Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は通信機器室等の空調方法およびそのシステムに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電算機室やOAルームでは,空調熱負荷のほとんどが顕熱負荷となっており,その床面積当たりの平均発熱密度は500W/m程度である。このような施設では,施工やメンテナンスの容易性,および熱源を分散することができるなどの理由から,全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコンが多く使用されている。
【0003】
またこれらの施設の部屋構造は,多数の電源ケーブルや信号ケーブルを配線する必要があるためその多くは二重床構造となっており,床下チャンバを配線スペースとして利用している。パッケージエアコンによる空調においても床下チャンバを風道として利用するため,上部吸い込み・下部吹き出し方式としており,パッケージエアコンで処理された低温空気を床下チャンバーを通じて,電算機等の設置場所に搬送し,機器下部の開口部から当該低温空気を機器筐体内部に供給して機器からの排熱の処理を行っている。
【0004】
従来のこのような空調システムの構成方法を図4に示す。使用される全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン101は,直膨コイル101aと送風機101bとを有し,直膨コイル101aは,通信機器室Rの外に設置されている室外機101cと冷媒配管101dで結ばれている。この全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン101から吹き出される空気の温度は通常15〜20℃であり,機器筐体102からの排気と通信機器室R内の床面103の室内への吹出し口103a,機器に対応する吹出し口103bから吹き出された空気とが混合した空気,すなわちパッケージエアコン101への戻り空気温度は25℃程度である。したがって,全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン101での処理温度差は,5〜10℃程度となる。現在製品化されている全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン1台当たりの冷却能力は10〜40kW程度であり,施設内の室内壁面に沿って空調熱負荷に応じた台数のパッケージエアコンを設置して室内空調を行っている。
【0005】
また前述のパッケージエアコン方式以外の方法では,冷却装置として冷水コイルを内蔵した空調機を用いる方法がある。この場合,熱源装置としては冷凍機と冷却塔が用いられている。例えば,特許第2979061号公報に開示されているものでは,空調機に2台の冷却コイルを処理空気の流れに対して直列に配置し,1次冷却+2次冷却を行っている。この公開技術では,1次冷却コイルへの冷水供給を,冷凍機で作った冷水系統と,冷却塔のフリークーリングによって作った冷水系統とに切り替えて使用できるようにしている。後者は熱負荷を処理するための熱交換器に,冷却塔で気液接触した後の水を導き冷却を行う方式である。そして冬期や中間期の外気湿球温度が低い時期には,冷却塔のフリークーリングにより冷水を供給することにより,冷凍機の運転時間を低減して省エネルギを図っている。さらに1次冷却および2次冷却用の二つの冷却コイルを直列に用いることにより,1次冷却に冷却塔のフリークーリング運転を行った際の外気条件の変動による冷却能力変化分を,2次冷却により補正しようとするものである。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところでインターネット等の通信技術の発展に伴い,多くの通信基地が建設されている。これらの施設内の通信機器室等では,図5に示されるように,サーバやルータなどの通信機器等を複数台収納したラック111が室内に多数並べられている。これらの施設も空調熱負荷のほとんどが顕熱負荷であり,その発熱密度は一般的な電算機室よりもかなり大きくなってきている。この傾向は当分の間続くと予想され,床面積当たりの平均発熱密度は1000W/mを超えると予想される。
【0007】
このような発熱密度が高い機器室の空調を行う場合には,前記した従来の電算機室等で採用されている従来の全顕熱処理型パッケージエアコンの設置台数を熱負荷に応じて増加する方式では,パッケージエアコンの設置台数が著しく増え,施設内の室内壁面だけでは室内機を設置できなくなるおそれがある。またパッケージエアコンの設置台数の増加に伴い,送風空気量も著しく増加し,二重床の下部空間での送風抵抗が増加する。したがって,従来型のパッケージエアコンを増設する方式では,室内機の設置スペースの確保が難しくなるばかりでなく,送風エネルギーの増加を招くことになる。
【0008】
さらに後者の公開技術によれば,冷熱源が同系統の集中熱源であり,夏期の冷凍機のみによる運転モードの場合に冷凍機廻りでの故障や事故が発生すると,空調熱源が完全停止してしまうという危険性がある。また,空調機の修理やメンテナンスの場合には,空調機1台を全停止させることになり,その空調機が受け持つエリアの室温は上昇する。また,空調熱負荷が著しく大きい施設では,設備容量も増加するため熱源機器(冷凍機・冷却塔)設置スペースや配管の量が膨大となり,広い機械室やパイプシャフトスペースが必要となってしまいレンタビリティが減少するという不具合も生じる。
【0009】
