Cooling apparatus and method thereof for apparatus room

Abstract

The present invention provides a cooling apparatus and a method for an apparatus room, which is related to a cooling apparatus capable of transferring the heat generated by the heat source in the apparatus room out of the apparatus room and comprises a heat pipe having a heat transfer fluid flowing therein and attached to at least one heat transfer unit, characterized in that: one end portion of the heat transfer unit conducts a heat exchange with the heat source and the heat is transferred to another end portion thereof such that the heat is removed for cooling. The heat generated by the heat source is removed and carried away via the effective heat transfer to a remote end such that the temperature surrounding the heat source can be kept at low temperature and the effect of improved cooling can be advantageously achieved.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cooling apparatus for an apparatus room, related to a cooling apparatus capable of transferring heat generated by a heat source in said apparatus room out of said apparatus room; wherein said apparatus room is installed with a heat transfer pipe comprising a heat transfer fluid therein, and said heat transfer pipe is attached to at least one heat transfer unit; said cooling apparatus characterized in that:
 one end portion of said heat transfer unit conducts a heat exchange with said heat source inside said apparatus room to transfer said heat to another end portion of said heat transfer unit such that said heat generated by said heat source is removed for lowering a temperature thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The cooling apparatus for an apparatus room according to  claim 1 , wherein each one of said end portions of said heat transfer unit comprises a heat sink module respectively to increase a heat transfer area thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The cooling apparatus for an apparatus room according to  claim 1 , wherein said cooling apparatus uses a cooling method further defined to be any one of an air-cooling method and a liquid-cooling method. 
     
     
         4 . The cooling apparatus for an apparatus room according to  claim 3 , wherein said cooling apparatus uses said air-cooling method; said heat transfer pipe is an air-flow pipe; said fluid therein is an air; and one end of said heat transfer pipe comprises a low-temperature air generating device and another end thereof comprises an air-flow guiding fan. 
     
     
         5 . The cooling apparatus for an apparatus room according to  claim 3 , wherein said cooling apparatus uses said liquid-cooling method; said heat transfer pipe is a liquid-flow pipe; said fluid therein is a liquid; and one end of said heat transfer pipe comprises a low-temperature liquid generating device and another end thereof comprises a liquid-flow guiding device. 
     
     
         6 . A cooling method for an apparatus room, comprising the steps of:
 (a) causing heat exchange of one end portion of a heat transfer unit with a heat source inside the apparatus room;   (b) adjusting and fixing the heat transfer unit in accordance with on-site conditions; and   (c) setting another end portion of the heat transfer unit away from the heat source.   
     
     
         7 . The cooling method for a data center according to  claim 6 , wherein each one of said end portions comprises a heat sink module respectively to increase a heat transfer area thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The cooling method for a data center according to  claim 6 , wherein said end portion of said heat transfer unit that is away from the heat source uses natural cooling or fan cooling for lowering temperature. 
     
     
         9 . The cooling method for a data center according to  claim 6 , wherein said end portion of said heat transfer unit that is away from the heat source uses a cooling water for lowering a temperature thereof.
