Description

本発明は、例えば、ラックに収納した多数のサーバを集中して設置するデータセンターなど、コンピュータ等の電子機器を室内に集中管理する簡易形の建造物、特に、その天井構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a simple structure for centrally managing electronic devices such as computers in a room, such as a data center in which a large number of servers housed in a rack are centrally installed, and more particularly to a ceiling structure thereof.

インターネットの普及に代表されるコンピュータネットワークの発展に伴い、サーバと呼ばれる業務用の比較的大型で信頼性を重視したコンピュータ、あるいは主に記憶装置を収めたストレージなどのコンピュータの需要が、ネットワークのサービス提供業者を中心に近年急速に拡大している。サーバ等のコンピュータは、収納用の筐体であるラックに多数のものを収め、一個所で集中管理されることが多く、サーバ等を内部に集中して管理する建造物は、データセンターと呼ばれている。   With the development of computer networks represented by the spread of the Internet, the demand for computers such as servers, which are relatively large-sized business-use computers that emphasize reliability, or storage that mainly contains storage devices, is the network service. In recent years, the number of providers has been increasing rapidly. Computers such as servers are housed in a rack, which is a housing for storage, and are often centrally managed in one place. A building that centrally manages servers is called a data center. It is.

データセンターには、通常の建築物として構築されるもの以外に、輸送用の大型容器であるコンテナを改造して構築するコンテナ型データセンター(モジュール型データセンターともいわれる)が存在する。輸送用のコンテナは、周囲を強度の大きい壁面で取り囲まれた直方体形状の堅牢な構造物であって、データセンターのセキュリティを確保するのが容易であるとともに、気密性が高く、塵埃の侵入や塩害(海岸付近に設置される場合)を防止してコンピュータを保護するのも容易である。また、コンテナ型データセンターは、輸送用のコンテナを基礎とする、通常の建築物と比較すると小型の建造物であるので、その増設や移設が簡単であり、無人運転に適しているという利点もある。コンテナ型データセンターのこうした特徴を利用すべく、複数の鋼材の柱と梁とを組み合わせた格子構造を備え、格子構造の各区画にデータセンターとしてのコンテナを収めるようにした鉄骨構造の大規模な建築物が、特開2011−18220号公報に開示されている。   In addition to what is constructed as a normal building, there are container-type data centers (also called modular data centers) that are constructed by modifying containers that are large containers for transportation. The transport container is a solid rectangular solid structure that is surrounded by a strong wall, and it is easy to ensure the security of the data center. It is easy to protect your computer by preventing salt damage (when installed near the coast). Container-type data centers are small buildings compared to ordinary buildings based on transportation containers, so they can be easily expanded and relocated and are suitable for unmanned operation. is there. In order to take advantage of these characteristics of a container-type data center, a large-scale steel structure with a grid structure that combines multiple steel columns and beams and a container as a data center is placed in each section of the grid structure A building is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-18220.

ところで、多数のコンピュータを備えたデータセンター等の建造物においては、コンピュータの発熱に起因する熱障害を防止し、併せて室内の空調を行う必要がある。コンピュータの冷却や室内の空調を行うには、冷凍サイクルを実行する空調機を設置してコンピュータ等いわば強制的に冷却してもよいが、冷媒の相変化を利用するヒートパイプと同様な熱伝達促進装置を用いて、室内の熱を外部の大気に積極的に排熱することによりコンピュータの熱障害を防止する冷却装置も知られており、例えば、特開2011−38734号公報に開示されている。   By the way, in a building such as a data center equipped with a large number of computers, it is necessary to prevent thermal failure caused by the heat generated by the computers and to perform indoor air conditioning. In order to cool the computer or to air-condition the room, an air conditioner that executes the refrigeration cycle may be installed to forcibly cool the computer, but the heat transfer is similar to a heat pipe that uses the phase change of the refrigerant. There is also known a cooling device that prevents a thermal failure of a computer by actively exhausting indoor heat to the outside atmosphere using an accelerating device, and is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-38734. Yes.