本発明は,かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり,通信機器,電算機等,高密度の排熱がある各種機器を設置している室の施設において,冷却装置の柔軟な運転パターンが実施でき,かつ省スペース,省エネルギを図ることが可能な空調方法および空調システムを提供することをその目的としている。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するため,本発明によれば,通信機器室等の空気調和を行う方法であって,冷熱源が異なった一次冷却装置と二次冷却装置とを有し,一次冷却装置は冷水により被処理空気を冷却するようにし,二次冷却装置は直膨作用により被処理空気を冷却するようにし,前記一次冷却装置を複数台有し,これら各一次冷却装置の空気の出口側は並列に接続され,前記二次冷却装置を複数台有し,これら各二次冷却装置の空気の入口側は並列に接続され,前記各一次冷却装置によって処理された後の出口空気は,各二次冷却装置に並列に送られ,各二次冷却装置においては,当該出口空気をさらに処理し,二次冷却装置の出口空気を給気として前記通信機器室等に供給することを特徴とする,通信機器室等の空調方法が提供される。なお本明細書でいう通信機器等とは,通信機器,電算機等,高密度の排熱がある各種機器をいい,通信機器室等とは,そのような各種機器を設置している室をいう。
【0011】
このように異なった冷熱源を有する一次冷却装置と二次冷却装置とを,各一次冷却装置によって処理された後の出口空気を,各二次冷却装置に送り,各二次冷却装置においては,当該出口空気をさらに処理するようにしたので,大温度差冷却を実施することができ,送風量の低減が図れる。また冷熱源に異なったものを使用しているので,柔軟な運転パターンが実施でき,故障やメンテナンスの際にも全ての冷却装置を停止させる必要がない。一次冷却装置は例えば冷水を冷熱源とした中央処理型,二次冷却装置は例えば空冷型のパッケージエアコンなどの分散型の空調装置が適している。
【0012】
また一次冷却装置を複数台有し,これら各一次冷却装置の空気の出口側は並列に接続され,二次冷却装置を複数台有し,これら各二次冷却装置の空気の入口側は並列に接続され,前記各一次冷却装置によって処理された後の出口空気は,各二次冷却装置に並列に送られ,各二次冷却装置においては,当該出口空気をさらに処理し,各二次冷却装置の出口空気を給気として前記通信機器室等に供給するようにしたので,例えばある一次冷却装置や二次冷却装置が何らの理由で停止しても,停止していない他の全ての冷却装置を用いて常に大温度差冷却,すなわち室内からの還気と,目的とする負荷である通信機器等への給気の温度差が大きい空調を実施することが可能である。
【0013】
本発明で使用する一次冷却装置は冷水コイルを有する冷却装置が好ましく,また二次冷却装置は直膨コイルを備えた全顕熱処理型パッケージエアコンが適している。この場合,冷水コイルの冷水は,夏期には冷凍機で作られる冷水を使用し,冬期又は中間期には冷却塔のフリークーリングで作られる冷水を使用することにより,省エネルギ効果の高い空調運転が行える。なお通信機器室の還気は一次冷却装置で処理することがよい。
【0014】
通信機器室内には,通常人員が通信機器等の保守作業をするための保守エリアが設けられていることが多いが,当該エリアには大温度差冷却を実施するほどの発熱量はないので,一次冷却装置の出口空気の一部を取りだして,当該保守エリアの空調用空気として用いることが実際的であり,エネルギの無駄な消費を抑えることができる。
【0015】
本発明の空調システムとしては,請求項のように,通信機器室等の空気調和を行うシステムであって,複数の一次冷却装置と,前記一次冷却装置とは冷熱源が異なった複数の二次冷却装置と,少なくとも前記複数の一次冷却装置の空気の出口側を並列に結ぶ一次連通ダクトと,複数の二次冷却装置の空気の入口側を並列に結ぶ二次連通ダクトと,前記一次連通ダクトと二次連通ダクトを接続する連通ダクトと,前記二次冷却装置の出口空気を各々前記通信機器室等内に供給する供給部とを有し,前記各二次冷却装置の入口側には,各々ダンパが設けられていることを特徴とする,通信機器室等の空調システムが提供される。
【0016】
この場合,一次連通ダクト又は二次連通ダクトのいずれかに,連通ダクトとしての機能を持たせてもよい。さらにまた,後述の実施の形態のように,一次連通ダクトと二次連通ダクトを兼用としてもよい。すなわち,一次連通ダクト,二次連通ダクト,及び連通ダクトは,少なくとも前記一次冷却装置の空気の出口側又は前記二次冷却装置の空気の入口側を結ぶ兼用ダクトによって兼用されているように構成してもよい。
【0017】
かかるシステムによれば,一次冷却装置で処理した空気をさらに二次冷却装置で処理して大温度差冷却を実施することができ,また柔軟な運転パターンが実施でき,故障やメンテナンスの際にも全ての冷却装置を停止させる必要がない。しかも停止していない他の全ての冷却装置を用いて,常に大温度差冷却を実施する事が可能である。また連通ダクトによって処理空気が混合されるため,熱負荷が偏在する場合に生ずる冷却量の不足を緩和することができる。
【0018】
この場合,前記一次冷却装置の出口空気の一部を前記通信機器室内の保守エリアに供給する個別供給部を備えれば,一次冷却装置の出口空気の一部を取りだして,当該保守エリアの空調用空気として用いることが可能になる。
【0019】
さらに前記冷水コイルユニットに冷水を供給するための冷凍機と,前記冷凍機の凝縮器に冷却水を供給する冷却塔を備え,前記冷却塔からの冷却水は,前記冷水コイルユニットにも供給自在に構成すれば,冷水コイルユニットで使用する冷水は,夏期には冷凍機で作られる冷水を使用し,冬期又は中間期には冷却塔のフリークーリングで作られる冷水を使用することで,省エネルギ効果の高い空調運転が行える。前記直膨コイルを含む二次冷却装置の冷媒サイクル中の凝縮器側の冷却は,空冷方式がよい。
【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下,本発明の好ましい実施の形態について説明すると,図1は,本実施の形態にかかる空調システム全体の構成の概略を示している。このシステムでは,一次冷却装置として,冷水コイル1を有する冷水コイルユニット2を複数台有している。この各冷水コイルユニット2は,ケーシングとダクト接続用フランジ,必要に応じて冷水コイルの出入口まわりに自動弁を備えており,その冷水コイル1には,往管4からの冷水が流れ,冷水コイル1において処理空気と熱交換されて昇温した冷水は,還管5で戻される。
【0021】
前記往管4には,冷凍機3の蒸発器3aからの冷水が供給される冷水往管6が接続され,還管5には冷水戻し管7が接続されている。冷水往管6,冷水戻し管7には,各々弁V1,V2が介装されている。また冷凍機3の凝縮器3bと冷却塔11との間には,昇温した冷却水の往管12,降温した冷却水の戻し管13が配管されている。冷却水の往管12,冷却水の戻し管13には,各々弁V3,V4が介装されている。また冷却水の往管12,冷却水の戻し管13は,途中で接続管15,16を介して各々前記往管4,還管5とも接続されている。そして各接続管15,16には,弁V5,V6が介装されている。なお図1では密閉式冷却塔が図示されているが,開放式冷却塔でシステムを構成しても作用は変わらない。
【0022】
したがって,前記弁V1〜V6の切換開閉操作により,冷水コイル1には,冷凍機3の蒸発器3aとの間の循環系からの冷水と,冷却塔11との間の循環系からの冷却水が供給可能である。
【0023】
各冷水コイルユニット2の冷水コイル1の被処理空気の出口側には,冷水コイル1によって冷却された後の空気を送るための供給ダクト21が設けられており,各供給ダクト21相互は,一次連通ダクト22によって連通している。なお各供給ダクト21には,ダンパD1が介装されている。一次連通ダクト22は,複数の連通ダクト23と接続されており,これら複数の連通ダクト23は,二次連通ダクト24に接続されている。一次連通ダクト22,二次連通ダクト24はヘッダーダクトを構成している。
【0024】
そして二次連通ダクト24には,二次冷却装置である全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31の直膨コイル33の入口に処理空気を導入するための複数の導入ダクト32が接続されている。なお各導入ダクト32には,ダンパD2が介装されている。
【0025】
各全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31は,導入ダクト32から導入された空気,すなわち,冷水コイルユニット2で処理された後の空気と,直膨コイル33との間で熱交換してこれを降温させ,給気として送風機34によって吹き出す構成を有している。各全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31は,室外機35を有しており,冷媒配管36を通じて直膨コイル33との間で冷媒の循環が行われ,ファン37によって凝縮熱が放熱される空冷タイプである。そして圧縮機と膨張弁などの減圧装置を介して直膨コイル内で冷媒が膨張し,蒸発による冷却を行うように構成されている。さらに図示しないが,被処理空気の潜熱は処理しないが全ての顕熱を処理するような制御機構を備えている。また図示では室外機35に圧縮機を有し,複数の室内機をまかなう,いわゆるマルチ方式を採用しているが,室内機に圧縮機をもつ方式でもよい。また室内機と室外機を一体にした,例えばウォールスルー型エアコンでも構わない。
【0026】
二次連通ダクト24には,冷水コイルユニット2の出口空気を直接供給するための供給ダクト38が別途接続されている。送風機39によって,所定の保守エリアに冷水コイルユニット2の出口空気を供給することが可能になっている。
【0027】
前記実施の形態にかかる空調システムの全体としての概要は,以上のような構成を有している。かかる構成により,1次冷却装置としての冷水コイル2は,例えば通信機器室内の上部空間の高温空気を吸引し,中温度域にまで冷却を行い,次に2次冷却装置としてのパッケージエアコン31の直膨コイル33では中温度域の空気を低温度域にまで冷却する。例えば,高温度域の空気が40℃の場合,40℃(高温度域)→25℃(中温度域)→15℃(低温度域)のステップで大温度差冷却を行うことが可能になっている。なお図示しない外気調和機及び排気ファンが,適宜のダクト(図示せず)を介して,外気導入口及び排気口に連結されて室の壁部に設けられている。外気調和機では外気の減湿や加湿をまかない,一次冷却装置および二次冷却装置では,できるだけ被処理空気に湿度の変動を起こさないように運転する。次に図2,3を参照して,通信機器室に適用した構成についてさらに詳しく説明する。
【0028】
図2に示したように,空調対象としている通信機器室Rの床は,二重床構造となっており,床下チャンバ51を有している。そして床面Fには,サーバ等の各種の通信機器52を多段に搭載したラック53が所定間隔で室内に設置されている。ラック53の上部には,ラック内の雰囲気を上方に吹き上げるためのファン54が設けられている。ラック53相互間のスペース,及び室の内壁とラック53との間のスペースは保守エリアMを創出している。
【0029】
全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31は,通信機器室R内の壁面に設置され,その上部空間に冷水コイル1(一次冷却装置)が設置されている。複数の冷水コイル1の処理空気の出口空間は一次連通ダクト22,連通ダクト23及び二次連通ダクト24とを兼用とした,兼用ダクトDDとなっており,この兼用ダクトDDに,各全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31の導入ダクト32が接続されている。冷水コイルユニット2は,通信機器室Rの奥行き方向に空気吸込口を,接続ダクト32に向けて空気吐出口を有し,他の面は閉鎖されている。
【0030】
全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31の下部から送風機34によって吹き出された低温空気は,床下チャンバ51に吹き出され,通信機器室Rのラック53の下部であって,ラック53の底面開口位置に合わせて形成された吹出し口55からラック53内に流入するようになっている。
【0031】
また保守エリアMの床面Fには,吹出し装置40が設置されており,前記導入ダクト32におけるダンパD2の上流側に接続された供給ダクト38からの空調空気を送風機39によって保守エリアMに吹き出すことが可能になっている。吹出し装置40は,拡散板を備えるなどして,拡散機能のある吹出口フェースを備え,他は導入ダクト32との接続口を除いて閉鎖されたケーシングである。吹出口フェースからは,調和空気が室の奥行き方向に向けて室内を均一温度にするように吹き出される。必要に応じて送風機39を内蔵してもよい。運転例としては,例えば低速で床を這うように吹出すようにして,室内に温度成層を保持した室内環境を形成する例が挙げられる。
【0032】
本実施の形態にかかる空調システムは,以上の構成を有しており,例えば夏期の通常運転の場合には,冷凍機3からの冷水が各冷水コイル1に送られ,通信機器室R内の上部の高温空気を処理して,例えば25℃程度にまで冷却する。各冷水コイル1によって処理された空気は,兼用ダクトDD内に送られ,導入ダクト32を介して,今度は全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31によって冷却され,例えば15℃程度にまで冷却され,床下チャンバ51に吹き出される。
【0033】
床下チャンバ51に吹き出された低温の空気は,吹出し口55からラック53内に流入して,ラック53内の通信機器52の発熱を処理して,ラック53上部のファン54により通信機器室Rの上方に排気される。排気された高温空気は,通信機器室Rの上部空間に滞留しながら移動し,冷水コイル1に吸い込まれ,再び冷水コイル1による1次冷却,全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31による2次冷却によって大温度差冷却が行われ,再び床下チャンバ51に吹き出されるのである。
したがって,まず本実施の形態によれば,そのような一次冷却+二次冷却による大温度差冷却によって通信機器室Rの空調が実施されているので,送風量が少なくて済み,パッケージエアコン31の設置台数も従来よりも少なくて済む。したがって,レンタブル比が向上する。
【0034】
また冷水コイル1による一次冷却と,全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31による二次冷却とは,異なる冷熱源であるから,不測の事態によっていずれか一方の運転が停止した場合にでも,通信機器室Rに対する空調が全て停止するわけではない。また,メンテナンスや故障により二次冷却装置であるパッケージエアコン31の一部が停止した場合でも,一次冷却装置としての冷水コイル1は全て利用できる。
【0035】
冷水コイル1の処理空気出口側およびパッケージエアコン31の処理空気入口側は,それぞれ兼用ダクトDDで接続されて連通しており,かつパッケージエアコン31毎に導入ダクト32及びダンパD1を備えているので,これらの機器は,前述の有利さを保ちながら,通信機器室R内をいくつかのゾーンに分割し,ゾーン毎の負荷をまかなわせることもできる。それによって,ゾーン内の冷水コイル1,パッケージエアコン31の台数制御運転を行う場合にも,停止していない他の全ての冷水コイル1,パッケージエアコン31を用いて1次冷却+2次冷却による大温度差冷却が可能となっている。
【0036】
さらにまた,冷水コイル1での冷却を行いつつ,パッケージエアコン31の台数制御運転や送風運転(圧縮機のみ停止して送風機34を稼働させる)など,様々な運転パターンを実施することが出来る。また兼用ダクトDDによって処理空気が混合されるため,熱負荷が著しく偏在する場合に,還気の温度差によって生じる局所的な冷却量の不足を緩和することができる。
【0037】
また冷水コイル1の熱源は,前記したように,夏期には冷凍機3で作られる冷水を使用していたが,外気湿球温度が低い冬期や中間期には,弁V1〜V6を切り換えて,冷却塔11からの冷却水を直接冷熱源として使用して,いわゆるフリークーリングで作る冷水を用いることができ,省エネルギー運転も図ることができる。一次冷却装置の冷却能力の変動は,二段目の直膨コイルでまかなうこととしているため,フリークーリングの時期を長くとれ,年間の冷凍機運転費をより抑えることが可能である。このように一次冷却装置を冷水コイルとすることで,フリークーリングによる省エネルギー効果をより高めることができる。
【0038】
なお一次冷却装置の冷水コイル1,および二次冷却装置のパッケージエアコン31の直膨コイル33の冷水温度および冷媒蒸発温度は,コイル表面に結露が生じない温度に制御を行うことが好ましく,それによって通信機器室R内のラックに収納されている通信機器等にとって常に好ましい湿度雰囲気とすることが可能である。
【0039】
また全顕熱処理型のパッケージエアコン31の室外機35の凝縮器は空冷方式であるので,各通信機器室Rのベランダなどに分散して設置することができ,スペースを有効に使用することが可能である。
【0040】
さらに人員が作業する保守エリアMに対しては,別途適正温度の空調空気が吹出し装置40によって供給されているので,エネルギを有効に使用して,無駄のない好適な保守環境が実現されている。
【0041】
本発明によれば,以上のように,大温度差冷却を実施しているので,前記した通信機器室をはじめとして,その他電算機や各種の高密度発熱機器の設置されている室の空調に要する空気送風量の大幅な低減を実現することができる。しかも空調機器の設置面積の低減を図ることができる。
【0042】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば,通信機器等からの高密度の排熱がある施設において,冷却装置の柔軟な運転パターンが実施でき,かつ省スペース,省エネルギを図ることが可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an air conditioning method for a communication equipment room or the like and a system thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the computer room and OA room, most of the air conditioning heat load is sensible heat load, and the average heat density per floor area is about 500 W / m 2 . In such facilities, full sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioners are often used because of the ease of construction and maintenance and the ability to disperse heat sources.
