Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for providing operational resources such as cooling and secondary electrical power to electronics in server racks in data centers is provided. Pressurized air is provided in a closed loop that is routed through each of the servers to a heat exchanger. The electronics in the servers are in thermal contact with the closed loop via a heat sink such that heat from the electronics is transferred to the closed loop. The heated pressurized air travels from the server racks to the heat exchanger which removes the heat from the air and exhausts it to the atmosphere. The pressurized air in the closed loop may be cooled through the use of chilled water, stored water, or both, in which case the closed loop passes through the water prior to traveling to the heat sinks.
