ARCHITECTURE TO PROVIDE LIQUID AND CLOSED LOOP AIR COOLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240138114 titled 'ARCHITECTURE TO PROVIDE LIQUID AND CLOSED LOOP AIR COOLING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for providing combined liquid and air cooling for IT units, including dry cooling sections, liquid loop interfaces, primary and secondary loops, and air/liquid exchange sections.

  • The system includes at least one dry cooler in the dry cooling section.
  • The liquid loop interface includes at least one liquid heat exchange device.
  • The primary loop consists of at least one dry cooler from the dry cooler section.
  • The secondary loop includes the liquid heat exchange device from the liquid loop interface, providing liquid cooling to IT units.
  • An air/liquid exchange section contains at least one air/liquid exchange device that provides air cooling to the IT units.
  • The air-liquid heat exchange device is part of the primary loop.