[0003]
The room structure of these facilities requires a large number of power cables and signal cables, and many of them have a double floor structure, and the underfloor chamber is used as a wiring space. In order to use the underfloor chamber as an air path in air conditioning with a packaged air conditioner, the upper suction / lower blowing system is used. The low-temperature air treated by the packaged air conditioner is transported to the installation location of a computer, etc. through the underfloor chamber, The low-temperature air is supplied to the inside of the equipment casing from the opening of the equipment to treat the exhaust heat from the equipment.
[0004]
A conventional method of configuring such an air conditioning system is shown in FIG. The full sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioner 101 includes a direct expansion coil 101a and a blower 101b. The direct expansion coil 101a includes an outdoor unit 101c and a refrigerant pipe 101d installed outside the communication device room R. Tied. The temperature of the air blown out from this all-sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioner 101 is normally 15 to 20 ° C., and the exhaust from the equipment casing 102 and the blowout opening 103a into the room 103 on the floor 103 in the communication equipment room R, The air mixed with the air blown from the air outlet 103b corresponding to the device, that is, the return air temperature to the packaged air conditioner 101 is about 25 ° C. Therefore, the processing temperature difference in the full sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 101 is about 5 to 10 ° C. The cooling capacity per unit of all sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioners currently commercialized is about 10-40 kW, and the number of packaged air conditioners according to the air conditioning heat load is installed along the indoor wall surface in the facility. Air conditioning.
[0005]
In addition to the above-described package air conditioner method, there is a method using an air conditioner with a built-in cold water coil as a cooling device. In this case, a refrigerator and a cooling tower are used as the heat source device. For example, in the one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2997661, two cooling coils are arranged in series with respect to the flow of processing air in an air conditioner to perform primary cooling and secondary cooling. In this open technology, the chilled water supply to the primary cooling coil can be switched between a chilled water system made by a refrigerator and a chilled water system made by free cooling of a cooling tower. The latter is a system in which water after gas-liquid contact in a cooling tower is introduced into a heat exchanger for treating heat load and cooled. In winter and in the mid-term, when the temperature of the outdoor wet bulb is low, cold water is supplied by free cooling of the cooling tower to reduce the operation time of the refrigerator and save energy. Furthermore, by using two cooling coils for primary cooling and secondary cooling in series, the amount of change in cooling capacity due to fluctuations in the outside air conditions during free cooling operation of the cooling tower for primary cooling can Is to be corrected.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, with the development of communication technologies such as the Internet, many communication bases have been constructed. In communication equipment rooms in these facilities, as shown in FIG. 5, a large number of racks 111 containing a plurality of communication equipment such as servers and routers are arranged in the room. In these facilities, most of the air conditioning heat load is sensible heat load, and the heat generation density is much larger than that of a general computer room. This trend is expected to continue for the time being, and the average heat density per floor area is expected to exceed 1000 W / m 2 .
[0007]
When air-conditioning equipment rooms with high heat generation density, the number of conventional all-sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioners used in the conventional computer room is increased according to the heat load. However, the number of installed packaged air conditioners will increase significantly, and indoor units may not be able to be installed using only the indoor wall surface in the facility. Also, as the number of packaged air conditioners increases, the amount of air blown increases significantly, and the air blowing resistance in the lower space of the double floor increases. Therefore, the conventional method of adding a packaged air conditioner not only makes it difficult to secure the installation space for the indoor unit, but also increases the blast energy.
