Renewable supplementary data centres cooling system
- 詳細技術說明
- A supplementary passive cooling system that utilizes outside temperatures for interior cooling needs. The thermosyphon provides passive cooling as long as the outside temperature is colder than the cooling needs, reverting to standard cooling when conditions are too warm.
- *Abstract
-
A real-time passive cooling apparatus is disclosed to reduce energy utilization in buildings. A vertical closed-loop two-phase thermosyphon is used with its condenser located outside—above the building rooftop, on the side of the building or above the building grounds. The wind shear layer and the temperature of the air surrounding the condenser provide renewal cooling in real-time when the thermosyphon evaporator temperature is lower than the ambient outside temperature. A pump circulates a fluid coolant through a closed-loop piping network that includes a primary annulus formed by a pipe that encloses the thermosyphon evaporator. The pump is activated when a building cooling device temperature is above a temperature set point. There is an option to store sensible and latent energy in a secondary annulus formed by a larger pipe that surrounds the first annulus to reduce the intermittency of the real-time passive cooling apparatus. The thermosyphon can be integrated into the building to support building loads, and devices like lights, wind turbines, and solar panels.
