Background
In some traditional large and medium-sized data center machine rooms, the air conditioning cooling air flow organization usually adopts a cooling mode of sending air from bottom to top, namely a mode of 'sending air from bottom to top to back', namely a mode of 'sending air from bottom to top' of the air conditioning air flow organization, generally, an elevated movable floor is installed in the machine room, the air conditioner takes cold air supply as a transfer channel through the space under the floor, then the cold air is directly blown to an air inlet of the machine cabinet through the air supply floor with a hole near the air inlet of the machine cabinet, and the IT equipment of the machine cabinet is rapidly cooled; the hot air exhausted from the cabinet rises due to its low density and is then drawn back to the return air inlet of the air conditioner through the hot return air duct, thereby forming a thermal circulation.
In medium and large data centers, the down-sending and up-returning adopted airflow organization often encounters the following problems:
the space under the movable floor in the machine room is used as an air supply static pressure box (as shown in figure 1), air is supplied upwards through the perforated air supply floor, the air supply quantity depends on the static pressure of an air supply outlet, the static pressure is high, the air supply quantity is large, and the temperature of a nearby machine cabinet is low; the static pressure is small, the air supply quantity is small, and the temperature of a nearby cabinet is high; the static pressure is determined by various factors, and influences are influenced by dynamic pressure of an air supply outlet of the air conditioner, air resistance in the air supply direction of the floor, the size of the opening area of the floor along the way and the air supply distance, so that the static pressure is a complex relationship of mutual influence.
Along with the farther air supply distance, the wind resistance of the air supply direction is larger, the dynamic pressure attenuation is fast, the static pressure appearance is also irregular, and the air supply dynamic pressure loss can be increased if cables, fire fighting pipelines, supports and the like are arranged under the floor; if the size of the air supply opening of the floor at the front end of the air supply is small and the dynamic pressure at the tail end is large, the dynamic pressure is completely converted into static pressure, the air quantity at the tail end is increased, and the air quantity at the front end is insufficient; due to the above various factors, the temperature distribution of the machine room is possibly uneven, local hot spots are easily generated to damage IT equipment, and the machine room is a great taboo in operation; and the computer lab is at the construction initial stage, and IT heat load is less, and the problem of the inhomogeneous production of air supply is not outstanding, and when IT server constantly loaded, and air conditioner return air filter screen became dirty, export wind pressure will reduce, and the terminal air supply is not enough, and the problem that inhomogeneous etc. leads to is more and more outstanding.
Nowadays, many traditional old machine rooms are seriously affected by the problem of uneven temperature, and no effective monitoring and solving scheme measures are provided so far.
Accordingly, the prior art is yet to be improved and developed.
