Abstract:
1. A method for controlling operation of a heat exchanger system comprising: providing a heat exchanger system mountable to a rear door of a rack mounted computer system, the heat exchanger system comprising: circulating a heat transport medium through the heat exchanger system; detecting leaks in the heat exchanger system by comparing the first flow rate in the inflow line to the second flow rate in the return flow line; emitting a leakage alert and ceasing further circulation of the heat transport medium through the heat exchanger system when the first flow rate exceeds the second flow rate by a predetermined flow amount; optimizing operation of the rack mounted computer system by monitoring an interior temperature of the rack mounted computer system in a plurality of vertical zones, wherein optimizing operation of the rack mounted computer system includes: optimizing operation of the heat exchanger system by comparing the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor with a predetermined maximum return flow temperature value, wherein optimizing operation of the heat exchanger system includes:
