Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method aspect for removing heat from a data center may use liquid coolant cooled without vapor compression refrigeration on a liquid cooled information technology equipment rack. The method may also include regulating liquid coolant flow to the data center through a range of liquid coolant flow values with a controller-apparatus based upon information technology equipment temperature threshold of the data center.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a data center, the method comprising: removing heat from a data center using liquid coolant cooled without vapor compression refrigeration on a liquid cooled information technology equipment rack; Regulating data center temperature within three distinct zones of control with a controller-apparatus that includes a computer processor, wherein the three distinct zones comprise a first, second and third zone; regulating the liquid co…
