Air conditioning apparatus for use in information/data center

Abstract

An air conditioning apparatus for use in information/data centers is provided, including a housing assembly, a wind-blowing device, a heat exchanger, and a separating mechanism. The housing assembly has a first housing and a second housing. The wind-blowing device is disposed in the housing assembly for guiding airflow into the housing assembly for heat exchange. The separating mechanism is used for dismembering the housing assembly in order to move the first housing or the second housing, and for incorporating the housing assembly to enable the heat exchanger to exchange heat.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air conditioning apparatus for use in information/data centers, comprising
 a housing assembly having at least a first housing and a second housing;   a wind-blowing device disposed in the housing assembly for guiding airflow therein;   a heat exchanger disposed in the housing assembly for exchanging heat with the airflow guided in by the wind-blowing device; and   a separating mechanism for dismembering the housing assembly to move the first housing or the second housing, and for incorporating the housing assembly into one to enable the heat exchanger to exchange heat.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioning claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the housing assembly further comprises a third housing disposed between the first and second housings, and the separating mechanism further includes a first separating sub-mechanism and a second separating sub-mechanism for dismembering or incorporating the first, the second or the third housing. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the separating mechanism is a sliding rod structure or a sliding groove structure for working in conjunction with a sliding wheel to dismember or incorporate the housing assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 3 , wherein when the housing assembly is in a state of detachment, one end of the sliding wheel is placed under the separating mechanism to support the housing assembly, and when the housing assembly is in a state of incorporation, the sliding wheel is stored into the separating mechanism. 
     
     
         5 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the sliding rod structure further includes a sliding rod, a first pivotal element and a second pivotal element, two ends of the sliding rod pivotally connecting to the first and second pivotal elements, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the sliding groove structure further includes a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove, and the first sliding groove couples to the second sliding groove when the housing assembly is in a state of incorporation. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of sliding wheels or a plurality of supporting wheels disposed on the housing assembly for moving or supporting the first housing or the second housing. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one side surface of the first housing serves as an inlet opening, and at least one side surface of the second housing serves as an outlet opening. 
     
     
         9 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the second housing have a first cover board and a second cover board respectively, for allowing airflow to be guided into the housing assembly from an opening formed on the first cover board and led away from the housing assembly from an opening formed on the second cover board. 
     
     
         10 . The air conditioning apparatus claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a condensed water plate disposed on the heat exchanger.
