respective supply line and a return line releasably connected at first ends thereof to a respective heat exchanger supply header and return header via first and second quick connect couplings located on a respective said supply header and said return header, respectively, said supply lines and said return lines of each heat exchanger extending therefrom and outwardly from said door and adapted to connect at second, opposite ends thereof to a main supply header and a main return header located externally of the rack; c) a heat exchanger mounting frame having first and second side frame members including a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings formed therethrough and wherein said heat exchanger mounting frame is adapted to removably support said two or more heat exchanger modules in vertically spaced relation thereon; and d) one or more mounting components affixed to each of said two or more heat exchanger modules, each of said one or more mounting components configured for tool-less removable attachment to a preselected and respective one of said mounting frame openings such that each of said two or more heat exchanger modules is independently mountable to and removable from said heat exchanger mounting frame by disconnecting said first and second quick connect couplings located at the heat exchanger to be removed such that each heat exchanger may be individually and selectively removed from or mounted onto said mounting frame without interrupting the circulation of cooling fluid through the supply and return lines connected to all other heat exchanger modules mounted in said door.
