摘要

Described herein is an airflow management system and method. The system includes a top layer and a bottom layer, and each of the layers has a dedicated air flow management and hardware system that are operated independently. The top layer is a drop ceiling air plenum, and can store fan coils arranged in a hot aisle containment fashion or a cold hair containment fashion. The top layer receives fresh air from its own air source, and exhausts hot air through its own exhaust. The bottom layer can include server racks arranged in a hot aisle containment fashion or a cold aisle containment fashion. One or more servers in the bottom layer can include an air cooling component and a liquid cooling component, and receive cooling liquid from the top layer and receives cooling air from its own air source.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to airflow management in a data center. More particularly, embodiments of the disclosure relate to a hybrid and modularized approach to managing airflow management in a data center.

BACKGROUND

With the booming of AI applications, cloud computing and data-driven applications, data centers have becoming increasingly critical for a company to maintain its competitive edges. Maintaining a data center is expensive and part of the expenses is related to cooling the data center.

A modern data center often includes servers with different lifetimes, and therefore requires frequent upgrading to cooling systems to meet the cooling needs. Further, a modern data center often uses a single air source, which may not be the most efficient cooling solution for all types of IT equipment or infrastructure. In addition, a modern data center typically only uses recirculated cooling air, whose quality may be much better than natural fresh air. Natural fresh air, whose quality is typically bad in some areas, can damage the electronics in the data center.

Therefore, a flexible, resilient, modularized, and hybrid cooling approach utilizing multiple air sources would reduce the cooling cost of a data center by increasing the cooling efficiency, as well as reducing the capital cost.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements.
