Abstract:
Improved methods and systems for cooling a data room are presented wherein an HVAC mini-split unit is configured with a manifold and return air ducts that enhance the movement of warm air to the return air intake of the unit without mixing the return air with the cool air supplied by the unit. Other embodiments provide methods and systems for supplying cool air from a mini-split unit to the front of the equipment rack, thereby shortening the path of warm air behind the equipment rack to the mini-split unit and eliminating the mixing of intake air with supply air.

Claim (Index 1):
A ducted HVAC mini-split system, comprising:\n a data room having at least one equipment rack positioned therein, the equipment rack having a warm side into which heat from electronic equipment on the equipment rack is exhausted, and a cool side opposite the warm side; a mini-split unit having a supply air outlet and a return air intake, the mini-split unit being positioned in the data room and configured with the supply air outlet directed to the warm side of the equipment rack; a manifold covering the return air intake; and one or more return air ducts, each having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end positioned on the cool side of the equipment rack and the proximal end being connected to the manifold so that air entering the distal end of the return air duct, through the manifold, and into the return air intake.