[0008]
Furthermore, according to the latter published technology, the cooling heat source is a centralized heat source of the same system, and if a failure or accident occurs around the refrigerator in the summer operation mode with only the refrigerator, the air conditioning heat source is completely stopped. There is a risk that it will end. In the case of repair or maintenance of an air conditioner, one air conditioner is completely stopped, and the room temperature of the area that the air conditioner is responsible for rises. Also, in facilities where the air conditioning heat load is significantly large, the capacity of the equipment increases, so the amount of heat source equipment (refrigerator / cooling tower) installation space and piping is enormous, and a large machine room and pipe shaft space are required. There is also a problem that the ability is reduced.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of such points, and a flexible operation pattern of a cooling device is implemented in a facility of a room in which various devices having high-density exhaust heat such as communication devices and computers are installed. An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioning method and an air conditioning system that can save space and energy.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for air conditioning in a communication equipment room or the like, comprising a primary cooling device and a secondary cooling device with different cooling sources, and the primary cooling device is a cold water source. so as to cool the air to be treated by, the secondary cooling device so as to cool the air to be treated by a direct膨作has a plurality of the primary cooling device, the outlet side of the air of the primary cooling device in parallel connected to said a plurality of secondary cooling device, the inlet side of the air of the secondary cooling device is connected in parallel, the outlet air after being processed by each primary cooling device, each secondary Sent to the cooling device in parallel, and in each secondary cooling device, the outlet air is further processed, and the outlet air of each secondary cooling device is supplied to the communication equipment room or the like as supply air, An air conditioning method for a communication equipment room or the like is provided.

Say.
[0011]
In this way, the primary cooling device and the secondary cooling device having different cooling heat sources are sent to the respective secondary cooling devices by the outlet air after being processed by each primary cooling device. Since the outlet air is further processed , large temperature difference cooling can be performed, and the amount of blown air can be reduced. In addition, because different cooling sources are used, flexible operation patterns can be implemented, and it is not necessary to stop all cooling devices in the event of failure or maintenance. For example, a central processing type using cold water as a heat source is suitable for the primary cooling device, and a distributed type air conditioning device such as an air-cooled packaged air conditioner is suitable for the secondary cooling device.
[0012]
Also, there are multiple primary cooling units , the air outlet sides of each primary cooling unit are connected in parallel, and there are multiple secondary cooling units , and the air inlet sides of these secondary cooling units are connected in parallel. The outlet air connected and processed by each primary cooling device is sent in parallel to each secondary cooling device, and each secondary cooling device further processes the outlet air, and each secondary cooling device. in the outlet air as the supply air was then supplied to the communication equipment room or the like, for example be stopped is the primary cooling system and the secondary cooling device at any reason, all other not stopped cooled It is possible to always carry out large temperature difference cooling using the apparatus, that is, air conditioning in which the temperature difference between the return air from the room and the supply air to the communication device or the like as the target load is large.
[0013]
The primary cooling device used in the present invention is preferably a cooling device having a cold water coil, and the secondary cooling device is suitably an all-sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioner having a direct expansion coil. In this case, the chilled water in the chilled water coil is chilled water produced by a freezer during the summer, and chilled water produced by free cooling of the cooling tower is used in the winter or mid-term, resulting in a highly energy-saving air conditioning operation. Can be done. The return air in the communication equipment room is preferably processed by a primary cooling device.
[0014]
In the communication equipment room, there is often a maintenance area for normal personnel to perform maintenance work on the communication equipment, etc., but the area does not have enough heat to perform large temperature differential cooling. It is practical to take a part of the outlet air of the primary cooling device and use it as air-conditioning air in the maintenance area, and wasteful consumption of energy can be suppressed.
[0015]

[0016]
In this case, either the primary communication duct or the secondary communication duct may have a function as a communication duct. Furthermore, as in the embodiments described later, the primary communication duct and the secondary communication duct may be combined. That is, the primary communication duct, the secondary communication duct, and the communication duct, configured as is shared by the combined duct connecting the inlet side of the air at least the air outlet side or the secondary cooling device the primary cooling device May be.
[0017]
According to such a system, the air treated by the primary cooling device can be further treated by the secondary cooling device to carry out large temperature difference cooling, and a flexible operation pattern can be implemented. It is not necessary to stop all cooling devices. Moreover, it is possible to always perform large temperature difference cooling using all other cooling devices that are not stopped. In addition, since the processing air is mixed by the communication duct, it is possible to alleviate the shortage of the cooling amount that occurs when the heat load is unevenly distributed.
[0018]
In this case, if an individual supply unit for supplying a part of the outlet air of the primary cooling device to the maintenance area in the communication device room is provided, a part of the outlet air of the primary cooling device is taken out and air conditioning in the maintenance area is performed. It can be used as working air.
[0019]
The apparatus further comprises a refrigerator for supplying cold water to the cold water coil unit, and a cooling tower for supplying cooling water to the condenser of the refrigerator, and the cooling water from the cooling tower can also be supplied to the cold water coil unit. In this way, the chilled water used in the chilled water coil unit is energy-saving by using chilled water produced by a freezer in the summer and cold water produced by free cooling of the cooling tower in the winter or intermediate period. Highly effective air-conditioning operation can be performed. The cooling on the condenser side in the refrigerant cycle of the secondary cooling device including the direct expansion coil is preferably an air cooling method.
[0020]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an outline of the configuration of the entire air conditioning system according to the present embodiment. In this system, a plurality of cold water coil units 2 each having a cold water coil 1 are provided as primary cooling devices. Each of the chilled water coil units 2 is provided with a casing, a flange for connecting a duct, and if necessary, an automatic valve around the inlet / outlet of the chilled water coil. The chilled water heated by the heat exchange with the processing air in 1 is returned by the return pipe 5.