この公報に記載の冷却装置は、携帯電話等の電話基地局に収容された情報通信機器を冷却(温度上昇を抑制)するためのものであり、図9に示されるように、電話基地局の屋外に室外熱交換器LE(低温熱交換器)を設置するとともに、情報通信機器が設置された室内Rの上方に室内熱交換器HE(高温熱交換器)を設置する。両方の熱交換器は連通されて内部に冷媒が封入されており、情報通信機器から発生した熱によって室内熱交換器HEの冷媒が沸騰して室外熱交換器LEに移送され、ここで、大気に熱を放出して冷媒が凝縮し、重力で室内熱交換器HEに還流する。室内の空気は、室内側ファンCFにより循環され、温度の下降した室内熱交換器HEを通過して冷却される。
外気冷却によるこの装置は、温度差に基づく対流を利用する自然循環式の冷却装置であって、冷凍サイクルを行うものではないから、基本的に外部電力等が不要である。したがって、この冷却装置をデータセンターに採用したときは、サーバ等のコンピュータで使用する電力以外のものは殆ど必要なく、消費電力の大幅な削減が可能となる。
The cooling device described in this publication is for cooling information communication devices accommodated in a telephone base station such as a mobile phone (suppressing temperature rise). As shown in FIG. An outdoor heat exchanger LE (low temperature heat exchanger) is installed outdoors, and an indoor heat exchanger HE (high temperature heat exchanger) is installed above the room R where the information communication equipment is installed. Both heat exchangers are connected to each other and a refrigerant is sealed inside, and the refrigerant generated in the indoor heat exchanger HE is boiled by the heat generated from the information communication device and transferred to the outdoor heat exchanger LE. The refrigerant is condensed by discharging heat to the indoor heat exchanger HE by gravity. The indoor air is circulated by the indoor fan CF and is cooled by passing through the indoor heat exchanger HE whose temperature has decreased.
This device based on the outside air cooling is a natural circulation type cooling device that uses convection based on a temperature difference, and does not perform a refrigeration cycle. Therefore, external power or the like is basically unnecessary. Therefore, when this cooling device is employed in a data center, almost no power other than that used by a computer such as a server is required, and power consumption can be greatly reduced.

データセンターあるいは電話基地局など、コンピュータ等の電子機器を多数収容する建造物においては、コンピュータの十分なセキュリティの確保が要請されるとともに、塵埃や塩害等からのコンピュータの保護が要請される。こうした要請に応じるには、建造物の密閉性を高めて室内を外部から遮断することが可能でなければならないが、一方では、コンピュータの発熱に起因する熱障害を防ぐため、室内の熱を外部に放出しながらコンピュータを確実に冷却する必要があり、ことに、最近のデータセンターでは、室内冷却用の電力等は極力抑制しながらコンピュータの熱障害を防止することが求められる。コンテナ型データセンターのような小型の設備では、特許文献2に記載のような自然循環式の冷却装置をデータセンターの屋根に設置するのが望ましいけれども、このとき、屋根部分の剛性や強度が問題となる。   In buildings that contain a large number of electronic devices such as computers such as data centers or telephone base stations, it is required to ensure sufficient security of computers and to protect computers from dust and salt damage. In order to meet these requirements, it must be possible to enhance the sealing of the building and block the room from the outside. On the other hand, to prevent thermal damage caused by computer heat, It is necessary to cool the computer securely while discharging it, and in recent data centers, it is required to prevent thermal failure of the computer while suppressing the power for cooling the room as much as possible. In a small facility such as a container-type data center, it is desirable to install a natural circulation type cooling device as described in Patent Document 2 on the roof of the data center. It becomes.

そして、コンテナ型データセンターは、サーバ等の需要の増減に対応して、データセンターの建造物自体も容易に増設や撤去が可能であることが要請される。特許文献1に開示される建築物は、コンテナ型データセンターの増設等の容易化を図ったものではあるが、鉄骨構造を基本とする非常に大規模な建築物であって、極めて大量のサーバ等を必要とする場合以外には、不向きである。コンテナ型データセンターでは、船舶に積載する海上コンテナを積み重ねるように、データセンター自体を積み重ねて増設することができるが、この際にも屋根部分の強度等を増大することが望ましい。
本発明の課題は、データセンター等の建造物において、屋根部分等の強度や剛性の増大を図り、収容された多数のコンピュータ等の効率的な冷却を行い、あるいは、データセンターの増設や移設を容易化することにある。
The container type data center is required to be able to easily add or remove the data center building itself in response to an increase or decrease in demand for servers or the like. Although the building disclosed in Patent Document 1 is intended to facilitate the expansion of a container-type data center, etc., it is a very large-scale building based on a steel structure and has an extremely large number of servers. It is not suitable unless it is necessary. In a container-type data center, the data center itself can be stacked and expanded so as to stack marine containers loaded on a ship. In this case, it is desirable to increase the strength of the roof portion.
An object of the present invention is to increase the strength and rigidity of a roof portion in a building such as a data center, to efficiently cool a large number of accommodated computers, or to add or relocate a data center. It is to make it easier.

