Introduction

Imperial and metric series server racks are widely used in data center computer rooms and various communication equipment rooms for installing various information and communication equipment.

Communication equipment. To improve the heat dissipation efficiency of equipment within the cabinet, ensure safe and efficient operation of the equipment, and reduce energy consumption in the computer room, GB/T 40815 "Electrical Equipment" is required.

The document "Thermal Management of Air and Electronic Equipment Mechanical Structures in Imperial and Metric Series Cabinets" elaborates on the requirements for imperial and metric series cabinets.

This paper presents thermal management methods that provide design guidelines for rack thermal management. The main problems it addresses include.

---Specifies the universal installation interface specifications and requirements for the thermoelectric cooling system of indoor electronic cabinets;

---Specifies the design specifications and requirements for optimal airflow in indoor electronic cabinets and their internal enclosures and chassis;

---Specifications for evaluating the cooling performance of indoor electronic cabinets and thermoelectric cooling systems;

---Specifies the performance test specifications and requirements for water supply heat exchangers in indoor electronic cabinets;

---Specifies the test specifications for air recirculation and bypass of indoor electronic cabinets.

GB/T 40815 is proposed to consist of six parts.

---Part 1: Design Guidelines. Interface Dimensions and Specifications for Thermoelectric Cooling Systems (Peltier Effect). This aims to standardize thermoelectric cooling systems.

It has universal installation interface dimensions and requirements.

---Part 2: Methodology for Determining Forced Air Cooling. This section aims to specify the optimal airflow configuration and design for indoor electronic cabinets, enclosures, and chassis.

---Part 3: Design Guidelines. Evaluation Methods for Thermoelectric Cooling Systems (Peltier Effect). Aimed at standardizing the performance of thermoelectric cooling systems.

Evaluation methods and design guidelines are provided.

---Part 4: Cooling Performance Testing of Water Supply Heat Exchangers in Electronic Cabinets. This section aims to specify the performance testing procedures for water supply heat exchangers.

Parts 1 and 3 correspond to international documents that are technical specifications and have not yet been converted into Chinese documents.

This document proposes a method for easily measuring the airflow recirculation rate and bypass rate within a server rack, clarifying the characteristics of cooling airflow in such racks.

The level of effective recyclability is intended to provide a reference for cabinet equipment integrators and developers.

Mechanical structure of electrical and electronic equipment Thermal management compliant with imperial and metric series cabinets Part 6: Air Recirculation and Bypass in Indoor Cabinets

1 Scope

This document pertains to thermal management of cabinets compliant with IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series standards, providing compatibility measurements for recirculation rate and bypass rate.

These measurement methods define the quality of airflow in forced air cooling and are generally applicable to rack-mounted and/or chassis-based equipment.

Indoor server racks.

Note 1.Both recirculation and bypass represent leaky airflow, which is a detrimental phenomenon in terms of cooling efficiency; their measurement is obviously intended to mitigate this situation.

This document contains the following.

a) Definitions of recirculation and bypass flow rates in cabinet cooling;

b) The level of recirculation rate (RC);

c) The definition formula for the recycle rate RCs of forced air-cooled enclosures and/or enclosure-based equipment installed in the rack;

d) The definition formulas for the recirculation rate RCr and bypass rate BPR of the entire cabinet;

e) Requirements for each temperature measurement method needed to calculate the recirculation rates RCs, RCr, and bypass rate BPR.

Note 2.This document includes provisions for measuring bypass ratio, but does not include provisions for bypass ratio level.

The diagrams used are not intended to guide product design; they are only used for illustrative purposes when defining forced airflow.

The recirculation and bypass measurement methods described in this document assume applicability to indoor-installed cabinets. The cooling air inlet is located at the front of the cabinet.

The heated air is exhausted to the rear or top surface, either on the front or bottom. These methods are also suitable for outdoor installations with heat exchangers at the front or back.

Cabinets for cooling devices such as air conditioners or cooling units (see Appendix C).

The recycle rate of a cabinet or rack is defined for each individual cabinet or rack-based device installed in the rack, or for the entire rack.

The bypass rate of a cabinet is defined for the entire cabinet.
