Cooling system for electronic apparatus

Abstract

A cooling system for an electronic apparatus, includes: a casing in which the electronic apparatus is housed; an evaporator which is disposed at a rear surface side of the casing, and cools heat released from the electronic apparatus by a refrigerant; a slide mechanism which connects the casing and the evaporator to be movable in a longitudinal direction with respect to the casing; at least any one of a cooling tower which is provided at a higher place than the evaporator and condenses the refrigerant by cooling of external air and sprinkled water, and a heat exchanger which cools the refrigerant by using chilled water; a circulation line which moves the refrigerant between the evaporator and at least one of the cooling tower and the heat exchanger; and a piping which connects the circulation line and the evaporator, and is extendable and contractible in response to movement of the evaporator.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a cooling system for an electronic apparatus, and particularly relates to a cooling system for an electronic apparatus for efficiently cooling an electronic apparatus such as a computer or a server which is required to perform a precise operation and generates a large amount of heat from itself.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In recent years, with improvement of the information processing technique and development of the Internet environments, the information processing amount which is required has been increased, and data processing centers for processing various kinds of information in large volume have been attracting attention as a business. In, for example, the server room of the data processing center, a large number of electronic apparatuses such as a computer and a server are installed in a concentrated state, and are continuously operated day and ni...

Benefits of technology

[0011]By constructing the natural circulation line like this, the power cost for transporting the refrigerant is not required. The cooling tower is used, which cools the refrigerant with external air and sprinkled water at the cooling side of the circulation line, the heat source load for cooling can be significantly reduced, and the running cost for cooling the refrigerant can be significantly reduced.

[0021]According to the presently disclosed subject matter, a cooling system for an electronic apparatus can be provided, which can efficiently cool an electronic apparatus such as a computer or a server, which is required to perform a precise operation and generates a large amount of heat from itself, with an evaporator which can be easily installed.

Problems solved by technology

Further, in the hinge-fixed cooling unit, the cooling unit is sometimes in contact with the adjacent server rack at the time of opening and closing of the cooling unit, and the movable range of the cooling unit may be limited.