The fastening bracket according to claim 6, wherein fastening fasteners capable of engaging fasteners are fixed to the upper and lower portions of the columnar member of the frame frame, and the roof of the building is fixed to the upper portion. It is preferable to install it at a lower position.

また、請求項7に記載のように、前記電子機器収容室の端部壁と、その端部壁に連結される前記フレーム枠体との間に、電子機器収容室の付帯設備を設置することができる。   Further, as described in claim 7, an auxiliary facility for the electronic device housing chamber is installed between the end wall of the electronic device housing chamber and the frame frame body connected to the end wall. Can do.

データセンター等として使用される本発明の建造物は、輸送用のコンテナと同様に、全体としては直方体の形状に形成され、両端部には柱状部材を有するフレーム枠体が配置されている。建造物の屋根の下方には中間天井板が設けられており、電子機器が中間天井板の下側の電子機器収容室内に収められ、中間天井板の上部の空間には、電子機器収容室の熱を外気に排熱する室外熱交換器が設置される。そして、建造物の屋根と中間天井板との間には、電子機器収容室を長手方向に延びるビーム材が、電子機器収容室の全長に亘って設けられている。   The building of the present invention used as a data center or the like is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole like a transport container, and frame frames having columnar members are arranged at both ends. An intermediate ceiling plate is provided below the roof of the building, and electronic devices are stored in the electronic device storage chamber below the intermediate ceiling plate, and the space above the intermediate ceiling plate is in the electronic device storage chamber. An outdoor heat exchanger that exhausts heat to the outside air is installed. And between the roof of a building and an intermediate | middle ceiling board, the beam material extended in an electronic device storage chamber to a longitudinal direction is provided over the full length of the electronic device storage chamber.

つまり、電子機器収容室の天井部分には、その全長に亘って長手方向に延びるビーム材が設けてあり、このビーム材は、フレーム枠体に連結された電子機器収容室の端部壁、又はフレーム枠体自体に固定される。電子機器収容室の天井部分は、建造物の屋根と中間天井板とによる2重構造となっているが、建造物の屋根及び室外熱交換器が設置される中間天井板がそれぞれビーム材に取り付けられるので、天井部分に作用する荷重が、ビーム材を介して強度の大きいフレーム枠体に伝達される。そのため、建造物の屋根部分の強度や剛性が増大し、重量の大きい熱交換器であっても確実に支持することが可能である。
また、電子機器収容室の天井部分を全長に亘って延びるビーム材により、建造物の屋根が補強される。その結果、地震の振動等に対して屋根部分の変形が少なくなり、建造物全体の耐震性が向上する。
In other words, a beam member extending in the longitudinal direction over the entire length of the ceiling portion of the electronic device housing chamber is provided, and the beam material is an end wall of the electronic device housing chamber connected to the frame frame, or Fixed to the frame body itself. The ceiling part of the electronic device storage room has a double structure with the roof of the building and the intermediate ceiling plate, but the roof of the building and the intermediate ceiling plate on which the outdoor heat exchanger is installed are attached to the beam material respectively. Therefore, the load acting on the ceiling portion is transmitted to the frame body having high strength through the beam material. Therefore, the strength and rigidity of the roof portion of the building are increased, and even a heavy heat exchanger can be reliably supported.
Further, the roof of the building is reinforced by a beam material extending over the entire length of the ceiling portion of the electronic device housing chamber. As a result, the deformation of the roof portion is reduced with respect to the vibration of the earthquake, and the earthquake resistance of the entire building is improved.