[0021]
The outgoing pipe 4 is connected to a cold water outgoing pipe 6 to which cold water from the evaporator 3 a of the refrigerator 3 is supplied, and the return pipe 5 is connected to a cold water return pipe 7. Valves V1 and V2 are interposed in the cold water outgoing pipe 6 and the cold water return pipe 7, respectively. Further, between the condenser 3 b of the refrigerator 3 and the cooling tower 11, an outgoing pipe 12 of the raised cooling water and a return pipe 13 of the lowered cooling water are piped. Valves V3 and V4 are interposed in the cooling water forward pipe 12 and the cooling water return pipe 13, respectively. The cooling water outgoing pipe 12 and the cooling water return pipe 13 are also connected to the outgoing pipe 4 and the return pipe 5 via connecting pipes 15 and 16 on the way. The connecting pipes 15 and 16 are provided with valves V5 and V6. In addition, although the closed type cooling tower is shown in FIG. 1, even if it comprises a system with an open type cooling tower, an effect | action does not change.
[0022]
Therefore, by the switching opening / closing operation of the valves V1 to V6, the cold water coil 1 has cold water from the circulation system to the evaporator 3a of the refrigerator 3 and cooling water from the circulation system to the cooling tower 11. Can be supplied.
[0023]
A supply duct 21 for sending air after being cooled by the cold water coil 1 is provided on the outlet side of the air to be treated of the cold water coil 1 of each cold water coil unit 2. The communication duct 22 communicates. Each supply duct 21 is provided with a damper D1. The primary communication duct 22 is connected to a plurality of communication ducts 23, and the plurality of communication ducts 23 are connected to a secondary communication duct 24. The primary communication duct 22 and the secondary communication duct 24 constitute a header duct.
[0024]
The secondary communication duct 24 is connected with a plurality of introduction ducts 32 for introducing process air into the inlet of the direct expansion coil 33 of the all-sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 as a secondary cooling device. Each introduction duct 32 is provided with a damper D2.
[0025]
Each fully sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioner 31 heat-exchanges between the air introduced from the introduction duct 32, that is, the air treated by the cold water coil unit 2 and the direct expansion coil 33 to lower the temperature. The air blower 34 blows out the air supply. Each full sensible heat treatment type packaged air conditioner 31 has an outdoor unit 35, in which the refrigerant is circulated between the direct expansion coil 33 through the refrigerant pipe 36 and the heat of condensation is radiated by the fan 37. It is. Then, the refrigerant expands in the direct expansion coil via a decompression device such as a compressor and an expansion valve, and is cooled by evaporation. Although not shown, a control mechanism is provided that does not process the latent heat of the air to be processed but processes all sensible heat. Further, in the drawing, the outdoor unit 35 has a compressor and a so-called multi-system that covers a plurality of indoor units is adopted, but a system having a compressor in the indoor unit may be used. Further, for example, a wall-through type air conditioner in which an indoor unit and an outdoor unit are integrated may be used.
[0026]
A supply duct 38 for directly supplying the outlet air of the cold water coil unit 2 is connected to the secondary communication duct 24 separately. The blower 39 can supply the outlet air of the cold water coil unit 2 to a predetermined maintenance area.
[0027]
The outline of the entire air conditioning system according to the embodiment has the above-described configuration. With such a configuration, the chilled water coil 2 as the primary cooling device sucks high-temperature air in the upper space in the communication device room, for example, cools it to the middle temperature range, and then the package air conditioner 31 as the secondary cooling device. The direct expansion coil 33 cools the air in the middle temperature range to the low temperature range. For example, when the air in the high temperature range is 40 ° C., it becomes possible to perform large temperature difference cooling in steps of 40 ° C. (high temperature range) → 25 ° C. (medium temperature range) → 15 ° C. (low temperature range). ing. An outside air conditioner and an exhaust fan (not shown) are connected to the outside air introduction port and the exhaust port via appropriate ducts (not shown) and provided on the wall of the chamber. The outdoor air conditioner does not dehumidify or humidify the outside air, and the primary and secondary cooling devices are operated so that the air to be treated does not fluctuate as much as possible. Next, the configuration applied to the communication equipment room will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 2, the floor of the communication device room R to be air-conditioned has a double floor structure and has an underfloor chamber 51. On the floor F, racks 53 in which various communication devices 52 such as servers are mounted in multiple stages are installed indoors at predetermined intervals. A fan 54 for blowing up the atmosphere in the rack upward is provided at the top of the rack 53. The space between the racks 53 and the space between the inner wall of the room and the rack 53 create a maintenance area M.
[0029]
The all-sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 is installed on the wall surface in the communication equipment room R, and the cold water coil 1 (primary cooling device) is installed in the upper space. The processing air outlet space of the plurality of cold water coils 1 is a dual-purpose duct DD that also serves as the primary communication duct 22, the communication duct 23, and the secondary communication duct 24. The introduction duct 32 of the type package air conditioner 31 is connected. The cold water coil unit 2 has an air suction port in the depth direction of the communication device room R and an air discharge port toward the connection duct 32, and the other surfaces are closed.
[0030]
The low-temperature air blown out from the lower part of the fully sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 by the blower 34 is blown into the underfloor chamber 51, below the rack 53 in the communication equipment room R, and in accordance with the bottom opening position of the rack 53. The air flows into the rack 53 from the blowout port 55 formed.
