Filed:

Dec 6, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/312669

Inventors:

Erez Borowsky - Albuquerque NM, US
James R. Fink - Exeter RI, US

International Classification:

H05K 7/18
F16J 15/02

US Classification:

211 26, 277637

Abstract:

An air sealing device for installation in server racks to minimize the internal mixing of cooling air with warm air without passing through a server. The device has an elongated support strip of ABS or similar plastic material, to one portion of one side of which is secured a double side foam mounting strip, with an outside adhesive surface covered by a removable strip. A Neoprene foam, resiliently flexible sealing strip is adhesively secured by one edge margin thereof to the available surface portion of the support strip, on the same side as the mounting strip. The sealing strip can be mounted on a rack element to extend across an air space and into contact with a cover panel to prevent bypass air flow along sides of the rack. The device can also be mounted on a frame element to extend over surface areas thereof to close openings therein.

International Classification:

H05K 7/18
F16J 15/02

US Classification:

211 26, 277637

Abstract:

An air seal for a server rack installed in a data center which delivers cool air to the fronts of racks and removes warm air at the back, where one or more of the racks are elevated by wheels or legs. A seal support member of rigid plastic and of right angle cross section has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion is adhesively secured to a downwardly facing surface at the bottom front and/or back of the rack. The horizontal portion is recessed at opposite ends to accommodate wheels or legs at opposite sides of the rack. The vertical portion extends across the full width of the rack and projects downward. A sealing strip of EPDM foam is adhesively secured to the vertical portion and is held flexed against the floor, forming a seal against the flow of by-pass air underneath the rack.

International Classification:

B60H 304

US Classification:

62239

Abstract:

An apparatus for a non-mechanical refrigerated vehicle is disclosed. A rail car (10) has an enclosed storage area (17). A bunker (20) is positioned proximate the ceiling (16) for containing solid refrigerant flakes. Loading manifold (50), supply manifold (70) and the nozzle (75) transfer and convert the liquid CO. sub. 2 into the solid refrigerant flakes that are directed into the bunker (22). A mesh screen (30) allows for vapor to exit the bunker (22) to the storage area (17). The screen mesh (30) is positioned proximate the first sidewall (11). The sidewalls (11) and (12) have channels (34) and the floor strips (44) have air flow channels (44e) for the flow of air, including vapor. When the refrigerant flakes sublimate in the bunker (22), the vapor flows from the bunker (22) out the screen mesh (30), down the channel (34) of the first sidewall (11), across the air flow channel ( 44e) and up the channel (34) of the second sidewall (32), all by convection.