請求項2の発明は、電子機器収容室の長手方向に延びるビーム材の下方に樋部材(水路を形成するよう両側に壁を有するいわゆるチャンネル材)を固定し、この樋部材を排水口に連通するよう構成したものである。ビーム材が置かれる建造物の屋根と中間天井板との間には、排熱用の室外熱交換器が設置され外気が導入される関係上、中間天井板の上面には雨水や熱交換器のドレンが滞留する。ビーム材は、電子機器収容室の全長に亘り延びているため、その下方に沿って樋部材を固定すると、滞留した水を効率よく排水することができる。そして、樋部材の固定によりビーム材の断面がほぼT字状となるので、ビーム材に作用する曲げモーメントあるいは捩りモーメントに効果的に対抗でき、これらモーメント荷重に対するビーム材近傍の剛性が一層増加することとなる。   The invention of claim 2 fixes a eaves member (a so-called channel material having walls on both sides so as to form a water channel) below the beam material extending in the longitudinal direction of the electronic device housing chamber, and communicates this eaves member with the drain port. It is comprised so that it may do. An outdoor heat exchanger for exhaust heat is installed between the roof of the building where the beam material is placed and the intermediate ceiling plate, so that outside air is introduced, so rainwater and heat exchangers are placed on the upper surface of the intermediate ceiling plate. Of drainage. Since the beam material extends over the entire length of the electronic device housing chamber, the retained water can be efficiently drained by fixing the eaves member along the lower part thereof. Since the cross-section of the beam material becomes substantially T-shaped by fixing the collar member, it can effectively counter the bending moment or torsional moment acting on the beam material, and the rigidity in the vicinity of the beam material against these moment loads further increases. It will be.

本発明の建造物において、中間天井板は、屋根の下方の全面に亘り設置することもできるが、請求項3の発明のように、例えば室外熱交換器が存在する部分等、建造物の屋根の一部分にだけ、その下方に設置してもよい。この場合には、電子機器収容室が増大してスペースの有効利用が可能となる。   In the building of the present invention, the intermediate ceiling plate can be installed over the entire lower surface of the roof. However, as in the invention of claim 3, for example, the roof of the building such as a part where an outdoor heat exchanger exists. You may install in the lower part only in a part. In this case, the electronic device accommodation chamber is increased, and the space can be effectively used.

請求項4の発明は、複数の電子機器をラックに収納するとともに、ラックの上方には室内用の熱交換器を収めた熱交換器外箱を取り付け、この熱交換器外箱を中間天井板に固定するものである。この構成によれば、電子機器を収納したラックと電子機器の冷却装置とがユニット化されて、ラックが独立した冷却装置を備えることとなり、電子機器が稼動中のラックの冷却装置だけを作動させ、電力をその分削減することができる。また、ユニット化されたラック−熱交換器組立体の上部が中間天井板に固定されるため、電子機器収納体の耐震性を向上することができる。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of electronic devices are accommodated in a rack, and a heat exchanger outer box containing an indoor heat exchanger is attached above the rack, and the heat exchanger outer box is attached to the intermediate ceiling plate. It is to be fixed to. According to this configuration, the rack in which the electronic device is stored and the cooling device for the electronic device are unitized, and the rack is provided with an independent cooling device. Only the cooling device for the rack in which the electronic device is operating is operated. , Power can be reduced accordingly. In addition, since the upper part of the unitized rack-heat exchanger assembly is fixed to the intermediate ceiling plate, the earthquake resistance of the electronic device housing can be improved.

本発明においては、電子機器を収めた室内の空気を冷却するため、圧縮機等を用いた冷凍サイクルを実行させ、冷凍サイクルのエバポレータ(蒸発器)を、熱交換器として室内に設置してもよいが、請求項5の発明は、室内の空気を冷却する熱交換器の上方に、その熱交換器と連通し室外に置かれた室外熱交換器を設け、両方の熱交換器の内部に対流により循環する冷媒を封入して、室内の熱を室外熱交換器から排熱するものである。これによれば、基本的に電力を使用することなく、自然対流を利用してコンピュータ等電子機器の冷却を行うことができる。   In the present invention, in order to cool indoor air containing electronic equipment, a refrigeration cycle using a compressor or the like is executed, and an evaporator (evaporator) of the refrigeration cycle is installed indoors as a heat exchanger. However, the invention of claim 5 is provided with an outdoor heat exchanger placed outside the room in communication with the heat exchanger above the heat exchanger that cools the air in the room, and inside both heat exchangers. A refrigerant circulating by convection is enclosed, and indoor heat is exhausted from the outdoor heat exchanger. According to this, it is possible to cool electronic devices such as computers using natural convection basically without using electric power.

