연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

In a cooling system for cooling racks in a data center, cooling fluid is circulated in the data center by a cooling device having a fan. In addition, this system includes a plenum having a plurality of returns and an outlet. The outlet of the plenum is in fluid communication with the fan and the plurality of returns are configured for removing the cooling fluid from the data center. Furthermore, the returns and are operable to vary a characteristic of the removal of the cooling fluid.

1. A cooling system for cooling racks in a data center, said system comprising:a cooling device for circulating cooling fluid in said data center, said cooling device including a fan;a plenum having a plurality of returns and an outlet, wherein said outlet of said plenum is in fluid communication with said fan, wherein said plurality of returns are configured for removing said cooling fluid from said data center and are operable to vary a characteristic of said removal of cooling fluid through said returns;a self-propelled mobile device configured to travel around the racks to sense at least one environmental condition within said data center, wherein said sensed at least one environmental condition is employable by the cooling device in circulating cooling fluid in said data center. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said characteristic of said cooling fluid comprises at least one of volume flow rate, velocity and direction of cooling fluid removal. 3. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:at least one return controller operable to control at least one of said returns, wherein said at least one return controller is configured to substantially independently control said returns to thereby substantially independently vary said characteristic of said cooling fluid removal. 4. The system according to claim 3, further comprising:a plurality of sensors configured to sense an environmental condition within said data center, said environmental condition including at least one of temperature, humidity, pressure, and cooling fluid flow rate, wherein said at least one return controller is configured to substantially independently control said returns in response to said measured environmental condition. 5. The system according to claim 3, wherein said mobile device is further configured to relay data associated with said at least one sensed environmental condition to said at least one return controller. 6. The system according claim 1, wherein said return controller is operable to substantially independently control said returns in response to said relayed data associated with said at least one environmental condition. 7. The system according to claim 1, wherein said cooling device is configured to vary at least one of a volume flow rate and temperature of the cooling fluid delivered to the racks in response to the sensed at least one environmental condition. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of returns includes fans configured to draw cooling fluid from the data center, wherein the fans are movable to vary a direction of cooling fluid removal. 9. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of returns are independent of the racks. 10. The system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile device is further configured to detect the at least one environmental condition at various heights of the data center. 11. A method of cooling a plurality of racks in a data center, said method comprising:activating a cooling system and opening a plurality of returns, said returns being configured to remove cooling fluid from various locations of said data center;receiving temperatures from a self-propelled movable device configured to detect at least one environmental condition at various locations of said data center;determining whether at least one of said sensed temperatures and said received temperatures are within a predetermined temperature range; andvarying at least one of said returns in response to at least one of said sensed and received temperatures being outside of said predetermined temperature range. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the step of varying said removal of said cooling fluid from said racks comprises varying at least one of volume flow rate, velocity and direction of cooling fluid removal. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the step of varying said removal of said cooling fluid from said racks comprises substantially independently controlling said plurality of returns to thereby substantially independently vary said removal of said cooling fluid from said racks through said plurality of returns. 14. The method according to claim 11, further comprising:relaying data associated with said at least one sensed environmental condition to a return controller configured to control the plurality of returns. 15. The method according to claim 11, further comprising:varying the cooling system in response to at least one of said sensed and received temperatures being outside of said predetermined temperature range. 16. An apparatus for cooling a plurality of racks in a data center, said apparatus comprising:means for activating a cooling system and opening a plurality of returns, each of said returns being configured to remove cooling fluid from various locations of said data center;means for receiving temperatures from a self-propelled movable device configured to detect at least one environmental condition at various locations of said data center;means for determining whether at least one of said sensed temperatures and said received temperatures are within a predetermined temperature range; andmeans for varying at least one of said returns in response to at least one of said sensed and received temperatures being outside of said predetermined temperature range. 17.