[0031]
A blower 40 is installed on the floor F of the maintenance area M, and conditioned air from the supply duct 38 connected to the upstream side of the damper D2 in the introduction duct 32 is blown out to the maintenance area M by the blower 39. It is possible. The blow-out device 40 includes a diffuser plate or the like and a blow-out port face having a diffusion function, and the other is a casing closed except for a connection port with the introduction duct 32. From the blowout face, conditioned air is blown out in the depth direction of the room so that the room has a uniform temperature. You may incorporate the air blower 39 as needed. As an example of operation, for example, an indoor environment in which temperature stratification is maintained in a room is formed by blowing off the floor at low speed.
[0032]
The air conditioning system according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration. For example, in the case of normal operation in summer, cold water from the refrigerator 3 is sent to each cold water coil 1 and is stored in the communication equipment room R. The upper hot air is treated and cooled to about 25 ° C., for example. The air treated by each cold water coil 1 is sent into the dual-purpose duct DD, and is then cooled by the fully sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 through the introduction duct 32, for example, to about 15 ° C. It is blown out into the chamber 51.
[0033]
The low-temperature air blown into the underfloor chamber 51 flows into the rack 53 from the blowout port 55, processes the heat generated by the communication device 52 in the rack 53, and is installed in the communication device room R by the fan 54 above the rack 53. It is exhausted upward. The exhausted high-temperature air moves while staying in the upper space of the communication equipment room R, is sucked into the cold water coil 1, and again by the primary cooling by the cold water coil 1 and the secondary cooling by the all-sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31. Large temperature difference cooling is performed and the air is blown out again into the underfloor chamber 51.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the air conditioning of the communication device room R is performed by such a large temperature difference cooling by the primary cooling and the secondary cooling, it is possible to reduce the amount of blown air. The number of installations can be smaller than before. Therefore, the rentable ratio is improved.
[0034]
In addition, since the primary cooling by the cold water coil 1 and the secondary cooling by the all-sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 are different heat sources, even if one of the operations is stopped due to an unexpected situation, the communication equipment room Not all air conditioning for R stops. Even when a part of the packaged air conditioner 31 that is the secondary cooling device is stopped due to maintenance or failure, all the cold water coils 1 as the primary cooling device can be used.
[0035]
The processing air outlet side of the chilled water coil 1 and the processing air inlet side of the packaged air conditioner 31 are connected and communicated with each other by a dual-purpose duct DD, and each packaged air conditioner 31 has an introduction duct 32 and a damper D1. While maintaining these advantages, these devices can divide the inside of the communication device room R into several zones to cover the load for each zone. As a result, even when the number of chilled water coils 1 and packaged air conditioners 31 in the zone is controlled, a large temperature is generated by primary cooling and secondary cooling using all other cold water coils 1 and packaged air conditioners 31 that are not stopped. Differential cooling is possible.
[0036]
Furthermore, various cooling patterns such as the number control operation of the packaged air conditioner 31 and the air blowing operation (stopping only the compressor and operating the air blower 34) can be performed while cooling with the cold water coil 1. Further, since the processing air is mixed by the dual-purpose duct DD, it is possible to alleviate the local shortage of cooling caused by the temperature difference of the return air when the heat load is unevenly distributed.
[0037]
As described above, the heat source of the cold water coil 1 uses cold water produced by the refrigerator 3 in the summer, but the valves V1 to V6 are switched in the winter and intermediate periods when the outdoor wet bulb temperature is low. Using the cooling water from the cooling tower 11 directly as a cold heat source, it is possible to use cold water produced by so-called free cooling, and energy saving operation can also be achieved. Because the fluctuation of the cooling capacity of the primary cooling system is covered by the second stage direct expansion coil, the free cooling period can be extended and the annual operating cost of the refrigerator can be further reduced. In this way, by using the primary cooling device as a cold water coil, the energy saving effect by free cooling can be further enhanced.
[0038]
It is preferable that the cold water temperature and the refrigerant evaporation temperature of the cold water coil 1 of the primary cooling device and the direct expansion coil 33 of the packaged air conditioner 31 of the secondary cooling device are controlled to temperatures at which no condensation occurs on the coil surface. It is possible to obtain a humidity atmosphere that is always favorable for the communication equipment and the like housed in the rack in the communication equipment room R.
[0039]
Moreover, since the condenser of the outdoor unit 35 of the all-sensible heat treatment type package air conditioner 31 is air-cooled, it can be installed dispersedly on the veranda etc. of each communication equipment room R, and the space can be used effectively. It is.
[0040]
Furthermore, since the air-conditioning air having an appropriate temperature is separately supplied to the maintenance area M where personnel are working by the blow-out device 40, a suitable maintenance environment without waste is realized by effectively using energy. .
[0041]
According to the present invention, as described above, since the large temperature difference cooling is performed, the air conditioning of the room where the computer and various high-density heating devices are installed as well as the communication equipment room described above. A significant reduction in the amount of air blowing required can be realized. In addition, the installation area of the air conditioner can be reduced.
[0042]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, a flexible operation pattern of a cooling device can be implemented in a facility with high-density exhaust heat from a communication device or the like, and space and energy can be saved.