請求項6の発明は、フレーム枠体の柱状部材の上部及び下部に、緊締具の係合可能な締結金具を固着し、建造物の屋根を、上部に固着された締結金具よりも低くなる位置に設置するものである。これは、船舶に積み重ねて積載される海上コンテナと同様な構成であって、柱状部材に固着される締結金具は、コーナーキャスティングと呼ばれる。
これにより、建造物同士を直接積み重ねて連結することが可能となり、電子機器の需要の増加に合わせて建造物を増設するときは、既存の建造物上に別のものを積載するだけで増設することができる。ことに、本発明の建造物は、ビーム材により屋根部分が補強されており、上部に別のものを積み重ねても、建造物の過大な変形は防止される。
The invention according to claim 6 is a position in which fasteners that can be engaged with fasteners are fixed to the upper and lower parts of the columnar members of the frame body, and the roof of the building is lower than the fasteners fixed to the upper part. It is to be installed in. This is the same configuration as a marine container that is stacked and loaded on a ship, and a fastening fitting fixed to a columnar member is called corner casting.
As a result, it is possible to directly stack and connect buildings, and when adding a building to meet the increasing demand for electronic equipment, simply add another to the existing building. be able to. In particular, in the building of the present invention, the roof portion is reinforced by the beam material, and excessive deformation of the building is prevented even if another is stacked on top.

請求項7の発明は、電子機器収容室の端部壁と、その端部壁に連結されるフレーム枠体との間に、電子機器収容室の付帯設備を設置するものである。データセンター等の稼動には、保守管理用品収納庫や予備用の空調機などの付帯設備が必要となるが、請求項7の発明によれば、こうした付帯設備を建造物に効率的に配置し、付帯設備を含めてコンパクトにユニット化されたデータセンター等の建造物を得ることができる。   According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, an auxiliary facility for the electronic device housing chamber is installed between the end wall of the electronic device housing chamber and the frame frame connected to the end wall. For operation of a data center or the like, ancillary equipment such as a storage for maintenance management supplies and a spare air conditioner is required. According to the invention of claim 7, such ancillary equipment is efficiently arranged in a building. Buildings such as data centers that are compactly unitized, including incidental facilities, can be obtained.

(See FIG. 4A). The rear end of the electronic device housing chamber CR is a rear end wall RW placed slightly in front of the double door RD. The rear end wall RW is provided with a lockable inner door (not shown), and the security of the electronic device housing room CR of this embodiment is improved by a double door.

そして、電子機器収容室CRの天井部分には、建造物の屋根3の下方に中間天井板7が設けてあり、この部分では、2重天井を形成している。屋根3と中間天井板7との間には、電子機器収容室CRの全長に亘って長手方向に延びるビーム材8が設けられる。ビーム材8の前端は、前端壁FWの上部に固定され、一方、その後端は、後端壁RWよりも後方に延長され、観音開きドアRDを嵌め込む後側フレーム枠体RFの上部に固定されて取り付けられる。   And in the ceiling part of electronic equipment storage room CR, the intermediate | middle ceiling board 7 is provided under the roof 3 of a building, and the double ceiling is formed in this part. Between the roof 3 and the intermediate ceiling plate 7, a beam member 8 extending in the longitudinal direction is provided over the entire length of the electronic device housing chamber CR. The front end of the beam member 8 is fixed to the upper part of the front end wall FW, while the rear end is extended rearward from the rear end wall RW and fixed to the upper part of the rear frame body RF into which the double door RD is fitted. Attached.

