COOLING SYSTEM OF DATA CENTER

A cooling system for a data center includes a cooling module and at least one heating module. The cooling module includes at least one cooling device and at least one airflow control switch. An air inlet is defined in the cooling module. The at least one heating module includes a heating device. When hot air flows into the air inlet, the at least one airflow control switch is closed, the hot air is cooled by the cooling device and passes through the heating device to cool the heating device. When cool air flows into the air inlet, the at least one airflow control switch is open, the cool air passes through the at least one airflow control switch and the heating device to cool the heating device

FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to cooling systems.

BACKGROUND

A data center typically includes a number of servers. When a number of servers work, lots of heat will be produced. So the data center also needs a cooling system for dissipating heat generated by the servers.

Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure is described in relation to a cooling system applied to a data center. A cooling system of data center includes a cooling module and at least one heating module. The cooling module includes at least one cooling device and at least one air control switch. An air inlet is defined in the cooling module. The at least one heating module includes a heating device. When hot air flows into the air inlet, the at least one air control switch is closed and the hot air is cooled by the cooling device, to pass through the heating device to cool the heating device. When cool air flows into the air inlet, the at least one air control switch is open, the cool air passes through the at least one air control switch and through the heating device to cool the heating device.

FIG. 1illustrates a first embodiment of a cooling system of data center100. The cooling system of data center100includes a cooling module10and a heating module20.

The cooling module10includes a cooling device11, two air control switches12and19, a humidity control device13, a filtering device17, and a plurality of fans18.

The cooling module10defines an air inlet14, a cutout15, and a first channel16. The cooling device11and the air control switch12can be aligned in a straight line. The humidity control device13is located between the air inlet14and the air control switch12. The cutout15is connected to the first channel16. The air control switch19is located in the cutout15. The plurality of fans18can be aligned in a straight line. The filtering device17is located between the cooling device11and the plurality of fans18.

The heating module20includes a heating device22and defines a second channel24and an air outlet26. An air control switch28is located in the air outlet26. The first channel16is connected to the second channel24. The cooling system of data center100further includes an inductor (not shown) or other sensor. The inductor can sense and value an ambient temperature outside the data center100. The temperature value is transmitted to a control center (not shown).

When the temperature outside is greater than a temperature of the cooling system of data center100, the inductor sends a first signal to control center to close the air control switch12. When the temperature outside is less than the temperature of the cooling system of data center100, the inductor sends a second signal to control center to open the air control switch12.

When a temperature of the air is below 18 degrees, the air control switch41, the air control switch12, the air control switch19and the air control switch28are proportionally open. The air passes through the air control switch12and the filtering device17. The air is transmitted to the heating device22by the plurality of fans18to cool the heating device22. A part of the air from the heating device22flows out of the cooling system of data center100via the air outlet26.

The remainder of the air from the heating device22passes through the second channel24and the first channel16, then flows into the cooling module10via the cutout15. The air from the heating device22is mixed with the cold air from the air inlet14to let the air temperature before feeding the heating device22is suitable for heating device22working.

The air control switch41can control how much air could rush into the cooling module10from the air inlet14. The air control switch28can control how much air could rush out of the heating module20from the air outlet26. The control switch19can control how much air could rush into the cooling module10from the cutout15.

When the temperature of the air is between 27 degrees and 18 degrees, the air control switch41, the air control switch12and the air control switch28are open. The air passes through the air control switch12and the filtering device17. The air is transmitted to the heating device22by the plurality of fans18to cool the heating device22. The air from the heating device22flows out of the cooling system of data center100via the air outlet26.

When the temperature of the air is between 30 degrees and 27 degrees, the air control switch41, and the air control switch28are open. The air control switch12is closed. The air is cooled by the cooling device11and then passes through the filtering device17to clean the air. The air is transmitted to the heating device22by the plurality of fans18to cool the heating device22. The air from the heating device22flows out of the cooling system of data center100via the air outlet26.

When the temperature of the air is above 30 degrees, the air control switch41, the air control switch12, and the air control switch28are closed. The air is cooled by the cooling device11and then passes through the filtering device17to clean the air. The air is transmitted to the heating device22by the plurality of fans18to cool the heating device22. The air from the heating device22passes through the second channel24and the first channel16, then flows into the cooling module10via the cutout15.

The cooling module10includes a cooling device11located on one side of the air inlet32, an air control switch12, a filtering device17, and a plurality of fans18. The cooling device11and the air control switch12can be aligned in a straight line.

A cooling device11, an air control switch12, a filtering device17, and a plurality of fans18are mounted on other side of the air inlet32. The second channel24of each heating module20is connected to the first channel16of the cooling module10.
