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.

A data center system including: a heat exchanger; a substantially sealed, substantially airtight cabinet sized for housing a vertical array of heat-producing units, the cabinet having an exterior shell and the system including an interior divider wall disposed inside the cabinet, the shell and divider wall providing a heat exchanger chamber in which the heat exchanger is disposed, the shell and divider wall providing an equipment chamber separate from the heat exchanger chamber and adapted to support the array of heat-producing units, the divider wall being configured to pass a flow of cooling gas between the heat exchanger chamber and the equipment chamber in a substantially horizontal direction; wherein the cabinet comprises a door mechanism, including a first door and a controller coupled to the first door, the controller configured to effect a locked state of the first door to inhibit access to the equipment chamber in response to a difference between an internal environment inside the cabinet and an external environment outside the cabinet capable of resulting in dew formation inside the cabinet if the first door is opened. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the cabinet comprises an equipment portion and a heat exchanger portion, the equipment portion providing the equipment chamber and the heat exchanger portion providing the heat exchanger chamber, the equipment portion being removably attached to the heat exchanger portion. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the cabinet comprises an equipment portion and a heat exchanger portion, the equipment portion comprises the first door and further comprises second door disposed on an opposite side of the equipment portion from the first door, the heat exchanger portion comprising third and fourth doors configured to provide access to the heat exchanger chamber and disposed on opposite sides of the heat exchanger portion from each other. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the array of heat-producing units cooperates with the shell and divider wall in use to define a first plenum, the first plenum having a first inlet defined by the divider wall for receiving the flow of cooling gas and having a first outlet defined by a plurality of openings through the array whereby the first plenum communicates with the openings in use to exhaust substantially all of the flow of cooling gas through the openings and hence through the array, wherein the divider wall is configured such that the first inlet at least partially vertically overlaps with the first plenum to allow the first inlet to admit the gas to the first plenum in a substantially horizontal direction, and the divider wall is configured such that the first inlet will admit the gas over a substantial vertical length of the cabinet. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the array of heat-producing units cooperates with the shell and divider wall in use to define a first plenum, the first plenum having a first inlet defined by the divider wall for receiving the flow of cooling gas and having a first outlet defined by a plurality of openings through the array whereby the first plenum communicates with the openings in use to exhaust substantially all of the flow of cooling gas through the openings and hence through the array, wherein the divider wall is configured such that the first inlet at least partially vertically overlaps with the first plenum to allow the first inlet to admit the gas to the first plenum in a substantially horizontal direction, and the divider wall is configured such that the first inlet will admit the gas substantially uniformly over a vertical length of the first inlet. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein the first inlet is at least one substantially vertical slot beside the first plenum. 7. The system of claim 5 wherein the first inlet extends substantially a full vertical extent of at least one of the array and the first plenum. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein the array of heat-producing units cooperates with the shell and divider wall in use to define a first plenum, the first plenum having a first inlet defined by the divider wall for receiving the flow of cooling gas and having a first outlet defined by a plurality of openings through the array whereby the first plenum communicates with the openings iii use to exhaust substantially all of the flow of cooling gas through the openings and hence through the array, wherein the divider wall is configured such that the first inlet at least partially vertically overlaps with the first plenum to allow the first inlet to admit the gas to the first plenum in a substantially horizontal direction, and a second plenum is defined between the shell and the array for receiving the flow of gas that has passed through the array, the second plenum having a second inlet defined by a second plurality of openings through the array, and a second outlet defined by the divider wall such that the gas is directed horizontally from the equipment chamber. 9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a cooling mechanism including an impeller array comprising a plurality of vertically arranged impellers, wherein the impellers are disposed in the cabinet vertically overlapping with the first inlet and configured to horizontally impel a substantially uniform curtain of gas to the first inlet and impel the gas substantially horizontally during an entire circulation of the gas through the equipment chamber and the heat exchanger chamber, and wherein the cooling mechanism is configured to cool the gas before the gas re-circulates through the first inlet. 10.