ビーム材8及びその取り付け部の詳細な構造を図6に示す。ビーム材8は、図6(c)に示すように(後述の図7も参照)、その断面が基本的には垂直方向の直線となる長尺の板状部材であり、上部には四辺形の閉鎖断面を形成する補強材81が溶接され、下部には、水路を形成するよう断面の両側に壁を有する樋部材82が溶接されている。ビーム材8の前端は、図6(b)(c)に示すように、断面L字形のガセット83を前端壁FWとビーム材8とに溶接することによって、前端壁FWに固定される。このとき、樋部材82は、前端壁FWを貫通して前方の排水口WE(図4(a)参照)に連通する。また、ビーム材8の後端は、図6(c)に示すように、その上部がやはり断面L字形のガセット84を用いて後側フレーム枠体RFに固定される。   FIG. 6 shows the detailed structure of the beam member 8 and its mounting portion.

As shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the front end of the beam member 8 is fixed to the front end wall FW by welding a gusset 83 having an L-shaped cross section to the front end wall FW and the beam member 8. At this time, the eaves member 82 passes through the front end wall FW and communicates with the front drain port WE (see FIG. 4A). Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, the rear end of the beam member 8 is fixed to the rear frame frame RF using a gusset 84 whose upper portion is also L-shaped in cross section.

図7(a)は、電子機器収容室CRの横断面図であって、室内の空気を冷却するための熱交換器と排熱用の室外熱交換器とが、それぞれ中間天井板7の下方と上方とに設置されている。図7(b)には、これら熱交換器を通過して流れる空気の流れを示す。
コンピュータ等の電子機器は、多数のものがラック4に収納される形で電子機器収容室CRに収められ、ラック4は、床面に敷設されたT形板材9上に固定されて(詳細な構造については後述)、電子機器収容室CRの横断面においてほぼ中央部に設置される。各々のラック4の上方には、電子機器収容室CRの室内の空気を冷却する熱交換器10を収めた熱交換器外箱10Hが取り付けられており、ラック4と熱交換器10とは、ユニット化されたラック−熱交換器組立体を構成している。ラック4等の強度及び耐震性を増大させるため、ラック−熱交換器組立体の上部は中間天井板7に固定される。この実施例では、電子機器収容室CR内には8個のラック−熱交換器組立体が設置され(図1)、ラックの上方の熱交換器は、主に組み合わされた下方のラックを独立して冷却するための熱交換器となっている。
FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view of the electronic device housing chamber CR, in which a heat exchanger for cooling indoor air and an outdoor heat exchanger for exhaust heat are respectively located below the intermediate ceiling plate 7. And above. FIG. 7B shows the flow of air flowing through these heat exchangers.
A large number of electronic devices such as computers are housed in the electronic device storage room CR in such a manner that they are housed in the rack 4, and the rack 4 is fixed on a T-shaped plate material 9 laid on the floor (details). The structure will be described later), and the electronic device housing chamber CR is installed at a substantially central portion in the cross section. Above each rack 4, a heat exchanger outer box 10H containing a heat exchanger 10 for cooling the air in the electronic device housing chamber CR is attached. The rack 4 and the heat exchanger 10 are It constitutes a unitized rack-heat exchanger assembly. In order to increase the strength and earthquake resistance of the rack 4 and the like, the upper part of the rack-heat exchanger assembly is fixed to the intermediate ceiling plate 7. In this embodiment, eight rack-heat exchanger assemblies are installed in the electronic device accommodating room CR (FIG. 1), and the upper heat exchanger of the rack mainly separates the lower rack combined. It is a heat exchanger for cooling.

電子機器収容室CRを冷却する熱交換器10の上方には、室外熱交換器11が置かれ、これは、電子機器収容室CRの室外となる中間天井板7の上部に載置される。両方の熱交換器は、特許文献2に記載された熱交換装置のように、互いに連通され、内部には気体−液体の相変化を行う冷媒が封入されている。室内側の熱交換器10の端部には、電子機器収容室CR内の空気を循環するファン12が装着されるとともに、室外熱交換器11の端部には、外気を導入するファン13が装着される。   An outdoor heat exchanger 11 is placed above the heat exchanger 10 that cools the electronic device housing room CR, and is placed on the upper part of the intermediate ceiling plate 7 that is outside the electronic device housing room CR. Both heat exchangers are in communication with each other as in the heat exchange device described in Patent Document 2, and a refrigerant that performs a gas-liquid phase change is sealed inside. A fan 12 that circulates air in the electronic device housing chamber CR is attached to the end of the indoor heat exchanger 10, and a fan 13 that introduces outside air is installed in the end of the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Installed.

