Introduction
Inch series and metric series cabinets are widely used in data center computer rooms and various communication equipment computer rooms for installing various information and communication
communication equipment. In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment in the cabinet, ensure the safe and effective operation of the equipment, and reduce the energy consumption of the equipment room, GB/T 40815 "Electrical
The mechanical structure of gas and electronic equipment conforms to the thermal management of imperial series and metric series cabinets
The thermal management method provides a design guide for the thermal management of the cabinet. The main problems it solves are.
---Specify the universal installation interface specifications and requirements of the thermoelectric cooling system for indoor electronic cabinets;
---Specify the optimal air duct design specifications and requirements for indoor electronic cabinets and cabinet insert boxes and cabinets;
---Specify the cooling performance evaluation specifications for indoor electronic cabinets and thermoelectric cooling systems;
---Specify the performance test specifications and requirements for water supply heat exchangers in indoor electronic cabinets;
---Specify the test specifications for air recirculation and bypass of indoor electronic cabinets.
GB/T 40815 "Thermal Management of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Mechanical Structures Conforming to Inch Series and Metric Series Cabinets" is proposed to be composed of six parts
constitute.
--- Part 1.Design guidelines Thermoelectric cooling system (Peltier effect) interface dimensions and regulations. Designed to standardize thermoelectric cooling systems
The system has universal installation interface dimensions and requirements.
--- Part 2.Determination method of forced air cooling. It is designed to specify the preferred air duct form and design for indoor electronic cabinets, sub-boxes, and chassis
method.
--- Part 3.Design Guidelines Evaluation method for thermoelectric cooling systems (Peltier effect). Designed to standardize the performance of thermoelectric cooling systems
Can evaluate methods and provide design guidelines.
--- Part 4.Cooling performance test of the water supply heat exchanger in the electronic cabinet. Designed to specify performance test specifications for water supply heat exchangers
Fan, to guide the experiment.
--- Part 5.Cooling performance evaluation of indoor cabinets. It is intended to specify a method for assessing the air cooling capacity of indoor electronic cabinets.
--- Part 6.Air recirculation and bypass for indoor cabinets. Tests designed to specify air recirculation and bypass for indoor electronic cabinets
specification.
Among them, the international documents corresponding to the design guidelines of Part 1 and Part 3 have not yet been transformed into Chinese documents due to immature technical content.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
ventilation ventilation

3.2
Buoyancy
The opposing force of the air in the direction of gravity, resulting from the difference in density due to the temperature difference between the air inside and outside the cabinet.
3.3
natural ventilation
Air movement caused by buoyancy.
3.4
Air flow device for ventilation.
3.5
Natural air convection and radiant cooling.
3.6
Air moving device airmovingdevice
Devices that generate air movement, such as fans, blowers, and other devices that force air movement.
3.7
The cabinet is not equipped with ventilation holes and air flow devices, and the heat is transferred to the outside through natural convection and radiation on the outer surface of the cabinet
environment.
NOTE. The internal air temperature gradually increases from the bottom to the top of the cabinet.
