Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling an air conditioning system for a data processing system having at least one row of server cabinets, wherein the series of server cabinets limits a cold aisle, which is sealed off against a, the cold aisle side facing away from hot air, wherein at least one air conditioner Warm air sucked, cooled and injected into the cold aisle, and being sucked from at least one of the server cabinets cold air from the cold aisle and conveyed into the aisle or in the surrounding space.
- inline air conditioning units which are arranged between the server cabinets at certain intervals, depending on the dissipated power loss of the data processing system.
- These air conditioners have fans that suck the hot air from the hot aisles or from the surrounding air via hot air, cooled by means of one or more flowed through with water / refrigerant heat exchanger and blowing cold air blown into the foreclosed cold aisles.
- the object of the method is achieved in that the regulation of the air flow rate of the air conditioner is carried out by means of a pressure control, as input of the pressure control uses a measured pressure difference between a pressure sensor in cold aisle or hot aisle and a pressure sensor in the surrounding space outside the cold aisle or hot aisle becomes.
- the air conditioner has a control unit or is in communication with a higher-level control unit, the input side with at least one pressure sensor and at least a second pressure sensor and the output side with one or more fans of the air conditioner in conjunction, said means the measured pressure difference between the pressure sensor, which is arranged in the cold aisle or warm aisle, and the pressure sensor, which is arranged in the non-sealed space outside the cold aisle or hot aisle, a signal for controlling the fan speed can be derived.
- the air flow rate of the air conditioner or the air conditioners is reduced and at a minimum differential pressure preset lower pressure in the cold aisle, the air flow rate of the air conditioner is increased. It can be provided that the air flow rate of the air conditioner is changed by the change in the speed of the air conditioner associated fan. This can be realized for example by a corresponding proportional control of the fan speed.
- the surrounding space is formed by the warm aisle.
- a foreclosed cold aisle in which the differential pressure between the cold aisle and the non-sealed area of the space is used for the regulation of the fan power.
- a foreclosed aisle which collects the blown in by the server cabinets warm air, which then sucks by means of the air conditioner, cools and again provided as cold air on the input side of the server cabinets available.
- the previously described control method and the corresponding device can also be used.
- the pressure difference between the foreclosed cold aisle or warm aisle and the surrounding space outside is regulated to a certain pressure difference range, the pressure in the cold aisle relative to the surrounding space is increased accordingly or the pressure in the hot aisle relative to the surrounding space is kept correspondingly reduced. This ensures that sufficient cold air or a small excess of cold air is offered to the cold aisle to supply the server cabinets and on the other hand, in a foreclosed warm aisle, enough warm air is sucked off, so that no heat accumulation can occur.
- a particularly accurate control and detection of disturbances can be achieved when controlled to a pressure difference range between 5 and 30 Pa.
- two or more pressure sensors and / or two or more pressure sensors in the surrounding space are used to determine the pressure in the cold aisle or in the hot aisle. This has the advantage that there is redundancy if a pressure sensor would provide erroneous readings.
- the evaluation with respect to pressure fluctuations can be designed to be more stable in operation if an average value is formed in each case from the measured values of the pressure sensors in the sealed cold aisle or hot aisle and from the measured values of the pressure sensors outside the foreclosure and a differential pressure is determined with these average values for the respective pressure.
- the pressure sensors in the foreclosed area and in the area outside the foreclosure are arranged outside a direct flow of a cold air flow and / or a warm air flow, it can be ensured that no falsifications of the measurement results due to additional negative pressure due to air flows and / or accumulation pressure occur, especially in this fine control , This could then provide particularly erroneous measured values, for example, if the pressure sensors were arranged directly in front of blow-out or suction areas of the fans of the server cabinets or the air conditioning units.
- a particularly advantageous variant of the device results if the pressure sensors are designed as differential pressure sensors in the sealed-off region and outside the sealed-off region.
- the installation effort is reduced because only one sensor is connected.
- a mutual monitoring of the two part sensors can be realized, since the two part sensors directly correspond to a signal conditioning and thus can immediately generate a signal to the control unit, for example, if one of the two part sensors provides erroneous values.
- this has further features that are necessary for carrying out the method described above. These are, for example, corresponding comparators and differential amplifiers, power controllers or speed controllers for the fan motors, and electronic components for signal conditioning of the measurement signals from the pressure sensors.
- monitoring devices for monitoring the pressure sensors and plausibility monitoring to prevent false alarms can be provided.
- Fig. 1 shows a detail of an initially mentioned data processing system 1, which is composed of several server cabinets 40.
- the server control cabinets 40 are usually arranged spaced apart in two rows, that a cold aisle 50 is formed.
- the cold aisle 50 is sealed off with panels for a Deckenabschottung 51 and with door bulkheads 52 with respect to the surrounding space.
- an air conditioner 10 is provided, which is placed between the server cabinets 40 and sucks warm air from the surrounding space outside, this cools and blows cold air into the cold aisle 50.
- Each of the server control cabinets has a large number of system bays with their own, independently operating fans, which draw in the cold air in the cold aisle 50. The air heated by the power loss is subsequently delivered to the space surrounding the data processing system 1.
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of a data processing system 1 with a plurality of server cabinets 40 and a plurality of air conditioners 10 arranged between the server cabinets 40, as are known, for example, under the name "LCP Inline" of the Applicant.
- the server cabinets 40 are arranged in two rows, wherein between the rows a cold aisle 50 is formed, which is approximately hermetically separated by means of door bulkheads 52 and Deckenabschottitch 51 (not visible in this view) from the surrounding space.
- the air conditioners 10 1 1 hot air is sucked in from the surrounding space by means of fan 13 and cooled by means of heat exchanger 12 via a hot air intake.
- the heat exchanger 12 are flowed through with cooling water.
- the air thus cooled is conveyed as cold air via cold air injections 14 to the cold aisle 50.
- the server control cabinets 40 have on the cold aisle 50 side facing cold air 41, over which the cold air from the cold aisle 50 individually, according to the installed system components and the current need for cold air, can be sucked.
- the air heated by the power loss is returned via corresponding hot air outlets 42 to the space surrounding the data processing system 1.
- the cold air and hot air flows 60, 70 are shown in the figure as block arrows.
- the hot air is drawn from the surrounding space via the hot air intake 1 1 of the air conditioner 10 by means of one or more fans 13, wherein usually the input side nor air filters are provided, which are not shown here.
- the warm air is then passed through the heat exchanger 12 and the air is cooled.
- the heat exchanger 12 has in the example shown a cooling water circuit 16 through which the heat extracted from the air can be removed. Also conceivable are cooling circuits through which a refrigerant or a cooling brine flows.
- the cold air is then fed via the cold air injection 14 to the cold aisle 50.
- the method and the device can be achieved that, on the one hand, an optimal and at the same time energy-saving cooling of such data processing systems 1 is provided.
- the reliability is increased because failures or defects in the air transport can be detected immediately.