図7(b)に示されるとおり、ラック4に収納されたコンピュータの発熱に伴い、温度の上昇した室内の空気は、図の左側矢印のように、電子機器収容室CR内を上昇して熱交換器10に導入され、内部に封入された液体の冷媒を沸騰させる。気体となった冷媒は、対流によって室外熱交換器11に入り、ここで熱を外気に放熱して凝縮し、温度が低下した状態で室内の熱交換器10に還流する。熱交換器10で冷却された室内の空気は、冷却空気を循環するファン12によって図の右側矢印のように送り出され、ラック4に収納されたコンピュータ等を冷却することとなる。
一方、電子機器収容室CRの熱を排熱する室外熱交換器11では、ファン13により導入された外気が室外熱交換器11を冷却した後、直角に曲げられて建造物の長手方向に延びる共通排気ダクト14を通過し、建造物の前端上部又は後端上部の流出口から排出される。外気の流れを逆向きとして、ファン13から排出するようにしてもよい。
As shown in FIG. 7B, as the computer housed in the rack 4 generates heat, the indoor air whose temperature has risen rises in the electronic device housing room CR as indicated by the arrow on the left side of the figure and heats up. The liquid refrigerant introduced into the exchanger 10 and sealed inside is boiled. The refrigerant that has become gas enters the outdoor heat exchanger 11 by convection, where heat is radiated to the outside air to condense, and is returned to the indoor heat exchanger 10 in a state where the temperature is lowered. The indoor air cooled by the heat exchanger 10 is sent out as indicated by the arrow on the right side of the figure by the fan 12 that circulates the cooling air, and cools the computer and the like stored in the rack 4.
On the other hand, in the outdoor heat exchanger 11 that exhausts heat from the electronic device housing chamber CR, the outside air introduced by the fan 13 cools the outdoor heat exchanger 11 and then bends at right angles to extend in the longitudinal direction of the building. It passes through the common exhaust duct 14 and is discharged from the outlet at the upper front end or upper rear end of the building. The flow of outside air may be reversed and discharged from the fan 13.

上述したように、建造物の屋根3と中間天井板7との間には、電子機器収容室CRの全長に亘って長手方向に延びるビーム材8が設けられる。中間天井板7は、この実施例では断熱材の積層された断熱パネルであって、断面拡大図に示すとおり、ビーム材8の下部に溶接された樋部材82に、リベットや接着等で固定される。屋根3は、ビーム材8の上部の、閉鎖断面を形成する補強材81の上方に固定される。つまり、建造物の屋根3及び室外熱交換器11の設置される中間天井板7がそれぞれビーム材8に取り付けられ、天井部分に作用する荷重が、ビーム材8を介して強度の大きいフレーム枠体に伝達される。そのため、建造物の屋根部分の強度や剛性が増大し、重量の大きい熱交換器であっても確実に支持することが可能である。そして、建造物の屋根が補強される結果、建造物全体の耐震性が向上するとともに、図3(a)のような積み重ねの際に、建造物の変形を減少することができる。
また、室外熱交換器11を冷却する外気に含まれる雨水等は、中間天井板7の上面からビーム材8下部の樋部材82に流入し、排水口を介して外部に排出される。樋部材82はビーム材8の補強材としても機能し、ことに、ビーム材に作用するモーメント荷重に対する剛性が一層増加することとなる。
As described above, the beam member 8 extending in the longitudinal direction is provided between the roof 3 of the building and the intermediate ceiling plate 7 over the entire length of the electronic device housing chamber CR. In this embodiment, the intermediate ceiling plate 7 is a heat insulating panel in which heat insulating materials are laminated. As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view, the intermediate ceiling plate 7 is fixed to a flange member 82 welded to the lower portion of the beam material 8 by rivets or adhesion. The The roof 3 is fixed above the beam member 8 and above the reinforcing member 81 forming a closed cross section. That is, the roof 3 of the building and the intermediate ceiling plate 7 on which the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is installed are respectively attached to the beam member 8, and the load acting on the ceiling portion is a frame frame having high strength via the beam member 8. Is transmitted to. Therefore, the strength and rigidity of the roof portion of the building are increased, and even a heavy heat exchanger can be reliably supported. As a result of reinforcing the roof of the building, the earthquake resistance of the entire building is improved, and deformation of the building can be reduced during stacking as shown in FIG.
In addition, rainwater or the like contained in the outside air that cools the outdoor heat exchanger 11 flows from the upper surface of the intermediate ceiling plate 7 into the eaves member 82 below the beam member 8 and is discharged to the outside through the drain port. The eaves member 82 also functions as a reinforcing member for the beam member 8, and in particular, the rigidity against moment load acting on the beam member is further increased.

