SCALABLE COOLING ARCHITECTURE FOR LIQUID AND AIR COOLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971375 titled 'SCALABLE COOLING ARCHITECTURE FOR LIQUID AND AIR COOLING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for providing liquid and air cooling for IT components, including a dry cooler for liquid cooling and chambers for air cooling.
- The system includes a first module with at least one dry cooler that provides liquid cooling to liquid heat exchange devices.
- A second module contains chambers for air cooling, including a filter chamber for outside air intake, a fan chamber to cool IT units with filtered air, and an exhaust chamber for heated air.
- A liquid heat exchange device in the second module provides liquid cooling to the IT units.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in data centers, server rooms, and other IT facilities where cooling of components is crucial for optimal performance.
Problems Solved
The system solves the problem of efficiently cooling IT components to prevent overheating and potential damage.
Benefits

Potential Commercial Applications
This technology can be commercialized for use in various industries that rely on IT infrastructure, such as telecommunications, finance, and healthcare.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing liquid cooling systems for IT components and air cooling solutions in data centers.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle maintenance and cleaning of the cooling components?
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the filters, fans, and heat exchange devices are essential for optimal performance. Proper procedures and schedules for maintenance should be outlined in the system's operation manual.
What is the energy consumption of this cooling system compared to traditional cooling methods?
An analysis of the energy consumption of this cooling system compared to traditional methods would provide valuable insights into its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Conducting energy consumption tests and comparisons can help determine the system's overall impact on operational costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
Multiple systems for providing liquid and air cooling for IT components is disclosed. The system includes a first module with at least one dry cooler that supplies liquid cooling to at least one liquid heat exchange device. The system also includes a second module with a first chamber that has a filter that accepts air from an outside source, a second chamber with at least one fan that moves the filtered air to cool one or more IT units resulting in heated air; and a third chamber that exhausts the heated air to the outside. A liquid heat exchange device provides liquid cooling to the one or more IT units.