この実施例における室内空気の冷却装置は、対流により循環する冷媒を封入した2個の熱交換器を設け、密閉した室内の熱を排熱する自然冷却式のものであり、基本的に電力を使用することなく冷却を行うことができる。ただし、室内の空気を冷却するため、圧縮機等を装備して冷凍サイクルを実行させ、冷凍サイクルのエバポレータ(蒸発器)を、熱交換器として室内に設置してもよい。この実施例においても、外気温が上昇して自然冷却式の冷却装置の冷却能力が不足するなどの事態に備えて、冷凍サイクルを実行する予備の空調機が設置されており、そのエバポレータEV(図7(a))が天井面に装着されるとともに、圧縮機やコンデンサ(凝縮器)を収めた室外機CD(図1)が付帯設備として建造物前側の上部に据え付けられている。   The indoor air cooling device in this embodiment is of a natural cooling type in which two heat exchangers enclosing a refrigerant circulated by convection are provided, and the heat in the sealed room is exhausted. Cooling can be performed without use. However, in order to cool indoor air, a refrigeration cycle may be executed by installing a compressor or the like, and an evaporator (evaporator) of the refrigeration cycle may be installed indoors as a heat exchanger. Also in this embodiment, in preparation for a situation where the outside air temperature rises and the cooling capacity of the natural cooling type cooling device is insufficient, a spare air conditioner for executing the refrigeration cycle is installed, and the evaporator EV ( FIG. 7 (a)) is mounted on the ceiling surface, and an outdoor unit CD (FIG. 1) containing a compressor and a condenser (condenser) is installed at the upper part on the front side of the building as ancillary equipment.

It is done. Above the cross member 51, a sandwich panel 15 in which metal plates such as aluminum are laminated on both sides of a heat insulating material such as foamed synthetic resin is installed on almost the entire surface of the building floor. A T-shaped plate material 9 in which a plurality of shaped protrusions 91 are formed in parallel on the bottom plate is laid.

T形板材9は、いわゆるT形ボードと呼ばれる長尺のアルミニウム押出し形材が使用され、図8(a)に示されるように、張出し部の床面まで建造物のほぼ全長に亘って敷設されている。T形板材9を敷設しない部分には、図8(b)に示されるとおり、ハット形断面形状のハット形板材16が敷設されており、ここに浅皿形の空間が形成される。ハット形板材16の上部を含め、ラック4が載置される個所以外の部分は、図示しない薄板のカバーによって覆われる。
この床構造においては、T形板材9の突起91の間の空間、ハット形板材16の空間を利用して、ラックに収納されたコンピュータへの自由なケーブルの配線が可能である。また、ファン12(図7)により室内を循環する冷却空気は、これらの空間を通過してラックの周囲や下部へ流れ込む。そのため、コンピュータ等から発生する熱が効率的に除去され、温度上昇による熱障害が防止される。
As the T-shaped plate member 9, a long aluminum extruded shape member called a so-called T-shaped board is used, and as shown in FIG. ing. As shown in FIG. 8B, a hat-shaped plate material 16 having a hat-shaped cross-sectional shape is laid in a portion where the T-shaped plate material 9 is not laid, and a shallow dish-shaped space is formed here. Portions other than the place where the rack 4 is placed, including the upper portion of the hat-shaped plate material 16, are covered with a thin plate cover (not shown).
In this floor structure, the cable between the projections 91 of the T-shaped plate member 9 and the space of the hat-shaped plate member 16 can be freely wired to the computer stored in the rack. Further, the cooling air circulated in the room by the fan 12 (FIG. 7) passes through these spaces and flows into the periphery and the lower part of the rack. Therefore, the heat generated from the computer or the like is efficiently removed, and a thermal failure due to a temperature rise is prevented.
